Underwater Low Light Camera
Navigator - Underwater Low Light Cameras


 

Underwater low light camera for deep water inspection, navigation, and observation. Used on ROVs, submarines, research vessels, fish observation, and as a SIT replacement camera.

The NAVIGATOR underwater low light monochrome camera can operate in both extreme low light levels and high-intensity sunlight without incurring any damage. Optimum underwater performance is achieved with high resolution (570 TVL) and outstanding low light level sensitivity (3.4 x 10-4 lux faceplate sensitivity). Featuring a water corrected front viewing port the camera provides an exceptional 82° diagonal field of view in water.

Utilizing the latest advancements in digital video processing, the NAVIGATOR underwater low light camera exhibits a high signal-to-noise ratio. This underwater low light camera is a fraction of the cost of a traditional SIT camera and is field proven for low-light inspection. It is available with three corrosion-resistant housing options: 6AL4V titanium, 6061 hard anodized aluminum, or 316 stainless steel.

The NAVIGATOR underwater low light camera is the perfect companion to the INSPECTOR underwater color video camera. When used together these cameras cover all aspects of underwater viewing. These cameras complement our selection of underwater lights and rugged pan and tilt units.
