SubC Imaging has released a new software update for its Rayfin camera family, with all models—Benthic, Coastal, and Micro—now supporting both internal storage and topside data transfer.
The latest update is designed to give users more control over how data is captured and stored depending on the deployment. This enhancement applies to standalone cameras and full SubC systems featuring Rayfin technology.
Whether using the camera on its own or as part of a complete inspection or observation solution, operators now have more ways to capture and manage data efficiently.
Multiple Storage Methods for Specific Mission Requirements
Different workflows require different storage setups. Autonomous deployments often rely on internal storage, where footage is saved onboard for later retrieval. ROV inspections and other live operations benefit from real-time topside transfer, allowing for immediate viewing, control, and documentation.
With this update, Rayfin cameras can do both. Depending on requirements, operators can record internally or transfer footage topside in real time—all from the same camera.
All three Rayfin camera models now support both internal and topside storage options via the updated Rayfin software, including:
- Rayfin Micro – Rated to 500m depth. Ideal for live inspections and surveys using compact subsea systems.
- Rayfin Coastal – Rated to 500m depth. Purpose-built for drop and tow camera systems in coastal and shelf environments.
- Rayfin Benthic – Rated to 6000m depth. Suited for deepwater surveys, observatories, and autonomous or battery-powered deployments.
With SubC Imaging developing both the cameras and the software that powers them, the company can deliver updated features without relying on third-party tools or additional equipment.
The latest update is a result of SubC’s fully integrated hardware and software approach.
Adam Rowe, VP of Software at SubC Imaging, commented, “Because we design both the hardware and software in-house, we can deliver updates like this without added complexity. It’s all about giving our users more flexibility—without more gear or setup.”
