SubC Imaging’s Autonomous Timelapse System combines the industry-leading Rayfin camera with advanced programmable software to provide a versatile solution that supports short-term surveys as well as long-term operations with platforms such as drop frames, baited or unbaited landers, BRUV systems, and AUVs.
Offering unparalleled control over timelapse captures, lighting, and configuration, the system provides automated logging of date, time, and sensor data with embedded metadata, and allows users to customize file structures. An optional Hibernation Mode conserves power between captures, maximizing battery life and enabling long-term deployments over months or years.
The Autonomous Timelapse System provides a range of options for depth rating, high-capacity batteries, LED lights and lasers, and biofouling control. The versatile solution is ideal for a variety of ocean science and marine research applications, including:
Marine Biology and Ecology: Monitor aquatic life in situ with minimal disturbance, supporting baited and unbaited observation setups.
Oceanographic Research: Collect time-lapse imagery for studying physical and chemical changes in marine environments.
Infrastructure Inspection: Support autonomous inspection of subsea structures, pipelines, or installations in regions where access is limited.
