Electronic Monitoring
TECHNOLOGY TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF OUR OCEANS
Satlink designs and manufactures all the necessary tools to help governments, regulators, and industry players better manage the fishing activity.
Satlink possesses over 8 years of experience in the field of Electronic Monitoring, with on-board solutions tailored to a wide range of vessels types and sizes– from small scale coastal fisheries to deep sea commercial fisheries.
Having deployed more than 280 SeaTube systems in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, Satlink works with all stakeholders to achieve different monitoring objectives.
We look forward to becoming the partner of reference in the design and deployment of Electronic Monitoring solutions worldwide.
Satlink is a world leader in the design and manufacturing of IoT solutions, specialized in fisheries management.

CONTROL UNIT
The SeaTube control unit is the “brain” of the system. It powers all components of the system and manages the recording and storage of information (video and data). The core unit is normally connected through a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to the vessel’s power supply.

-HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERAS
SeaTube is designed to work with PoE cameras and supports up to 4 (Nano) or 8 (Nano+) cameras without additional hardware. These cameras can record video in a resolution of up to 2 MP (1920x1080) and offer the highest image quality on the EM market, even in dark environments.
The cameras are mounted with Satlink’s proprietary waterproof housing, making them the only ones on the market to achieve IP-68 (submersible) grade.

STORAGE
The SeaTube control unit has 2 (SeaTube Nano) or 4 (SeaTube Nano+) removable HDD/SSD hard drive bays (2.5” and 7 mm high).
All video, image, sensor and metadata recordings are stored on removable HDD/SSD for their later transmission. It can manage up to 4 SSDs of 8TB, storing data for periods of up to 1 year without any additional hardware.

CAM REPEATER
The SeaTube Cam Repeater unit is a portable computer that is installed on board the vessel with a web browser for watching camera-generated streams, as well as displaying system health status and sensor information in real time.
The SeaTube system allows as many Cam Repeaters on board as needed, enabling the captain to monitor on board operations.

SENSORS
Depending on its configuration, the SeaTube may include a sensor box along with several connected sensors.
The sensor box supports up to 8 analogue and 8 digital sensors. While more features can be added on demand, the system currently supports the following sensors: hydraulic, rotation, light, temperature, main haul door opening, crane scale.

CONNECTIVITY UNIT
SeaTube can relay the output data through any communications gateway, including:
- A satellite communications unit
- A GSM/4G router
- A VMS unit (type-approved)
- A Wi-Fi router
- Any pre-existing IP satcom device
All transmissions are made via secure protocols (HTTPS type).

GPS UNIT
The system includes an external GPS unit to retrieve position information and can use the connectivity unit to relay this data on shore, etc.
SeaTube accurately tags videos and updates the position watermark on the video periodically.

SATLINK VIEW MANAGER (SVM) SOFTWARE
Satlink has developed its own proprietary software to offer the best tool to thoroughly analyse data obtained from EM systems and generate reports.
The SVM provides all the necessary tools to review videos in a timely manner (i.e., speed and time filtering, synchronous camera player, sensor graphs, playback speed settings, etc.).
It includes several default fishing profiles to assist EM analysts while tagging footage and offers a measuring tool to analyse fish sizes.
Once the EM analyst work is completed, the SVM automatically generates reports in the different formats required by regulators.

FLEET MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Satlink has developed a web platform that allows regulators and fleet owners to efficiently manage their fishing operations in real time.
This is particularly useful for real-time compliance objectives (i.e., compliance with fishing closure periods or corporate codes of conduct).
This tool shows the position of each vessel in the fleet on a map and, if equipped with a broadband connectivity module, can display images at fixed intervals.

Machine Learning Tools
Satlink is a pioneer in the development of ML models for EM review, and has deployed several tested tools for purse seine and longline fisheries:
Longline fishery ML models
Satlink Setting-Hauling
Satlink Capture for catch detection (Specific report available on request)
Purse seine fisheries ML models
Satlink Brail Detector
