The ocean holds many a mysterious thing as many of us have marveled the mystique of the deep sea while scuba diving in Hawaii or snorkeling in Australia.  History has shown that exploration of our glorious seas have provided us with some of the most beautiful creatures known to man as well as given us food on our tables.  Not only is there animal life underneath the surface, but man goes deep in the heart of the ocean to excavate sources that power our world and lives.

     Offshore oil platforms were first constructed in 1897 at the end of a wharf in California thus producing the first of what is now known as the “oilmen”.  From this time, oil prospectors pushed farther out into the ocean on piers and artificial islands before the first mobile oil platform was introduced in 1928.  Today, oilrigs are truly gigantic structures rivaling some small cities in size and housing 100s of people.  Jobs are created in these “communities” as depths creep deeper every year thus creating the need for humans to cohabitate on these structures.  To erect these rigs, vigorous man-hours are worked to build these to be sturdy and secure and connected to the ocean floors.  Cameras that are capable of envisioning such a task, (as well as powerful enough to maintain its integrity due to the depths it must go) are needed and such manufactures as KT&C are continually contributing such devices.

     KT&C prides itself on exceptional cameras and electronics and the miniature KNC-HDi47 is no exception.  Excellent for the underwater oil rigging applications and many others, their benchmark camera KNC-HDi47 provides many features such as a 2.43 Megapixel, 1/2.8” Sony Exmore CMOS sensor worthy enough of viewing underwater in low light (0.1 lux) conditions.  This camera is available with a  3.7mm (3MP) board lens or an 8mm (1.3MP) lens.  All of these great features come inside this tiny 51.5 x 47.5 x 35mm housing.

     Now available through Aegis Electronic Group, Inc. and appropriate for many applications requiring great views from a small package!  Call our sales team with any questions regarding this or any of our other great cameras and as always – visit us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/IndustrialCameras as well as Tweet and follow us on Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/AegisElectronic.
