SS550 DarkCrystal CAM Series – HDR IP Network or CVBS Analog Subsea Camera

The DarkCrystal CAM (Camera and Mini-Ring Light) HDR IP Network Camera is a game-changer in subsea video capture. This camera is available as a high performance HDR IP or CVBS Video or bulkhead version.

This small, affordable, yet rugged subsea self-lighted camera is designed to fit where traditional cameras cannot go. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, SIDUS has significantly improved video quality and, as a result, added numerous features never before available in a compact, easy-to-use light combo.

Video resolution, sensitivity, and dynamic range are all much improved over existing products. A high-quality sapphire port and aluminum housing allow operation down to 3,000 msw for a wide range of applications. The highly flexible, integrated cable helps reduce the overall size and weight of the product for tight spots, such as small ROV pan & tilts with very low torque capability

The SS550 is a feature-rich, low-latency streaming, HDR IP camera that has comparable video specifications that you can change on the fly over the web interface. The password-protected web interface is compatible with secure web browsers such as Google Chrome.

Time stamp and synchronize to a network time server with up to 512GB of onboard recording for video (approximately 2 days or more at highest quality) or still images. Video may be H.264 or MJPEG encoded at video bit rates of up to 20Mbps. The SIDUS SS550 DarkCrystal CAM HDR IP camera also offers three simultaneous video streams supported at different resolutions, frame rates, and compression qualities.

Dimmable LED Light

The dimmable HBLED light can output up to 2500 lumens using our unique high-count LED circuitry to ensure uniform illumination over the entire field of view with minimal shadows. The DarkCrystal CAM design prevents unwanted interference between the HBLEDs and the camera by minimizing reflections onto the camera lens in comparison to other existing similar products. An advanced hybrid dimming algorithm gives the user the option of selecting various HBLED dimming methodologies. Analog dimming minimizes acoustic noise for applications using nearby sonars and acoustic ranging devices. A combination of analog and PWM dimming provides an incredible dimming range of up to 30,000:1.
