Observatory Camera System

Designed for cabled array ocean observatories, long-term scientific studies, port security, and offshore structure monitoring. Collect both high-resolution digital stills and video over extremely long durations and store them with up to 1TB of solid-state memory. This flexible seafloor camera system can stream live video, comms and data over Ethernet, or run timelapse automations and scripting.

Key features:

  • Monitor your target anytime with Ethernet-powered live video. And with real-time camera control, like pan and tilt, you can make on-the-spot changes to collect better data. The camera also has the ability to store video and stills directly to a shoreside NAS.

  • Streamline your time lapse projects with our automated settings. These built-in settings enable you to capture videos and digital stills effortlessly, eliminating the need for constant monitoring.

  • Your camera can simplify integration and save time. It can double as a mux to control up to four devices such as LEDs, lasers and pan-tilts. And, as a data-logger, the system has built-in tilt and roll sensors and can store NMEA sensor data.

Subsea camera enables remote real-time and long-term monitoring of seafloor as part of ocean observatory initiative

For the longest time in Newfoundland and Labrador, much of our ocean research has been conducted using surface buoys and sea-going vessels. Over the last 5-6 years, there has been a large amount of investment put into Holyrood for a new ocean observatory that will change all of that.
