Archived Underwater Video

This site is host for a combination of streaming and archived video, fish movement and water temperature data from various BRAVO nodes.  Node 1 is located on the Grand River near Kitchener, Ontario and streams live underwater video from cameras in the river bed along with temperature and telemetry data from radio-tagged fish.  Node 2 is located inside a Denil fishway approximately 5 km upstream from Node 1.  Node 3 (currently online), Node 4 and Node 5 are being prepared and tested for deployment in 2008 (test broadcast currently online at Node 3 and Node 4).

Streamed video data are live and unedited.  Our multiplexers switch between cameras at preset rates.  We also use motion detection software to filter periods of inactivity during the day and at night.  We use motion detection filters to collect interesting data or observations related to specific research projects and many of these videos are available for viewing online (BRAVO ARCHIVE).  These videos are particularly useful for our long-term research objectives related to inter-annual variation in fish migration patterns, migration timing and habitat utilization.  The system has also been proven to be useful for monitoring benthic organisms such as mussels, crayfish, diving ducks, turtles and a wide range of fish and aquatic invertebrate species.
