ACEL Power Launches Marine Industry's First Integrated Low-Light HD Camera for Electric Outboards
Purpose-built module delivers 1080p imaging, on-board AI analytics, and 4G/GPS connectivity—bringing unmatched visibility to electric boating.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ACEL Power, a leader in intelligent electric marine propulsion, today unveiled a compact, high-definition camera engineered specifically for its next-generation Intelligent Electric Series. This is the only factory-integrated camera available on any electric outboard platform, offering boaters and commercial operators real-time visual, diagnostic, and security data—without the need for aftermarket systems.
"Skippers deserve better visibility and safer tools without adding complexity," said Anthony Liu, CEO of ACEL Power. "By embedding smart imaging directly into our electric outboards, we're giving users peace of mind—on the water and at the dock."
Built for challenging marine environments
True low-light performance: Sony 1/2.8″ 2 MP CMOS sensor delivers full-colour images at just 0.05 lux (0.01 lux B/W) and records 1080p video at 30 fps.
Razor-sharp imaging: 2D/3D noise reduction, digital WDR (> 90 dB), and advanced image enhancement keep visuals crisp through glare, spray, and dusk.
AI on the edge: Built-in analytics enable motion, intrusion, and face recognition, plus privacy masking—no external servers needed.
Ultra-efficient streaming: H.265+ compression minimizes data load, with SD storage supporting up to 256 GB of local loop recording.
Always connected: Dual-mode Wi-Fi, optional 4G CAT 4 modem, and GPS/BeiDou enable remote monitoring, geotagged alerts, and browser-based live support—no plug-ins required.
Marine-ready form factor: Measuring just 38 × 38 mm, the unit draws as little as 1.2 W and is encased in a vibration-damped, IP-rated housing, purpose-built by ACEL to withstand saltwater exposure.
Smart boating meets smart diagnostics
"This isn't just about adding a camera—it's about merging vision, diagnostics, and data into one intelligent system," said Natasha Chawla, VP of Sales and Marketing at ACEL Power. "By integrating smart analytics and connectivity directly into the propulsion unit, we're taking a meaningful step toward safer, more proactive boating."
Availability
The integrated camera module will ship standard on ACEL's, IE50 IE75, IE150, AND IE250 electric outboards series, available now. The module is not available for inboard systems.

PRIMERICA HOUSEHOLD BUDGET INDEX™: Spending Power Moderately Improves for Middle-Income Families as Average Earned Income Rises Above Cost Increases of Everyday Necessities
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The latest Primerica Household Budget Index™ (HBI™) data, a monthly economic metric that examines how inflation and wage trends impact the ability of middle-income families to afford life's everyday necessities, was 100.1% in May, a 0.4% increase from a month ago and up 1.5% from a year ago. Purchasing power improved slightly in May as the average earned income of middle-income households rose more than the increase in the cost of necessity items. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) that measures inflation for a comprehensive basket of goods for all U.S. households came in at 2.3% in May. Over the past twelve months ending in May, middle-income households saw a 2.8% rise in the cost of all items and a 2.5% rise in the cost of necessity items used in the HBI™ (food, utilities, gas, auto insurance, and health care). For more information on the Primerica Household Budget Index™ metric, visit About the Primerica Household Budget Index™ (HBI™) The Primerica Household Budget Index™ (HBI™) data is constructed monthly on behalf of Primerica by its chief economic consultant Amy Crews Cutts, PhD, CBE ®. The index measures the purchasing power of middle-income families with household incomes from $30,000 to $130,000 and is developed using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Bureau of Census, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The index looks at the cost of necessities including food, gas, auto insurance, utilities, and health care and earned income to track differences in inflation and wage growth. Primerica's HBI™ metric was created to fill an information void around the economy's impact on middle-income families. Metrics like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measure overall inflation but don't offer a clear picture of how it impacts middle-income Americans. Middle-income households play a key role in driving consumer spending and the overall economy as they account for over 55% of the U.S. population. The purchasing power of middle-income families are a key barometer of real-time economic trends. Understanding middle-income households' purchasing power is important because it shows whether they are gaining financial ground or falling behind. The HBI™ data uses January 2019 as its baseline, with the value set to 100% at that point in time. Periodically, prior HBI™ values may be modified due to revisions in the CPI series and Consumer Expenditure Survey releases by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Beginning with the December 2024 release of the index, the expenditure weights have been updated to the most recent (Q1 2024) data and auto insurance has been added to the group of necessity items.
