CCROV can go up to 100 metres into the ocean and the prototype is being used to expore underwater life as well as detect wrecks
As researchers continue exploring the wonders of space and understanding the vastness of the universe, scientists, too, have tried exploring the unknowns of Earth. When filmmaker James Cameron explored the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana trench, he went up to 10,898 meters deep into the ocean – still the most a human has reached the bottom of the ocean.
Although this is marvellous accomplishment, one thing scientists have lamented is the unavailability of a high end camera to shoot 4K images and videos. Currently most underwater drones or robots use HD (720P) or 1080P cameras using remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs). ROVs are common in deep water industries and although they can’t go as deep as Cameron’s Deep Sea Challenger, they can go up to 200 feet into the ocean and capture some hi quality images.
CCROV (CC standing for See the Sea and pronounced KROV) has a 4K camera and is mainly used to shoot underwater images and videos. It can dive up to 100 meters (328 feet) deep, and will stream live HD video on your phone or tablet. The CCROV can be used for further exploration such as dive site inspection, wildlife surveillance, wreck detection, general adventure aid and so on.
Developed by Henry He and his team, the CCROV’s electronic components are placed in an aluminium alloy sealed compartment that can resist high water pressure. This compartment is embedded in military grade syntactic foam that not only provides stability but also avoids corrrosion from sea water.
The CCROV has a professional tether deployment system that allows an easy packing and transportation. The battery, according to He, is removable and can be replaced while it's charging (90 minutes for a full charge) for an uninterrupted use of your CCROV. The tether’s length ranges from 20 meters to 100 meters, and no matter the length, this system makes it easy to manage.
