Description

Standard Cable Length: 1 meter (for longer cable length, contact sales@dwe.ai for a quote)

The exploreHD Heavy is the ultimate upgrade from its predecessor, packed with groundbreaking features that make it a true revolution in underwater vision. Boasting a brand new backside illuminated (BSI) sensor that uses Sony's STARVIS technology, this camera offers unmatched low light performance and dynamic range. The new military-grade aluminum alloy casing provides incredible resistance to galvanic corrosion, while the sapphire crystal front element adds durability and scratch resistance. This, in combination with our patent pending technology, offers an extreme depth rating of 1000 meters to 2000 meters.

The exploreHD Heavy is designed to take on advanced computer vision applications, bridging the gap between autonomy and underwater robots. And when paired with our DWE OS software, the possibilities are endless!

But that's not all - the exploreHD Heavy and DWE OS software work seamlessly together, allowing for advanced multi-stream capabilities of up to 7 cameras at the same time with low latency and bandwidth. Say goodbye to limitations and hello to endless possibilities!

CORE FEATURES

Close-up of the DeepWater Exploration exploreHD Heavy subsea camera, showcasing its 1000m depth-rated, dark gray hard-anodized naval-grade aluminum housing and domed scratch-resistant sapphire lens port. Ideal for reliable HD video on ROVs and AUVs in demanding underwater environments.

Aerospace Grade Aluminum Alloy

The exploreHD Heavy's housing is is precision-machined from a high-strength aluminum alloy, providing superior corrosion resistance and structural durability. Ideal for long-term subsea operations, it ensures reliable performance at depths up to 1000m.

The DeepWater Exploration exploreHD Heavy/Pro subsea camera Printed Circuit Board (PCB), showcasing the central 1/2.8” Sony Exmor™ STARVIS CMOS image sensor enabling 1080p HD video and H.264/MJPEG compression. This critical component drives the high-resolution imaging for ROV and AUV operations.

BSI Sensor for Low-Light Performance

The exploreHD Heavy is equipped with an advanced backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor, designed to maximize light sensitivity for superior low-light imaging and enhanced dynamic range. This next-generation upgrade, combined with a redesigned camera PCB, ensures clearer details, reduced noise, and improved visibility in deep-sea environments.
