CT3022 HD Digital Stills Camera

Autonomous subsea digital stills camera for timed and externally triggered image capture

The CT3022 HD Digital Stills Camera is designed for autonomous and operator-controlled underwater image capture during subsea monitoring, research, survey, and inspection operations.

An integrated real-time clock provides a reliable timing source for scheduled image capture. During autonomous deployments, the camera can capture images at user-defined intervals and store them in its onboard memory. Power-optimised electronics make the camera suitable for battery-powered applications and extended subsea deployments.

Image capture can also be initiated using an external trigger when the camera is integrated into an active system. The supplied controller allows the operator to control the camera and capture images, while a live video feed provides a visual reference for positioning and image composition. Recorded files can be downloaded through a USB connection following deployment.

The camera can be paired with the C-Tecnics CT4015 Flashgun using the CE-60166 camera-to-flashgun link cable, providing synchronised illumination and automatic flash output adjustment for underwater stills photography.
