SubC Imaging has released an exclusive new Hibernation feature as an optional hardware add-on for its Autonomous Camera System powered by a Rayfin subsea camera.
Designed for subsea camera systems running on battery power, this add-on allows long-term time-lapse over months and even years, capturing slow processes that wouldn’t be visible to the human eye.
The Hibernation feature allows SubC Imaging’s Autonomous Camera System and connected equipment to be deployed in a location and left to run for months at a time.
All footage is stored in the camera’s internal memory, and the camera runs through a script before hibernating to conserve power. After a set period of time, the Hibernation function powers the Rayfin back up to run through the script again. This process continues until the system is retrieved or runs out of battery.
To ensure the success of a project using the Hibernation feature, SubC Imaging has created detailed documentation, guides, and webinars that are included on a USB stick with the Autonomous Camera System. This material covers everything from testing and setting up a script to the wiring and deployment of the system.
With the Hibernation feature, SubC Imaging is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with underwater camera systems.
SubC Imaging CEO and Camera Systems Manager, Chad Collett, commented, “Our customers have been requesting this feature for a long time, and we’re thrilled to finally provide it. It’s the result of our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with underwater camera systems. The Hibernation feature will allow our customers to capture incredible footage over extended periods of time, even in remote locations with limited access to power sources.”
