A versatile boat deployed underwater camera system
Fishers versatile boat deployed underwater camera system that can be dropped or towed.
The TOV-2 Towed Video system (the next generation of JW Fishers popular towed video system) provides a cost effective method for underwater search and inspections. The system is deployed over the side of the vessel and lowered to the bottom. The TOV-2 uses the boat's propulsion to move it through the water in the tow configuration. The camera is mounted in the housing at a downward angle giving a field of view of 50 degrees. The system can also be suspended over the side of the vessel and used as a dropped camera. Large areas can be searched and recorded without incurring time consuming check-out dives. Topside the TOV-2 connects to a video monitor or standard TV. The real time video sent topside from the underwater camera can be viewed on a video monitor, a TV with a video input jack, or a computer equipped with a video capture card. The entire video of that favorite dive site or inspection job can easily be recorded on an external DVR (digital video recorder). The video can also be viewed and recorded on our VRM-1 video monitor and recorder.
