OTT HydroSight – Video Analytics for Real-Time Water Flow Monitoring
Product Number: 2250000190
Overview
Overview
Ott HydroSight is a contactless video‑based monitoring solution for real‑time measurement of water level, surface velocity, and discharge in rivers and open channels. Installed safely beside the water, it uses advanced video analytics directly in the camera to deliver reliable, traceable flow data – even at challenging sites where traditional sensors are difficult or unsafe to deploy. Visual overlays and remote access enable continuous data validation, reduce site visits, and improve operational safety. With flexible camera options, low maintenance requirements, and global expert support, Ott HydroSight is ideal for flood monitoring and surface‑water applications.
Benefits
Cope With Challenging Site ConditionsHydroSight delivers reliable, contactless discharge monitoring across the entire river width – even where traditional sensors fail. Installed safely beside the water, it eliminates complex installation on bridges or arms and risky in-water setups – making monitoring simpler and smarter. It enables accurate and traceable data collection in complex or hazardous flow situations such as rocky beds, diverted channels, or sandbanks. Designed for minimal maintenance, OTT HydroSight combines intuitive usability for long-term efficiency and reliability in critical hydrological monitoring.
Visual ConfirmationOTT HydroSight provides time-series data on quantitative flow information and additional visual confirmation centralized on a single device and accessible remotely. Camera-based graphic overlays display velocity distribution and water level directly on the image, enabling remote validation, reducing manual interventions. This improves safety and builds confidence in your data and site status.
Proven ExpertiseHydrologists worldwide rely on OTT solutions for dependable water monitoring, with thousands of installations supporting flood warning and environmental management. Field experience shows that manual inspections, especially in extreme weather, increase safety risks and operating costs. OTT HydroSight tackles these challenges by combining image and video analysis with level and velocity monitoring, while seamlessly integrating with other OTT products for validation.
Service OfferingOTT HydroMet provides complete support for your monitoring site, including calibration, field installation, and ongoing guidance.
