OUSING
The OceanCam housing has been
specially designed and manufactured for
select IP cameras. Model OPT-06 has
been designed for a maximum working
depth of 180 feet. Other models are
available for greater working depths.
The housing uses a specially designed
greater than hemi-sphere glass dome that
allows for greater clarity and a harder
surface capable of being cleaned
underwater. A nylon sponge can be used
on the glass dome only as other surfaces
maybe scratched.
The housing features cable stress relief.
The housing uses pairs of circular o-rings
to insure a more reliable seal. The cylinder
is free of attached components and can be
completely removed exposing the camera
and components.
The housing has been specially
designed
to protect the electronics from small
amounts of water in the unlikely event of
an improperly seated o-ring.
NOTE: When underwater lighting (Section
5.1 or hydrophone (Section 5.2) is not
being used, plugs with o-rings may be
supplied. These have been tightened in the
factory and should not need any attention.
HAND TIGHTEN PLUGS ONLY!
DO NOT FLATTEN THE O-RING.

UBSYSTEMS
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) has the ability
to carry both data and power over a single
Cat5 cable. The underwater PoE connector
can be attached or removed underwater. A
stress relief sleeve is also used.

The system may employ a PoE power
supply (PoE injector). A standard Ethernet
Cat5 network cable connects to a local
area network (router) and then to the
Internet. For testing purposes, a F-F
connector and crossover cable may be
needed when connecting directly to a
computer without going through a network
router.
A 110/240 VAC power supply is
used to deliver 48 VDC to the
camera through the PoE cable.
A power converter/regulator inside the
camera converts to 12 VDC used by the
camera. The camera can also be powered
from 48 VDC batteries.
