Nite Track™ uses the latest in CCD (Charge Coupled Device) technology which
produces images that are more detailed than what thermal imaging can produce.
Additionally, CCD produces a better depth of eld, unlike image intensication
technologies.
Nite Track™ uses on-board near IR illumination. When switched on, these small
illuminators emit a 12 degree beam of IR light that’s near the peak spectral
response of the CCD chip set. While essentially invisible to humans, the CCD
sensor “see’s” this light much as a human eye will see a spotlight. This allows a
user to illuminate a close in terrain or shoreline feature even in zero light condi-
tions. Nite Track™ utilizes one illuminator, located underneath the CCD sensor.
It provides uniform illumination overlaying the lens eld of view.

Conrm your Nite Track™ is aimed to properly display what’s in front of the
boat, which will give you the best usable image while navigating at night. The
diagrams below illustrates typical positioning set-ups used for adjusting the
camera on the RAM mount. Adjust the camera so that when the boat is not
moving, the camera eld of view is approximately 40% water and 60% horizon
and sky.

Typically, when the hull comes on plane, the image will even out, close to 50/50.
The camera image should be displaying what’s immediately ahead of you. If the
camera is mounted off the centerline, as shown below, slightly angle the
positioning inward so that at approximately 100 yards, the camera image should
display what is immediately ahead of the boat.
