Offshore Redesign of Camera Housing
DTBird systems have been operating in offshore environments since 2016, beginning with their installation on the FINO 1 platform in the North Sea. This experience has provided the company with valuable information about how camera housings behave under constant exposure to wind, salt spray, and humidity. As a result, DTBird has developed a new offshore camera housing redesign that offers improved resistance to corrosion and enhanced durability in marine conditions.
Improved protection for offshore environments
The new housing incorporates reinforced stainless-steel components, upgraded sealing materials, and a more robust internal layout. These improvements reduce the risk of moisture ingress and extend the operational life of the cameras. In addition, the new design helps maintain optical clarity by protecting critical elements from debris and continuous vibration, which are frequent challenges in offshore wind farms.
Engineering project adapted to each wind farm
For every offshore or floating wind farm, DTBird prepares a specific engineering project to determine the ideal camera location, viewing angle, and fixing method. This tailored process ensures correct detection performance and facilitates integration with both fixed and floating platforms. Whether the project uses monopiles, jackets, or floating structures, the new housing design improves stability and reduces maintenance requirements.
Benefits for upcoming offshore projects
New offshore installations will benefit from this redesign, especially in environments with extreme weather exposure. The upgraded housing will support long-term monitoring reliability, reduce downtime, and lower the frequency of on-site interventions. These improvements are aligned with the growing global demand for offshore wind farms, where robust monitoring systems help developers meet environmental requirements and safety standards.
