exploreHD 3.0 (400m) Underwater ROV/AUV USB General Vision Camera
Jan 2025: Please note that the mounting system design has been updated to omit the polymer shell – The bracket now integrates directly into the housing for superior frame alignment relative to the mounting surface.
Model/Part Number: DWE-EHDUSBR2
Standard Cable Length: 1 meter (for longer cable length, contact sales@dwe.ai for a quote)
This patent-pending, UVC-compliant camera is the first to feature HD USB output while achieving a waterproof rating of IP69K. Equipped with a modern Sony sensor and a proprietary 4-layer PCB, you will be able to see in low light conditions like never before.
Thanks to careful tuning and AI image processing, exploreHDs have exceptional color fidelity, producing pleasing, natural images. With integrated H.264 compression technology and our open-source camera driver, you can stream up to 7 cameras simultaneously without major quality loss or latency. You can even stream an unlimited number of cameras together, provided that the bitrate is appropriately reduced.
Furthermore, due to its UVC compliant nature, the exploreHD is the first plug and play machine vision capable subsea camera. This makes the exploreHD the perfect choice for anyone looking to make a truly modern multi-cam underwater setup.

Underwater Imaging Redefined
The exploreHD pairs advanced image processing with exceptional durability in an ultra-compact design. Consuming just 1.2W, it delivers high-resolution imaging without compromising efficiency or budgets — making it the ideal choice for any underwater operation.
Multistream Capabilities
The exploreHD's built-in H.264 compression enables seamless multi-camera streaming — supporting up to 7 cameras on a single-board computer like Raspberry Pi or Nvidia Jetson. With low-latency HD video and open-source software, it's designed for effortless integration into underwater systems.
DWE OS Plug and Play
Transform the exploreHD into a fully customizable IP camera with our plug-and-play software, DWE OS. Effortlessly adjust bitrate, compression, exposure, and more through an intuitive interface. With support for unlimited UDP camera streams and automatic port selection, DWE OS simplifies integration with no complex setup required.
High Depth Rating
The exploreHD features a rugged, anodized 6061-T6 aluminum housing, ensuring reliability down to 400m. Built for harsh environments, it's ideal for ROVs, AUVs, ASVs, and other subsea applications operating within the Photic zone.
Micro Dimensions, Enormous Possibilities
With its ultra-compact form factor, the exploreHD is built to fit where other cameras can't. Its lightweight build and low power draw minimize payload impact, freeing up space for additional sensors and mission-critical equipment.
Beyond underwater environments, its durable, corrosion-resistant housing also makes the exploreHD ideal for industrial aerial drones exposed to chemicals and harsh conditions.
Scratch Resistant Glass
The exploreHD's front lens element is crafted from durable quartz with a Mohs hardness of 7, providing exceptional scratch resistance against underwater debris and abrasive materials. Engineered to endure extreme environments, it withstands pressure exceeding 1,700 PSI, ensuring long-term optical clarity.
Advanced Image Processing
The exploreHD's advanced image processing, powered by AI-driven enhancements, delivers exceptional color accuracy and clarity in challenging underwater conditions. Optimized for subsea environments, it minimizes artifacts like aliasing and moiré while maintaining sharp details and a wide dynamic range.
Precision Optics
The exploreHD's optics are engineered for underwater clarity by minimizing distortion and vignetting — ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness for accurate data capture. This level of precision enhances imaging reliability for subsea inspections, scientific research, and autonomous operations.
