The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration states on their website that the average depth of the ocean is approximately 14,000 ft with the deepest being 36,200 ft. Offshore drilling and rigging applications in these depths of the ocean require rigorous and innovative technology to solidify accurate images and video. Watec, the industry leader in miniature CCD camera technology, presents their outstanding high sensitivity monochrome camera, the
WAT-902H2 Ultimate, delivering 570TVL and providing minimum illumination of .0001 lux. This monochrome camera is ideally matched with the Tamron
12VG1040ASIR-SQ lens with auto iris control providing clarity and resolution near or at the ocean floor.
There are many concerns about the safety of offshore drilling and the potential of negative environmental impact, with this in mind drilling innovators are developing complex drilling apparatus that include camera systems. For many innovators, the WAT-902H2 has provided the imaging solutions due to its low lux. For more information of these and other applications for the WAT-902H2, please visit our website at
