Panoblu Seaview
Full-colour 360° vision in live 4K from one masthead unit, watching the whole horizon continuously. The daylight system, and the natural place to start.
Colour vision, all the way round
One unit at the masthead holding the whole horizon in full colour, continuously, in live 4K. It is the daylight system: everything the vessel passes, sees and does, watched and kept without anyone pointing a camera at it.
Everything, all the time
Panoblu stares. Every bearing is watched and recorded at once, so nothing depends on where a camera happened to be pointing. A conventional camera is aimed — it shows one bearing at a time, and the rest of the horizon while it is turned away is simply not there.
The vessel’s own record of its days
Guests see where they are rather than a corridor of screens, and the vessel keeps a genuine record of its seasons: the anchorages, the arrivals, the light. Charter programmes and owners’ representatives use it as much as the bridge does.
The entry point, with the way up already built
Seaview is the natural place to start. The housing, the mounting and the viewer are the same ones the thermal models use, so adding thermal later is a change of system rather than a change of everything around it.
What the system is looking through
Every Panoblu shares the same housing; what differs between models is which arrays are fitted. This is a plan view from directly above, with the bow at the top — each mark is a lens, and together they cover the full circle.
- 2 Colour vision Full-colour daylight imagery in live 4K, port and starboard, overlapping into one panorama.
- — Photography Twelve positions, fitted on the Panoblu Ultra flagship.
- — Mid-range thermal The thermal working band around the horizon, fitted on the models that carry thermal.
- — Wide-angle thermal Close-in thermal cover down the hull sides and along the decks.
- — Upward thermal The upward add-on, available on the thermal models.
What goes alongside it
Each step is a separate part of the system, and each one can be added later. Start with the survey: the mast decides the kit.

This item
Panoblu Seaview
Full-colour 360° vision on the masthead, with storage, the web viewer and capture on board the unit itself. Months of recorded history stay on the camera, depending on how retention is set.
-
Step 2 · required
Installation kit
Chosen from the mast: a slimmer section, a wider section, or the dual install system for larger and twin-mast layouts. A survey settles which, and the survey is the best hour anyone spends on the project.
-
Step 3 · extends it
On-board server software
History beyond the camera’s own window, a second copy of the recordings, and several live viewers at once, on the vessel’s own server.
-
Step 4 · reach from shore
Cloud recordings
Selected recordings held ashore, so the owner and the management team can reach them from anywhere. Runs alongside the on-board server software.

Planning and commissioning
Panoblu engineering with the yard and the crew: installation planning, drawings, engineering works and commissioning, so the installation is designed before anyone lifts a tool.
A better view, and a memory of it
Panoblu gives the people aboard something they have never had: the whole horizon, kept. What that means in practice is worth being clear about before it is aboard.
The system watches and remembers; the crew interprets. It is persistent imagery for human eyes and human judgement — the officer of the watch stays the one who decides what matters.
Because everything is recorded, questions that used to be unanswerable get answered: what passed at 04:00, how the anchorage filled, when the tender left. Months of recorded history stay on board, and how long it keeps is configurable to the vessel.
Storage, the viewer and capture live inside the masthead unit, so the system is complete on its own. Server software, cloud reach and the thermal models are all steps you can take later.
The parts of this, explained
The daylight system in full: 360° colour vision in live 4K, zoom into the recorded panorama, and stills worth keeping.

OpenQuoted per vessel, through partners
What this needs alongside it — the mounting kit, the installation days, the software — depends on your mast and your vessel. A Panoblu partner surveys it and quotes the components it actually needs. Tell us where you are, and we will introduce you to the right one.
