Iris Innovations, which makes onboard security cameras and situational awareness systems, has partnered with Garmin on the IrisControl app.

The app is now compatible with Garmin’s TD50 5-inch display.

Iris redesigned the IrisControl software, in conjunction with its CMAC range of camera management and control systems, into a control pad-style application for Garmin’s TD50 displays.

Users can also view and control onboard cameras from the IrisControl interface even if they aren’t using a compatible Garmin system.

“In 2021, we launched the CMAC range of camera management and control systems for boats,” Carl Hitchcock, managing director of Iris Innovations, stated in a press release. “Hosting the unique and feature-packed IrisControl app for the Garmin OneHelm platform, CMAC provided boat owners with a single unified camera management, control and recording interface. Now, our proven software is greatly enhanced, allowing us to offer Garmin’s TD50 with the same great functionality.”

The TD50 interface is marketed as being ideal for larger vessels where screens are set back out of reach, or are not touch-based.

How might this work on board? By installing a Garmin TD50 version of the IrisControl interface into a captain’s chair or within arm’s reach, users can now fully control, switch, manage and review their onboard camera video.
