Autonomous Subsea Programmable Camera System

Overview

A dependable and effective solution for autonomous subsea camera deployments. Ideal for use with drop frames, baited or unbaited landers, AUV systems, and more. Eliminate the need for expensive cabling and infrastructure with power and battery options that meet your needs. Plus, harness the storage, scripting, and data-logging power of the Rayfin Mk2 Benthic camera and other SubC best-in-class technologies.

Key features:

  • Save time and money with an all-one-system that is ready to deploy. Built-to-order, you get SubC’s signature Rayfin Mk2 Benthic camera that is programmable and runs scripting via our open-source API, battery, and optional LEDs, and lasers.

  • Power and battery options range from one day to more than a year. We’ll recommend the best choice for your application. Or, integrate the system with your existing battery.

  • Your system equipment can be used for multiple applications. Repurpose your camera, battery, LEDs and lasers beyond autonomous deployments and get more out of your investment.

  • SubC Imaging has been designing and manufacturing Autonomous Camera Systems for 10+ years.

  • With our optional Hibernation Hardware, you can capture time-lapse of previously unseen underwater movements and slow processes that occur over months or even years. Designed to maximize battery power, the camera runs through a series of commands before hibernating, with all images and videos stored in its internal memory. Talk to our Sales Team to learn more!
