Observatory Camera System
Overview
Designed for cabled 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 system can stream live video, comms and data over Ethernet, or run timelapse automations and scripting.
Key features:
-
Includes Rayfin Mk2 Benthic camera capable of capturing both high-resolution digital stills and 4k/HD video. Equipped with lights and lasers, the system is corrosion-proof with full Titanium and Sapphire materials and is certified to 6000m depth.
-
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.
-
Save time with built-in automation settings. These settings - or scripts - allow you to capture timelapse videos and digital stills without constant monitoring. Use the pre-loaded workflows or build your own with our easy-to-use software.
-
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.
