Claxton MultiCam Subsea Cameras
MultiCam™ is a low cost camera system for fixing onto subsea structures to provide a vital visual aid during critical subsea installation operations.
Multiple cameras can be used to monitor stab guides and other key areas to ensure a safe and accurate installation and to verify that infrastructure has been successfully locked down.
Operations dictate it is often preferable to leave items subsea rather than to incur retrieval costs – Claxton designed Multicam™ to meet this need while maintaining the high visual performance associated with more expensive systems.

Claxton Ultra Low Light Subsea Camera
A state-of-the-art camera module provides visual clarity in nearly pitch-black conditions. The Claxton Ultra Low Light camera works effectively in conditions where lighting is poor or the sea is murky. Using a light source in water with a large amount of particulate material normally results in ‘bloom’ as the particles reflect the light – reducing visual performance. Our system negates this issue by eliminating the need for high powered lighting.
- Ideal for low-clarity waters
- Reliable performance for applications where silt is stirred up on the seabed
- Standard file formats for easy transfer
- Effective in light down to just 0.0003 lux
- Camera module rated to 3,000m
- Robust, easy operation control unit
- Fully field-proven components

Tritech Pan and Tilt 3626-C
Following the overwhelming success of the PT3636 Hydraulic Pan & Tilt Unit, Tritech have continued to improve the design characteristics offered and have released a new improved pan and tilt unit.
The Tritech PT3636-C Hydraulic Pan & Tilt Unit has been designed to eliminate a number of potential weak points that were identified on other hydraulic pan and tilt units. Designed to be rugged, compact and reliable the PT3636-C pan and tilt unit is the ideal solution for use on ROV’s, where the harsh working environment tests equipment reliability to the limit.
All hydraulic connections for the PT3636-C pan and tilt unit are located in the mounting base, which allows the unit to be installed using rigid rather than flexible piping. By using rigid piping the system offers reduced interference and smooth operation of underwater video cameras and lights, which in turn increases the efficiency and reliability of the pan and tilt unit.
The integral mounting bracket on the PT3636-C pan and tilt unit has been designed with practical slots for band clamps. This provides a simple method for mounting numerous combinations of different sized underwater video cameras and lights.
This stylishly designed compact hydraulic pan and tilt unit has been designed to work efficiently and reliably when mounted in a restricted area.
Tritech Super SeaSpy
The Tritech Super SeaSpy underwater video camera is a compact, high resolution, full colour camera with integral low voltage lighting.
Built to survive the harsh underwater inspection environment, the Super SeaSpy has been designed to be compact and rugged whilst providing high quality colour video. The Super SeaSpy incorporates a ring of white LEDs which provide uniform illumination over the field of view. The LED Engine utilises Dynamic Light Control (DLC) which automatically adjusts the lighting level to optimise video image quality, regardless of the reflectivity of work surface. This feature also helps enhance picture quality by reducing the amount of backscatter from suspended particles in the water column.
The Super SeaSpy is fitted with a water corrected lens system which optimises the picture quality by reducing radial distortion and reducing chromatic aberration.
