HQ Camera
The HQ Camera 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 makes the camera very suitable for remote monitoring of: surface water debris, construction projects, protected wildlife, port vessel movements, coastal erosion, etc.

Accuracy Performance
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.
