The Spotter Scout, currently in beta, extends the trusted Spotter Platform to deep water and remote locations with no mooring required. In this webinar, Shane Swiderek (Product Marketing, Sofar Ocean) and George Morton (CEO & Co-Founder, Online vOceans) walk through what Scout is, how it works, and what it looks like in practice.
What we covered:
- Overview of the Spotter Platform and how it's being used today
- Spotter Scout hardware, anatomy, and core specs
- How to operate Spotter Scout, including placing waypoints, setting loiter radiuses, and controlling the live camera
- Q&A covering wave data quality, station keeping, power management, sensor integration, and early customer use cases
