Overview

The NexSens EWC environmental web camera offers
live-view, time-lapse, and time-video-clip modes with
real-time cellular communication. EWC cameras are
watertight and able to operate in extreme environments.
The internal settings allow users to balance resolution
and bandwidth to maximize image quality and cellular
responsiveness and are adjustable via the embedded Wi-
Fi or cellular telemetry with a web link. The EWC can be
powered by any 12VDC source, including a direct connec-
tion with a NexSens CB-series buoy battery or SP-series
power pack. The camera accepts sensor measurements
from NexSens X2 data loggers and can transmit this in-
formation along with imagery to the WQData LIVE cloud
datacenter.
