Law Enforcement
Law Enforcement and Search and Rescue (SAR) organizations have quickly come to realize the benefits of the affordable, portable, and reliable VideoRay ROV as an effective underwater search tool. The VideoRay has been proven in drowning victim location and recovery operations, underwater crime scene investigations and evidence recovery.
With the addition of low visibity VideoRay accessories such as the BlueView ProViewer High Definition Imaging Sonar, positioning solutions such as the Tritech MicronNav and KCF Smart Tether positioning systems, and the real time video enhancement integration from LYYN, the VideoRay becomes an extremely potent underwater investigation tool.
