Engineered for submerged operation

With self-cleaning lenses, multiple sensors, compact size, and low weight - the Hammerhead camera is engineered for optimal performance in submerged pens and rough environments.
Lower maintenance requirements
Self-cleaning lenses reduce the need for maintenance, allowing Hammerhead to remain submerged in the pen for significantly longer periods.
Less equipment in the pen
With built-in sensors for depth, temperature, oxygen, and salinity, Hammerhead reduces the need for multiple units in the pen.
Simplified handling at the pen edge
Weighing just 10 kg, Hammerhead is the most compact option on the market, simplifying both handling and work at the pen edge.

Minimal maintenance requirements

The Hammerhead is built for use in submerged pens, where maintenance is costly and time-consuming. Its compact size simplifies installation, and with self-cleaning technology, the need for follow-up is minimal. This allows for the camera to stay submerged in the pen for significantly longer periods.

Reduces the need for additional equipment in the pen

Records water depth and temperature - with port for O2 and salinity

By integrating multiple sensors into a single unit, the overall amount of equipment in the pen can be reduced. With more measurements and data points available in the same system, it also becomes easier to see correlations between various factors that may impact fish welfare and production.

Handles rough and challenging conditions

With its compact and streamlined design, the Hammerhead is well suited for use in challenging environments and under difficult weather conditions. It is less affected by strong underwater currents and rough seas, remaining stable even in demanding conditions. This ensures optimal data collection and reliable monitoring of the fish at all times.

Captures over 12 images per second

In the pen, the Hammerhead captures over one million high-resolution images per day, equivalent to more than twelve images per second. The camera automatically sorts these images and sends the most relevant ones to the cloud, where they are analyzed using artificial intelligence and advanced machine learning to provide daily updates on lice counts, continuous weight estimates, and insights into fish welfare and behavior.

Longer operating time at sea with self-cleaning technology

The Hammerhead is self-cleaning and requires less maintenance than other cameras. The camera lenses and sensors are illuminated with a light that prevents growth and fouling. This technology reduces the need for frequent maintenance, allowing the Hammerhead to remain submerged in the pen for significantly longer periods.
