01
Turbid-water imaging
The camera and its built-in lighting work together to bring out structures and objects when water is cloudy or light is limited.
Arden Perception · Underwater Vision
Turbid-water observation, carried by one diver.
A portable, diver-carried camera system for real-time close-range inspection in low-light, high-turbidity water. Deploy quickly, view the scene live, and keep a complete visual record of the mission.
Single-diver operation
One diver, one kit, one visual record.
Built for teams that need to inspect, document and review underwater conditions without assembling a multi-person setup.
The whole system travels with the diver.
Imaging, illumination, live view and recording are one carried unit. The diver enters the water, sees the scene as it is being recorded, and surfaces with the record already made — the integrated design is intended to cut rigging time and reduce the number of operators a visual survey needs.
Conventional visual survey
- Several operators, and separate equipment for viewing and recording.
- Detail reconstructed from memory and notes written after the dive.
- Repeat dives when the notes turn out to be incomplete.
With this kit
- One diver carries imaging, lighting, live view and recording.
- The record exists before the diver surfaces, with synchronised audio.
- No repeat dive to recover a detail the notes missed.
Core technology
A complete kit, ready for the water.
The integrated system combines underwater imaging, illumination, live viewing and recording in one portable field kit.
02
180° wide-angle field
A very wide view helps the diver cover more of the scene and reduces blind spots during a visual survey.
03
Stainless-steel probe
The underwater probe uses a stainless-steel housing and an IP68 protection rating for submerged operation.
04
Built-in LED lighting
Integrated LEDs support close-range observation of damaged embankments, corroded hulls and underwater obstacles.
05
Live view and recording
A 10-inch HD display supports live viewing, video recording, still-image capture and synchronised audio, kept for later review.
06
6–8 hour operation
A built-in high-capacity lithium battery supports 6–8 hours of continuous operation without an external power supply.
Field workflow
From deployment to a usable record.
All four steps are carried out by the diver in the water. Nothing has to be reconstructed on the surface.
Step 01
Deploy
Open the portable kit and enter the water with the integrated camera, light and display.
Step 02
Observe
Use live video and the wide field of view to inspect the target area in real time.
Step 03
Capture
Record video, take still images and keep synchronised audio notes when required.
Step 04
Review
Archive the mission record for condition review, acceptance, reporting or follow-up work.
Applications
Built around real underwater work.
Suitable for professional diving operations as well as specialist underwater observation.
01
Structural inspection
Inspect underwater structures, embankments and submerged assets while keeping a visual record.
02
Ship and hull checks
Review corrosion, damage and other close-range details on hulls and marine structures.
03
Engineering acceptance
Support underwater project acceptance with live observation and archived images or video.
04
Emergency response
Provide an immediately deployable visual tool for underwater search and emergency assessment.
05
Underwater archaeology
Document objects, structures and site conditions in a form that can be reviewed later.
06
Underwater photography
Give experienced divers a portable, better-documented way to observe and capture underwater scenes.
