Camera must be high definition (not IP) with a resolution of at least 1080p/50fps and be suitable for identifying marine organisms to species level both via video and still frames (extracted from the video following data collection). The cable needs to be capable of operating at survey depths of ~90 metres with a maximum cable length of around ~250 metres. The video files must be stored in an easily accessible format e.g., MP4. Ideally, the camera would have integrated lasers for distance/size calibration, or at least compatible external lasers that can be controlled topside. Lights also need to be controlled topside. ## CPV classification Video equipment Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/5505c851-bf94-4bdd-b772-e3ca5e286bca) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
