SubC Imaging has introduced an upgraded Autonomous Timelapse System, offering marine scientists, environmental analysts, and offshore professionals a more reliable solution for long-term underwater monitoring.
Designed for extended deployment, this system includes a unique hibernation mode that conserves battery life, allowing it to function continuously for months or even years. Its versatile design enables seamless integration with drop frames, landers, BRUV systems, and AUVs, making it suitable for a wide array of research and inspection applications.
Delivering impressive imaging quality, the system captures SD, HD, and 4K video as well as high-resolution 12.3 MP still images. Adjustable settings for white balance, exposure, and focus provide optimal visual clarity across various underwater conditions, ensuring detailed and accurate footage.
Users can easily configure timelapse capture schedules and fine-tune camera settings through an intuitive software interface and a visual script builder. The system also embeds metadata, including time stamps and sensor readings, within each image, simplifying data categorization and post-mission analysis.
Efficient data management features allow for secure, high-speed downloads while customizable file structures streamline data review. These capabilities make it easier to handle extensive datasets, ensuring key insights are readily accessible.
Engineered for prolonged underwater operation, the system includes optional biofouling control to maintain lens clarity over time. Its advanced power-saving mode significantly extends deployment periods, reducing the need for maintenance and manual intervention.
Additional features enhance functionality, including energy-efficient LED lighting for synchronized illumination in low-light environments. Deep red LEDs allow for discreet species observation without altering natural behavior, while integrated precision lasers enable accurate measurement and scaling. Adaptable power options provide compatibility with diverse deployment scenarios, catering to various operational requirements.
Developed with direct input from researchers and field professionals, the system prioritizes ease of use and reliability. By incorporating user-driven improvements, SubC Imaging has created a solution that enhances operational confidence, supports extended missions, and delivers superior imaging performance in demanding underwater environments.
