The Black Box Lite system has been designed to bridge the gap between our Black Box Sensor system and our full remote electronic monitoring system the Black Box Video. The Black Box Lite system has been designed with modularity and flexibility at its core. These design choices enable it to be applicable to numerous different use-cases primarily within the small scale fisheries industry.
The Black Box Lite system is capable of supporting two Power Over Ethernet cameras directly from its control unit. Its firmware supports the major features of the Black Box Video system, including its robust video recording strategy, camera configuration, remote connectivity, over the air updates and sensor support. While it has also been designed to be capable of being used as a sensor only solution, thus can be used as a direct replacement of the Black Box Sensor system.
As its name suggests, the Black Box Lite system has been designed with the smallest possible form factor. Measuring just 165(L) x 125(W) x 42(H) mm in size.
The passive cooling system design ensures a silent and durable system, with no need for noisy fans that expose the system to dust & dirt entering the hardware.
The Black Box Lite hardware has passed the certification process for all major markets (including FCC, CE and RCM).
The Black Box Lite has been under going extensive trials on vessels recently. While a wider roll out of systems will be commencing in the near future.
The development of the Black Box Lite's custom firmware has made significant progress. All essential features (robust recording strategy, camera configuration, sensor support, live view, automatic updates, plus many more) necessary prior to rolling the system out to our wider customer base has been completed. The implementation to support all major features of the Black Box Video system, is continuing and is expected to be completed in the near future.
