Autonomous Timelapse System
Set it, deploy it & trust it to capture high-quality imaging
✓ In stock
This upgraded system combines SubC’s industry-leading Rayfin camera with advanced programmable software for unparalleled control over timelapse captures, lighting, and deployment-specific configurations. Designed for versatility to support both short-term surveys and long-term operations across battery-deployed setups such as drop frames, baited or unbaited landers, BRUV systems, and AUVs.
Available as a standalone camera or integrated system with LEDs, lasers and batteries to suit your budget and deployment requirements.
Key features:
-
The intuitive visual script builder streamlines setup for custom timelapse captures, event-based triggers, and advanced scripting. With a user-friendly interface, you can easily program intervals, lighting, and sensor responses for precise, autonomous operations.
-
Automatically log date, time, and sensor data with embedded metadata. Customize file structures for organized data, plus fast, secure downloads with simplified video and image review.
-
Optional Hibernation Mode maximizes battery life, enabling continuous monitoring over months or years. The system conserves power between captures, ensuring reliable, long-term performance for extended underwater deployments.
Operational Confidence
Real-time status indicators and optional biofouling control ensure the camera is ready for deployment and operates reliably in various underwater environments, minimizing unexpected failures.
Superior Data Quality
Customizable white balance, focus, and exposure settings for optimal image quality. Available lighting and laser enhance image clarity, even in low light or deep-sea conditions.
Flexible Deployment for Any Depth
Compatible with various set-ups like drop frames, landers, and AUVs, the system offers camera options with depth ratings from 500m - 6000m (11,000m coming soon).
“It’s the only off-the-shelf system I’ve come across that combines very high quality timelapse imaging with a hibernation mode…it’s made a huge difference in how we study ecosystems through time and has given us insights we couldn’t get any other way.”
— Dr. Todd Bond, Deputy Director, Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre
