Systems combines state-of-the-art materials, electronics, optics, and hydrodynamics. "Plug and play" technology allows users to quickly attach sensors and accessories in the field so they can complete their mis- sion. VideoRays have been deployed all over the world — from the warm, clear, calm waters of the Caribbean to hostile environments in the Arctic.

VideoRays have been used in water too polluted for humans and in many places too confined or dangerous for divers to enter.

Tough materials-acrylic domes, anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and Kevlar — used in the VideoRay ensure it will withstand repeated and extended use.
