Analysis of equipment for remote visual control of autonomous vessel movement
The choice of a video camera for the equipment of vessels of the unmanned type is one of the most difficult and responsible tasks in the process of selecting equipment as a whole, because without an established organization of video surveillance, it is not possible to manage such vessels. That is why it is so important to choose high-quality and suitable equipment for remote visual control of the movement of an autonomous vessel. This article is devoted to the review of video equipment by the method of detailed analysis. The paper analyzes all the features of video equipment, including video surveillance systems, IP-cameras, analog cameras, considers possible types of connection of cameras to the system, as well as possible options for recording quality and its modes. In addition, the most important characteristics that are key when choosing video equipment have been identified, as well as the optimal camera option has been selected for installation on an unmanned vessel for viewing and monitoring the environment and ensuring the safety of navigation of autonomous type vessels in compliance with all the requirements and rules of world navigation. In this article, the choice was made in favor of IP-cameras because of the most suitable general characteristics of such cameras.
