Description
This camera module integrates the Unitree SV1-25 binocular vision system into a fully sealed subsea housing, making the Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera suitable for developers and system integrators with advanced vision processing needs. The rigid aluminum shell and dual-dome acrylic lens assembly provide a durable optical interface while protecting the sensitive sensor components from high-pressure marine environments.
Output is handled through a hybrid shielded USB cable based on the 4-conductor purple Deep-Sea Shielded Data & Power Cable (BS-SSC-SHDCB-PRP-04A1), with defined power and data lines for connection to embedded computing platforms such as Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi, or industrial controllers. The included underwater cable extends approximately 800 mm and is terminated internally for water ingress protection, though the tail gland penetrator is not removable without specialized tools.
As this is a development-oriented product, the Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera requires use of the Unitree SDK for video access and integration. While video feed viewing can be established via the SDK, calibration must be performed underwater to compensate for optical distortion caused by water refraction and the dome interface. Distortion and slight edge occlusion are inherent to the ultra-wide fisheye lens design and dome construction and should be accounted for in image processing pipelines.
The housing includes multiple threaded mounting options (2 × 1/4" ports and 4 × M3 threaded holes) for secure attachment to ROV frames, gimbals, or fixed mounts. With its low power requirement and wide-angle stereo vision capability, the Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera is well-suited to vision-based navigation, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and 3D perception in subsea environments.
Cable Penetrator Compatibility – For 4-Conductor Purple Shielded Cable Used in the Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera
The Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera uses the 4-conductor purple version of the Deep-Sea Shielded Data & Power Cable (BS-SSC-SHDCB-PRP-04A1), with 2 × 22AWG power conductors and 1 twisted pair of 24AWG data conductors. The table below provides guidance on compatible penetrators and gland cable penetrators that work with this cable. Use this reference when selecting a watertight feedthrough option for Blu-Sub acrylic enclosure tubes, Blu-Sub aluminum enclosure tubes, Blu-Sub watertight box enclosures, junction boxes, or custom camera housing installations.
Cable Penetrator Options
Sold Separately
Note: A compatible cable penetrator is required to waterproof and secure the cable connection to your enclosure. This product uses the 4-conductor purple version of the Deep-Sea Shielded Data & Power Cable, with 2 × 22AWG power conductors and 1 twisted pair of 24AWG data conductors. Choose a penetrator below that matches your depth and housing requirements.
Blu-Sub offers several cable penetrator options that can be used with this shielded subsea cable, depending on the required depth rating, sealing method, and enclosure design:
Deep-Sea Cable Penetrators – Potted cable penetrators for high-pressure subsea pass-throughs. This camera cable is compatible with the M10×1 size. Depth Rating: Up to 1,000m / 3,281ft
Deep-Sea M10 Gland Cable Penetrators – Threaded M10 gland penetrators with compression sealing for modular housing use and added cable strain relief. This camera cable is compatible with the 7.8 × 5.6 aluminum and stainless steel versions. Depth Rating: Up to 1,000m / 3,281ft
Low-Depth M10 Gland Cable Penetrators – Compact gland penetrators for shallow water, low-pressure, or cost-sensitive systems. This camera cable is compatible with the 7.8 × 5.6 copper version. Depth Rating: Up to 100m / 328ft
Waterproofing performance depends on the selected penetrator, potting or gland installation method, enclosure design, installation quality, and the lowest-rated component in the finished assembly.

About the Cable:
This product uses the 4-conductor purple version of the Deep-Sea Shielded Data & Power Cable, a hybrid subsea cable with 2 × 22AWG power conductors and 1 twisted pair of 24AWG data conductors. For modular or extended installations, several compatible connection options are available:
Deep-Sea Cable Connectors – Female Socket & Male Plug
Inline plug-and-socket connectors that allow the Deep-Sea Shielded Data & Power Cable to be terminated with sealed ends for removable, watertight device connections. Connector pin count should be checked carefully to confirm compatibility with the required power and data conductors.
Deep-Sea Cable Connectors – M10 Bulkhead
Panel-mounted connector designed to interface with enclosure walls or end-caps. Requires a matching plug to form a sealed removable connection.
Deep-Sea Cable Connectors – Dummy Sealing Cap
Protects unused cable connectors during storage, transport, or inactive operation by sealing off exposed ends against water ingress.
Subsea M10 Coupling Tube
Enables secure inline splicing of two cable segments using penetrators and potting compound. Also useful for modular cable routing or relocating penetrator-mounted components to more accessible positions.
Compatible Shielded Cable
The Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera uses the 4-conductor purple version of the Deep-Sea Shielded Data & Power Cable, with 2 × 22AWG power conductors and 1 twisted pair of 24AWG data conductors.
This hybrid shielded cable routes camera power and USB data through a single subsea cable assembly. Its twisted-pair shielded data conductors help support underwater signal transmission for compact subsea camera and vision-system integrations.
For custom cable lengths, enclosure integration, or service planning, cable termination and waterproofing should be completed using compatible penetrators, connectors, or potting methods suitable for the intended depth and housing design.

- Blu-Sub does not offer post-purchase coordination or technical support for the Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera.
Can I directly view the video feed by connecting to a computer?
No. A software development kit (SDK) is required to access and view the video feed from the Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera. Direct plug-and-play viewing is not supported.
Can the SDK be used immediately for development?
Yes. The SDK allows immediate access to the video stream for development purposes. However, if you intend to apply image processing or computer vision algorithms, those may need to be recalibrated for underwater use due to the distortion and refraction introduced by water when using the Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera.
What cable is used with this camera?
The Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera uses the 4-conductor purple version of the Deep-Sea Shielded Data & Power Cable, with 2 × 22AWG power conductors and 1 twisted pair of 24AWG data conductors for hybrid power and USB data transmission.
Can the tail gland penetrator be removed?
No. The gland penetrator is factory-installed and requires specialized tools for removal. Unauthorized disassembly may compromise sealing performance and waterproof integrity of the Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera.
How should I interpret the 220° field of view?
The 220° specification refers to the ultra-wide-angle fisheye lens coverage in air. It is wide enough to capture portions of the scene behind the lens’s equator, offering exceptional situational awareness with the Blu-Vision Fish-Eye Binocular Video Camera.
