Everything you need in one compact unit

HYDRA 360 is the fish health and feeding camera that provides all the data you need from the pen - both today and in the future. Featuring seven camera lenses for 360-degree video coverage, integrated sonar with full-pen visibility, and five built-in environmental sensors, HYDRA 360 combines multiple critical functions in one compact solution. The result is fewer devices in the pen, simpler operations, and access to more data through a single integrated system. Self-cleaning technology on the camera lenses and sensors, combined with specially treated surfaces that reduce biofouling, ensures stable measurements and high-quality data over time. This means less maintenance, fewer operational interruptions, and continuous collection of critical information - even in challenging conditions.

360-degree view

With a total of seven dedicated camera lenses facing forward, backward, upward, and downward, HYDRA 360 provides true 360-degree video coverage of fish behavior and activity throughout the pen. This gives you greater situational awareness, enhanced monitoring capabilities, and the ability to observe fish from multiple angles simultaneously - all from a single compact unit, without the need to move or reposition it. Powered by AI and advanced image processing, HYDRA 360 enables multiple users to view different camera perspectives at the same time, making it easier to monitor operations, assess fish behavior, and collaborate more effectively.

Integrated sonar provides full-pen visibility

By combining video and sonar in a single compact unit, HYDRA 360 provides complete visibility across the entire pane - even in conditions of high turbidity or limited visibility. While the cameras deliver detailed close-range observations, the integrated sonar extends visibility far beyond the cameras’ range, enabling monitoring of the entire pen volume. You are no longer limited to observing only the fish swimming directly in front of the camera. Instead, you gain a broader and more comprehensive understanding of fish distribution, behavior, and movement patterns throughout the pen. The extended range and enhanced insights provided by the sonar also make it easier to optimize the placement of lice treatment lasers, feeding systems, and other equipment, helping improve operational efficiency and performance.

Pellet tracking and behavior analysis for smarter feeding

"Using camera imagery and AI, HYDRA 360 - together with our feeding solution - can track feed pellets and analyze fish behavior during feeding operations. Pellets are counted and monitored as they move through the water column, and when combined with behavioral analysis, the system can predict fish appetite ahead of time. These predictions enable feeding operators to act proactively based on data-driven insights, rather than making adjustments after the fact. The result is more precise feeding, reduced feed waste, and significant cost savings for producers."

All environmental sensors integrated

Modern aquaculture is about more than just seeing the fish—it is also about understanding the environment they live in. That is why HYDRA 360 is equipped with environmental sensors that measure turbidity, oxygen levels, salinity, depth, and temperature. By integrating these sensors into a single unit, the number of devices required in the pen can be reduced, while all critical environmental monitoring is consolidated into one compact and user-friendly solution. HYDRA 360 can also be expanded with additional sensors as monitoring requirements evolve over time. HYDRA 360 combines environmental data with real-time insights into fish welfare, behavior, biomass, feeding activity, and sea lice levels within a single platform. By bringing biological and environmental monitoring together in one system, you gain a more complete understanding of what is happening in the pen. This makes it easier to identify patterns, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and make better decisions based on the full picture - not just individual data points.

More data, less maintenance

Biofouling is a persistent challenge for equipment deployed in the ocean, and in submerged farming operations it can have a significant impact on performance and reliability. That is why we designed HYDRA 360 to be self-cleaning. The camera lenses and sensors are equipped with UV technology that helps keep critical surfaces clean at all times. In addition, the camera housing features a specialized coating that further reduces biofouling. The result is a system that can remain submerged for extended periods with minimal maintenance or cleaning requirements. For operators, this means less downtime, fewer maintenance interventions, and consistent collection of high-quality data over time.

HYDRA 360 enables smarter and more efficient collection of critical data—with less equipment in the cage, fewer installation challenges, and a system designed for everyday use in real-world farming conditions.
