The SeaSpyder Nano is part of a family of field proven camera systems manufactured by STR for the marine survey and environmental communities.
The Ultra Compact SeaSpyder Nano Underwater Drop Camera System offers high resolution digital imaging and photographic quality illumination from within a highly compact form factor. The system comprises of the latest generation STR SeaCam Mini IP camera and two ultra-efficient STR SeaLight LED Lights installed on a lightweight camera deployment frame.
A dedicated Kevlar re-enforced umbilical up to 100m in length is used for frame deployment and communication to the camera system electronics. The system can be mobilised quickly and has been designed for simple operation.
Real time HD video is captured using the supplied STR VidOverlay software. The software driven interface is easy to use and supports typical requirements such as serial and graphical overlay input, field reporting, jpeg still frame capture and adjustment of video recording and display parameters. To ensure safe operation, the subsea electronics operate using a low voltage DC supply from the Surface Integration module. This small waterproof enclosure also provides the data connection to the laptop running STR VidOverlay software.
Key Features
- Ultra compact design
- Single person operation
- High resolution digital imaging
- Photographic quality illumination
- Easy to use software
- Field reporting capability
The SeaSpyder Underwater Drop Camera System is part of a family of field proven camera systems manufactured by STR for the marine survey and environmental communities. This technology has been developed continually by STR for several years in order to satisfy the ever increasing demand for quality and performance.
The SeaSpyderHD is designed for operation in water depths up to 3000m utilising coaxial or fibre-optic umbilicals.
The system as standard offers simultaneous uninterupted recording of low latency live video footage along with high resolution stills photography, along with interfacing to a wide range of sensors and dataloggers
The stills camera is fitted with a high quality 18 mega pixel digital SLR Camera offering full control of all photograpic parameters including manual focus, shutter speed and aperture. The stills camera is housed within a robust 3000m rated aluminium enclosure along with a water corrected lens and also forms the mounting point for HD video camera and quad scaling lasers.
Video footage is provided by the STR SeaSpectrumHD camera offering high a quality 1080P video feed via HD-SDI over dedicated high speed fibre optic link.
All data is transferred directly to the surface unit for live interpretation, this includes HD video, stills photos, serial sensor data and Ethernet data such as an imaging sonar.
A 19” rack mount Surface Control Unit and powerful topside processor give full remote control of the camera via the easy to use GUI software.
As standard, the purpose designed camera deployment frame is fitted with a subsea electronics and camera housing, high power underwater flash, an array of four high intensity LED lamps, quad scaling lasers, altimeter, depth sensor and a heading sensor. Many other sensors are easily integrated via numerous serial & Ethernet data channels.
The system is capable of operating over a wide variety of fibre optic umbilicals allowing very high speed data transfer with extremely low latency. Operation over standard armoured coax cable up to 3000m is also supported utilising the STR SeaSpectrumIP video camera with minimal extra latency.
For ease of transportation, fast mobilisation and maximum robustness the Surface Control Unit and topside processor are housed within a shock mounted, waterproof Peli-Hardigg transportation case with internal 19” rack mounted flip out monitors.
Key Features
- Operation in water depths up to 3000m
- Simultaneous uninterrupted recording
- Interfacing to wide range of sensors and dataloggers
- High resolution stills photography
- Direct data transfer for live interpretation
- Fully remote controllable stills camera settings
This latest development of the popular STR SeaSpyder Drop Camera system not only offers superior performance to its predecessors but also boasts a significant reduction in size and weight.
These advancements allow easy installation to a wide range of ROV and ROTV systems in order to provide ultra-high quality still frame capture.
STR have continued to add features and improve specifications to its line-up of cameras, this latest product has benefited from a complete design review allowing our engineering team to miniaturise all existing features and yet increase performance such as improved resolution and optical performance.
Available with or without internal LED illumination, the STR SeaSpectrum Mini Tooling Camera range provides the ideal solution for small ROV, diver and general inspection operations.
Building on the success of the STR SeaSpectrum range of underwater cameras, the Mini LED Tooling Camera has been designed to offer high quality imagery with 700TVL composite video output in zero light conditions, through clever utilisation of internal high efficiency LED illumination, the Mini Tooling Camera is also available without internal LED illumination and is partnered with a high quality wider angle lens for enhanced field of view. Our standard unit is constructed from highly durable 3000m depth rated anodised aluminium along with sapphire viewport, resulting in a highly compact and light weight unit.
The camera is supplied with a fixed focus lens requiring no operator adjustments. Light level compensation, dynamic noise reduction and image processing are all performed automatically to ensure maximum performance without the requirement for user intervention.
Key Features
- Small and light weight
- 650/700 TVL Resolution
- Depth Rated to 3000m
- Sapphire Lens
- Easily Integrated
- Internal LED Illumination
