Welcome to dweOS

dweOS is an optional, Linux-only, software interface designed to run on underwater systems like a Raspberry Pi, our Subsea Vision Computer and microSVC. It acts as a powerful companion to DeepWater Exploration cameras, extending their functionality and providing a seamless, out-of-the-box experience.

The main camera streaming page for dweOS

dweOS does not support RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) Streaming. We use a more direct form of streaming called RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol).RTSP acts as the “remote control” to set up the session (which often includes extra bloat and latency), while RTP handles the swift delivery of media packets, over UDP for minimum latency.

What’s new in dweOS?

dweOS represents a major leap forward, introducing features that dramatically enhance usability and capabilities:
  • Reliable Camera Enumeration: Thanks to Bus ID tracking, your cameras retain their specific settings even after a system reboot. No more guessing which port corresponds to which camera.
  • Built-in Terminal Access: Access the command line directly through the web interface for advanced configurations, without needing a separate SSH client.
  • Seamless PrecisionSync™: Out-of-the-box support for stellarHD leader/follower configurations, enabling effortless synchronization.
