ROS C series and SPECTATOR underwater camera system

The C-series and SPECTATOR underwater camera system form a complete underwater imaging solution from micro fixed focus to high-definition zoom, covering application needs from shallow water detection to 6000 meter deep sea exploration. This series of products adopts titanium alloy, aluminum or stainless steel shells, equipped with sapphire, BK-7 glass or acrylic windows, ensuring long-term stability and imaging clarity in high-pressure and corrosive underwater environments.

The series includes the C470 designed for extremely low light conditions, the C600 supporting HD/SD output, the advanced HD IP camera C1000, as well as the lightweight C200 and CEX-HD suitable for shallow water areas. All models support multiple control protocols and interfaces, making them easy to integrate into various ROVs, AUVs, and fixed monitoring platforms, making them an ideal choice for marine scientific research, engineering testing, and environmental monitoring.
