Real-time ROV video, augmented

See what the ROV sees —
plus everything around it

Seavid puts depth, heading, sonar feedback and navigation data directly on top of the live ROV video stream — at resolutions up to 2× 4K simultaneously, with the ultra-low latency you need to actually fly the vehicle, not just watch it.

Seavid turns a live ROV camera feed into the operator's full situational picture

Built for maritime ROV work — underwater inspections, net inspections and remote operations — where the operator needs video and operational context in a single glance, at high resolution, with no perceptible delay.

🎯

One view, full context

Static and dynamic data overlay directly on the live video stream — depth, heading, sonar, navigation and control values, exactly when the operator needs them.

⚡

Low-latency by design

Designed for situations where every fraction of a second matters — flying the ROV, reacting to a finding, or coordinating between deck and operator.

🎬

Recorded for review

The video stream is recorded with overlay information attached, so inspections, findings and operational results can be reviewed and documented after the fact.

Capabilities

Built around what an
ROV operator actually needs

From a single live RTSP feed to dual-camera setups with AI-driven detection, Seavid is designed to fit how ROV operations are actually run.

📺
Real-time video overlay
Operational data is rendered directly on top of the live ROV video, so the operator sees the picture and the numbers in one place.
⚡
Ultra-low latency, even at 4K
High resolution and low latency at the same time — a combination most setups force you to choose between. When an operator is steering or reacting, delay isn't acceptable.
📐
Static & dynamic data
Combine fixed labels and live operational values on the same view — for consistent, repeatable documentation across operations.
📏
Depth & heading
Show depth and heading right on the live video so the operator never has to look away from the picture to check the basics.
📡
Sonar feedback display
Where sonar feedback is available, it can be brought into the operational overlay alongside the camera image.
🧭
Navigation data
Navigation values from connected sources can be overlaid in the live view to support situational awareness.
🎛️
Control data
Relevant control values from the ROV setup can be displayed live, so the operator stays oriented at all times.
⏺️
Recording with overlay
The video is recorded together with overlay information, so footage can be reviewed later with the same context the operator had on the day.
🎥
Up to 2× 4K simultaneously
Single- or dual-camera setups, with both channels running at full 4K simultaneously — and clear Left/Right labelling in merged views.
🤖
AI detection interface
Seavid is being developed as a display target for AI-detected objects — for example net holes — with position and size shown live alongside the video.
🔌
Analogue inputs supported
Works with modern IP cameras and older analogue ROV equipment — analogue sources come in via capture cards, so existing kit doesn't have to be replaced.
🗂️
Documentation-ready output
Recorded video with overlay data forms a clear visual record of the operation — useful for follow-up, technical review and inspection evidence.
Use cases

From the deck to the office, in real time

Seavid is built around live ROV operations — but the recorded output continues to deliver value long after the vehicle is back on deck.

01
On vessel
Operator flies the ROV with full context
Live video and overlaid operational data appear together, so the operator never has to choose between watching the picture and reading the instruments.
02
On vessel
Underwater inspection is recorded
During an inspection the video and its overlay are recorded together — so the operation can be reviewed or documented exactly as it was seen.
03
Vessel → Office
Office reviews the footage
Inspection footage captured during field work is reviewed by office or technical staff to support follow-up actions and reporting.
04
Onshore
Remote operator monitors from shore
In remote-operation setups, the live video and operational context arrive at the onshore station — so ROV work can be monitored or controlled without being on the vessel.
05
Field
AI flags a possible net hole
An AI inference application analyses the incoming video and reports detections — for example a possible net hole — back to the display, so the operator sees the finding in operational context.

Integrations

Plugs into the equipment
you already operate

Seavid is designed around standard interfaces — RTSP for video, structured data inputs for operational context, and a clean API/UDP path for detected objects.

ROV cameras (RTSP or analogue)
In Live video from one or two channels — up to 2× 4K simultaneously. Analogue sources are supported via capture cards.
Sensor & operational data
In Depth, heading, sonar feedback, navigation and control values.
AI inference application
In/Out Incoming video can be analysed; detected objects flow back to the display.
Existing display system
In Position, size and Left/Right channel labels can be received for visual display.
UDP data output
Out Detected objects can be transmitted over UDP, with channel labels in dual-camera setups.
FAQ

Questions ROV teams usually ask

What is Seavid?

Seavid is Bluesystems software for live ROV video with operational context overlaid — depth, heading, sonar and navigation on the same picture you use to fly.

Why put data on the video?

Pilots should not have to split attention between the video feed and separate instrument screens. Overlays keep critical state in the same view.

What latency and resolution does it target?

Ultra-low latency for piloting (not only monitoring), with dual-channel / up to 2× 4K class streaming as described on this page.

Does Seavid include AI detection?

The product interface is built to show AI-detected objects such as net holes; detection models and rollout depend on the deployment.

Where are short product facts?

See product facts for a citable summary of Seavid and related Bluesystems products.
