Underwater Network Camera Series

Product Overview & Series Introduction

The Underwater Network Camera Series by HYSF Subsea (Xiamen Chuida Technology Co., Ltd.) is a core electronic product line meticulously engineered for real-time deep-sea monitoring, environmental data acquisition, and high-definition maritime intelligence. As a nationally accredited high-tech enterprise driven by independent technical R&D, HYSF has developed this advanced digital imaging portfolio to deliver elite domestic substitution for core imported subsea components, effectively breaking international brand monopolies across high-end marine industries.

Every camera in this series integrates high-definition imaging sensors, specialized digital signal processing (DSP), and high-bandwidth network transmission technologies. To survive continuous submersion under extreme hydrostatic working pressures, the camera assemblies are protected by heavy-duty sealed cavities precision-machined from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy or thick-walled 316L stainless steel, paired with optical-grade pressure-resistant glass windows. Real-time remote streaming of high-definition video is securely routed through integrated subsea wet-mateable connector interfaces (such as MCBH series penetrators) or heavy-duty cable glands, forming a completely sealed bulkhead barrier that shields internal electronics from seawater ingress. Depending on your operational requirements, our standardized network imaging sets include:

• High-Resolution USB Camera Series: Compact form-factor architectures—including the SFUSBSL-67H3M-4K, SFUSBSG-87H5M-4K, and heavy-duty SFUSBSG-127H40M-4K models—outfitted with standard MCBH4M or MCBH5M penetrators. Operating under a steady 5V DC working voltage, these cameras utilize a 1.94mm distortion-free lens with auto-focus functions to pipe continuous 4K (12 Megapixel) video arrays up to 30fps straight to Windows or Android monitoring stations.
• High-Definition Network Series: Advanced IP camera configurations—such as the SFSL-97H1M, SFSE-97H3M, SFSL-107H5M, and deep-sea SFSL-112H20M variants—supporting Hikvision, ONVIF, and RTSP digital network protocols. Operating over 12V DC power paths, these units deliver ultra-clear 2MP or 5MP resolution frames at up to 25fps with adjustable brightness, saturation, and contrast boundaries.
• Illuminated IP & Coaxial Systems: Integrated visual enclosures—including the Illuminated Network (SFDSG-116H3M24W) and Illuminated Coaxial (SFTDSG-116H6M24W) series—that mount high-efficiency 24W LED arrays directly onto the camera face. Controlled via MCBH10M or MCBH12M dimmable penetrators, these combined modules allow ROV pilots to dim localized lighting environments via Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) from 10% to 100% duty cycles to eliminate underwater backscatter.
• Standard Coaxial HD Series: Low-latency analog tracking systems (such as the SFTSL-97H3M and heavy SFTSG-127H40M models) designed with a dedicated 75Ω coaxial subsea line interface to match high-speed video recording hardware perfectly.

Key Technical Specifications & Core Features

• Broad Hydrostatic Performance: Highly modular structural depth variants rated across 1MPa, 3MPa, 5MPa, 20MPa, 40MPa, up to extreme 60MPa deep-sea thresholds, securing dry operation down to simulated depths of 6,000 meters.
• Pristine Optical Configurations: Equipped with premium fixed or auto-focus lenses delivering broad 90° viewing angles, supported by integrated video adjustments including auto white balance, backlight compensation, gamma, exposure, and sharp low-light enhancement.
• Flexible Platform Compatibility: Fully compatible with leading international global subsea connector norms, providing direct wet-mate interchangeability with brands like SubConn and Seacon to slash cross-brand retrofitting costs.
• Elite Marine Metallurgy: External components are precision-machined out of hard-anodized aircraft aluminum or marine-grade 316L stainless steel, paired with high-elastic fluororubber O-rings to combat galvanic corrosion and deep ocean friction.

Industrial Applications & Working Conditions

The HYSF Underwater Network Camera Series serves as a critical terminal for building a transparent ocean, specifically tailored to handle continuous localized vibration, high-salinity corrosive salt sprays, and intense underwater working conditions. Core deployment sectors include:

1. Work-Class ROVs & Subsea Robotic Systems

Deploys as the primary navigation, telemetry telemetry breakout, and target workspace imaging eye for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), and submersibles. It streams zero-latency high-resolution feeds directly to surface vessels, allowing pilots to guide robotic manipulator arms safely during deep-water pipeline inspections, welding sweeps, and resource extractions.

2. Marine Research & Oceanographic Discovery

Extensively utilized by national marine research institutes, defense laboratories, universities, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) for benthic biological documentation, subsea geological disaster early warning systems, and seabed mineral exploration. The anti-fog defrosting and low-light features capture stable recordings in dark, turbid ocean layers.

3. Underwater Search, Rescue, & Civil Salvage

Provides emergency dive teams, salvors, and maritime monitoring authorities with immediate eyes on subsea wreckage or missing assets. Designed to withstand massive mechanical shocks, the unibody shell preserves structural insulation during rapid lowering and rough recovery operations in heavy seas.

4. Offshore Wind Energy & Intelligent Marine Ranching

Acts as a continuous, multi-year monitoring sentinel for offshore wind farm sub-stations, structural turbine foundations, submarine cabling networks, oilfield drilling manifolds, and modern aquaculture net-pens. The metal chassis resists severe biological fouling, macroalgae growth, and persistent tidal wave impacts.
