The Black Box Video system has been designed to provide a robust video and data capture platform for use within fisheries for compliance, stock assessment, and research monitoring purposes. The system is built around flexibility to enable it to be set-up and configured to be tailored to meet the specific goals of different monitoring strategies, fisheries and individual vessel requirements.
The Black Box Video system functions in an “always on” capacity, ready to start the capture of the video when fishing activity commences until it is completed.
The Black Box Video system has been designed to function continuously without requiring interaction from the fishermen. The system however also offers numerous features for configuring its functions depending upon individual vessel's needs.
The Black Box Video system aligns with industry standards, such as European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) technical guidelines and International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) minimum standards.
Black Box system includes wide connectivity options with 2x RS-232/422/485, 8x DI, 4x DO, 4x USB3.0, multiple Gigabit PoE ports, and optional 2x Isolated CAN-Bus/N2K ports. Through the system’s digital connectivity, various sensors can be added based on the monitoring needs of individual fisheries. Here is an example list of several commonly supported sensors:
More sensors can be easily fitted to accommodate vessel or monitoring needs. Additionally, numerous CAN sensors can be linked together and connected to a single port on the control unit. Hence, theoretically, the system can support an infinite number of sensors.
