CatchCam
Underwater Camera System
CatchCam is a fit-for-purpose and robust underwater camera system for commercial and scientific vessels.
Designed to provide coloured visual evidence of underwater environments, CatchCam is ideal for collecting valuable data on species behaviour, gear interactions, and environmental conditions.
Applications
Commercial Fishing
The CatchCam camera gives fishers the ability to monitor gear performance, helping to reduce bycatch and improve catch efficiency. It provides crucial insights into how fish interact with gear, allowing for more sustainable practices and optimised operations.

Durability and Reliability
“I was skeptical at first, but the CatchCam proved to be very versatile and durable logging over 2500 videos. With some simple ingenuity we were able to mount it all over the dredge and its gear”

FAQs
For improved flexibility, we’ve developed the camera to be wireless. This means the videos are not live-streamed. As soon as it exits the water, the camera connects to the App and allows you to access all the footage recorded, without the need to detach it from the gear. This way, you can identify and fix any errors immediately after the 1st haul. The camera battery can last for up to 100 hours on one charge.
CatchCam was built to be deployable down to 800m underwater. That said, SafetyNet Technologies also offers a simpler version of the camera that is deployable down to 300m. Both versions come with an additional 500 lumens of light to enhance visibility underwater.
Tough enough to resist over 500 deployments attached to a scallop dredge. The CatchCam camera was created to be shock-resistant and easily thrive in the underwater environment. To add another layer of protection, the camera also comes with a Gear Attachment unit. This not only protects the camera but also makes the process of attaching it to the gear as easy as possible. So whether you plan on deploying CatchCam from a dredge, trawl or creel, we’ve got you covered.
