4K UHD NETWORK VIDEO STREAMING
The IP Apex SeaCam brings high-quality 4K UHD network video streaming to subsea imaging applications. Using the same proprietary corrector optics as the standard Apex SeaCam, the IP version provides superior imaging performance with a low-distortion 70° HFOV and a 12x optical zoom.
This subsea camera supports common real-time network streaming and camera management protocols as well as h.264 and h.265 compression. The h.265 compression engine minimizes streaming bandwidth and recorded file size, enabling 4K recording to the onboard 256 GB solid-state storage.
Tested with over 10,000 pressure cycles to 6,000 m depth during the validation process, the titanium housing and optically polished dome provide a proven safe and reliable design. The IP Apex SeaCam benefits scientific research and exploration, cinematography, and projects that require the highest quality imaging.
This camera includes a mounting bracket with 1/4″-20 imperial threads.
