Universal Product Features

Advanced ROV robot technology for intelligent integration

Our advanced underwater ROVs are powered by BRIDGE technology, a proprietary hardware and software suite that leverages multi-core processing to provide a set of high-tech features seamlessly across all our robotic platforms.

BRIDGE provides intelligent integration of a range of sensors and payloads such as Tritech sonars and underwater GPS, with the flexibility and scope for future third-party products. It also enables capabilities such as sensor fusion and positioning sensor optimization, and camera enhancements such as underwater image optimization, auto-stabilization, and zero-latency operation.

High-resolution camera modules

All of our ROV packages are equipped out of the box with a standard 1080p camera, with the option to upgrade to an enhanced custom 4K camera.

The Full HD 1080p standard camera is ideal for a wide variety of missions, and uses smaller file sizes for extended videos. The enhanced 4K camera upgrade delivers ultra-sharp videos for capturing the finest details or irregularities during underwater inspections. The extra-wide lens on the 4K upgrade also allows more content to fit on screen and provides superior detail at shorter focal lengths.

Easy-to-use handheld controller with multi-feed display

Each Deep Trekker ROV is also supplied with a lightweight handheld controller allowing you to view underwater sonar, map positioning, and video feed all on one easy-to-read screen.

The controller also provides an HDMI output that allows you to extend the display to larger screens such as a laptop or monitor.
