A customer case

The Dacon Snapper with the LYYN Hawk™ control panel integrated into the control unit (lower right corner).

Dacon AS was contacted by Fugro-Geoteam AS with a request for a new camera system for the inspection of in-sea equipment for seismic investigation. Dacon has earlier designed similar systems for Fugro but with other specifications.  This time the requirement was a system for 12 VDC, both battery and external power. They also wanted the units to have higher recording abilities but smaller in size.

The solution is based on a Sanyo zoom lens camera, an LCD monitor and a new type of Li-Ion battery. It is also equipped with integrated LYYN Hawk Board™ for real-time image enhancement and an Archos 605 (40GB) recording unit. Dacon managed to fit the whole system into two small Peli cases, and with a capacity of over 3 hours of battery time.

Fugro-Geoteam AS is very happy with their new cameras.
