THE BIG PICTURE! Take your camera projects up a gear with this 12-megapixel sensor. The Obscape High Quality Camera represents a leap forward in quality, clarity, and definition. The instrument is ideally suited for long-term visual monitoring of gradually evolving processes, such as beach and river morphology, littering of surface waters or construction works. Its wireless nature and compact housing allows for easy deployment in remote as well as urban environments. Compared to our existing Time-Lapse Camera models, the incredible High Quality (HQ) Camera module offers a higher resolution (12 megapixels, compared to 5 megapixels) and the ability to record image bursts of up to 10 images at a user-defined framerate. Especially when the time-lapse imagery is used as input for operational computer vision algorithms, the superior image quality of the HQ Camera is to be preferred. Forward facing option also available Up to 12.3MP image quality Downward & forward-looking options available Completely wireless Solar powered Image bursts at user-defined framerate Real-time data up to 4G Multiple mounting options Versatile data portal included FLEXIBLE AND VERSATILE Most measurement systems will either collect continuous point measurements (e.g. a pressure sensor) or sporadic spatial measurements (e.g. a GPS survey). The former do not reveal spatial variability, while the latter do not reveal fine-grained temporal variability of the observed environment. Time-Lapse cameras are your ideal partner to fill those gaps and achieve dense coverage of spatial and temporal dynamics, allowing you to keep a close watch on everything that happens in your area of interest. The operational 10 to 60-minute interval of the HQ Time-Lapse Camera allows for monitoring of processes that gradually evolve on timescales of 10 minutes and up. Examples of such processes include sediment dynamics in rivers, on beaches and in dune areas, construction works, traffic intensity, parking lot occupancy or cloud formation. The ability of the device to collect image bursts at a known framerate yields a whole range of additional applications, such as velocity estimation of cars or water surfaces. The downward-looking version of the HQ Time-Lapse Camera was developed particularly for monitoring debris/litter on water surfaces when mounted on a bridge deck. Paired with automatic litter detection software, the camera will keep a close watch on pollution rates of the river surface over time. COMPLETELY WIRELESS The HQ Time-Lapse Camera is completely wireless. Power is supplied through built-in solar panels, while images are transmitted in real-time using a 4G cellular connection. Therefore, the HQ Camera is easy to install at any desired location within cellular coverage. There is no need to worry about access to mains power or the internet. Its wireless nature makes the camera very suitable for remote monitoring of: surface water debris, construction projects, protected wildlife, port vessel movements, coastal

VERSATILE DATA PORTAL The value of real-time observations strongly depends on the ability to view and analyse them in real-time. Therefore, the HQ Camera comes with a free license for the Obscape Data Portal. The real-time images taken by your camera, as well as the data from any other Obscape device you own, are collected into the Data Portal. The Data Portal offers various options for viewing, managing, and downloading your images, including the creation of time-lapse movies. When used with the Data Portal’s forwarding options, the customer’s image recognition software can be used to...
