Underwater Video Camera

 

High-quality, underwater video cameras with zoom designed for hazardous environments and deep water applications up to 6000 meters.

The INSPECTOR underwater video cameras provide 470 TV lines of resolution and 0.02 lux faceplate sensitivity. An 18:1 optical zoom lens and 12X digital zoom lens with automatic focus allows for flawless underwater video without additional focal adjustments. These underwater video cameras also feature a superior 65.9° diagonal wide-angle field of view in water.

Depth rated to 3,000 meters underwater (6,000 meters available), the INSPECTOR camera housing is made from the highest quality 6AL4V titanium. The underwater video cameras are integrated with innovative long line amplifier circuitry that is actuated by a combination of the normal zoom and focus control lines, or via RS-485 communication while the camera is submerged and in operation.

INSPECTOR underwater video cameras are designed to be mounted to a fixed surface or as an integral part of a lighting and positioning system. These underwater video cameras complement the MV-4000 lights from our array of underwater lights and a PT-10 positioner from our family of pan and tilts to constitute a complete turn-key underwater inspection system.
