Anemo footage

Marine life, measured continuously

Cameras that record day and night for months, AI that finds and counts the fish, and marine biologists who turn the footage into evidence.

02 · Why long-term

The sea doesn't keep office hours

A camera that stays down for months sees all of it.

How Anemo started

Anemo started in 2023, out of a DTU project that filmed a Spanish port with 25 GoPros. The footage piled up faster than anyone could watch it. So we built cameras that stay down for months, and AI that finds the animals in every clip.

03 · What we do

One system, from the seabed to the report

Use the full system, or only the hardware or software you need. AnemoHub also works with footage from BRUVs, ROVs and existing archives.

04 · Step 1 of 5

Your question sets the protocol

What does the record have to show?

Two cameras per lander at least, and more if the budget allows
  • A more representative picture of the site, and stronger statistics
  • More footage to fine-tune your model
  • If one camera fails, the other keeps recording

AnemoAI turns footage into detections

Every box is a detection with time, camera, confidence and a species label, so every figure traces back to the footage and can be checked.

Annex · FAQ

Common questions, short answers

For anything not answered here, write to ruben@anemorobotics.com.

The cameras
What is the difference between AnemoCam and AnemoLive?

The same stereo camera unit, powered two ways. AnemoCam runs on a battery pack and records on its own for months, where there is no power or cable. AnemoLive is powered and connected by cable from a box on shore and streams live; we recommend up to 100 m of cable.

How long can an AnemoCam stay underwater?

About 3 to 12 months on the standard battery, depending on how often it records (by default, a 30-second clip every 30 minutes). A larger battery pack lasts longer, and the battery and storage canister can be swapped underwater while the camera stays in place. The Battery and protocol designer works it out for your protocol.

How deep can the cameras go?

Both are rated to 100 m.

Can you measure fish, not only count them?

Yes. Both cameras record 4K stereo video through two lenses calibrated at the factory, so the same footage gives each fish a length and, from it, biomass. Length and biomass shows how.

What keeps the lens clean?

A motorised wiper, standard on both cameras, cleans the lens before every clip. On the Billion Oyster Project in New York, the footage was still clear after six months in the water.

In the water
How is a camera deployed?

The camera is small and light: one person can deploy it from a small vessel. Some landers need a vessel with a crane to lower them safely. We can design the lander for your site and help on the day.

How many cameras do we need?

At least two per lander. To show what a structure changes, add a matched control site. Chapter 04 shows three designs we have run, from one lander to five along a transect.

Does it work in murky water?

It needs workable visibility. Visibility changes from day to day, and a camera that stays down for months records the clear days as well as the turbid ones.

Does it record at night?

Yes, with lights: one or two per camera, 1,500 lumens each, as an option. We recommend mounting them offset from the lens, so they light the animals rather than the particles in front of the camera; each offset light has its own wiper.

Regulators and QA
Will the regulator accept a new method?

Video is already accepted for epibiota and hard-substrate work (StUK4, where the habitat is heterogeneous). For fish it is supplementary, a best-fit method and never a requirement. We can run a validation study with you, on your footage.

How does it pass QA?

Side by side, on your footage, with you designing the test. If the result is not better than doing it by hand, you have lost an hour.

The AI
How accurate is the AI?

80 to 85% is typical, and an expert validates the results. We benchmark it on your own footage before you commit, so you see the number for your site.

Which animals can it detect?

Fish and other mobile animals, such as crabs, come first. Models are fine-tuned on footage from your site. There is no model yet for marine growth such as kelp or coral health.

How do you avoid counting the same fish twice?

Abundance is reported as MaxN: the highest number of individuals of a species seen in a single frame, confirmed by the same or a higher count in the next frame. A fish circling the camera counts once.

Can you analyse footage from other cameras?

Yes. AnemoHub also works with footage from BRUVs, ROVs and existing archives. Send us an hour of it and we will benchmark the AI on it.

Can our own team run the analysis?

Yes, in AnemoHub: label footage, train a model and check what it finds, with no coding. The model your team trains is yours to download. Or our marine biologists do it for you, with AnemoReport.

Results and data
What do we get at the end?

With AnemoReport, a hosted, interactive report on the measures in chapter 08, from abundance and diversity to habitat use, behaviour and heatmaps, in the format your regulator needs. With AnemoHub, an overview in the app and a data export.

What happens to our data?

Your footage and your results stay yours. A trained model belongs to the team that trained it, and you can download it. AnemoHub and our own models are licensed to you for the project. Footage and results come as standard MP4 files and exports. We never train our models on your footage unless you say yes in the order.

Can we share the footage with the public?

Yes. AnemoLive streams the site live, hosted by us or on your own servers, and weekly highlights from the site are included, ready for newsletters and posts.

Budget and buying
How does it fit in a budget?

Four ways. As a partner in an innovation or nature-inclusive programme you are putting together; SeaMe and Ecowende started this way. In the monitoring plan: written into the scoping response, the monitoring plan or the COP appendix before it is approved, it runs for the life of the consent. Through your environmental consultant, who holds the monitoring contract and takes cameras, AI and reporting as a line inside it. And if you are the consultant, as a line item on your own invoice.

Will it cut into the hours we bill?

No. We displace the annotation queue, not the ecologist. You interpret, QA and report at full charge-out, and you take scope you currently have to decline. Price it against a senior ecologist's September, not against a camera.

Can we lease instead of buying?

AnemoCam can be bought or leased. AnemoLive is leased; we recommend at least six months.

What does it cost?

It depends on the setup. Build yours in Request a quote and we will send you a written quote.
