FORUS Underwater Technologies
• Innovative underwater video monitoring systemS
(SEAWARD/PROTECT)
• Video streaming and environmental sensors
interconnection
• Integrated Hw/Sw solution adding web
connectivity to a variety of sensors
• Wave, Wind and Solar Energy production solutions
Underwater video monitoring Systems
• Compact ready-to-use system
• Easy installation
• Minimum maintenance
• PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) system using real-time direct transmission (no external devices)
• Variable positioning up to 120 metres
• Real time video MPEG4 & JPEG
• Connection and power system on single cable using inductive technologies
• Advanced camera control system by means of: monitor window, traditional commands and panoramic image
• Motion Detection on selectable areas
Video streaming and environment sensors interconnection
• Interconnection between video & acoustic depth sensors with false negative analisys software and direct moving of camera on sensitive area
• Direct observation system, even in case of limited visibility
• High intensity LED stripe system for better night vision
• Control display with specific device “internal” data
Energy production solutions
• Wave (Forus VEGA Patent pending)
• Wind & Solar platform
• Applicable to many applications ...
• VEGA, when implemented along with
wind/solar platform, may support
wider use of SEAWARD/PROTECT
underwater monitoring systems, even
in deep sea and far from the coast
