Expected to Ship in a Week!

As of November firmware update: This camera is now PLUG and PLAY with ArduSub Companion and QGround Control. No drivers needed!

This patent pending UVC compliant camera is the first of its kind to feature a high definition USB output while achieving a waterproof rating of IP69K. With the use of a modern Sony sensor and a 4 layer PCB design, this camera will be able to see in low light conditions like never before. Thanks to advanced automated exposure and white balance adjustments, this camera produces accurate colors and a pleasing natural image. With H.264 compression technology and our open-source camera driver, up to 4 cameras can be connected at once and streamed via ethernet without major quality loss or latency. This makes our camera the perfect choice for advanced multi-cam ROV/AUV setup.
