A floating monitoring apparatus comprising: a base; a first flotation device attached to the base and located generally below the base, the flotation device configured to float on a surface of water; a light support member extending downward from the base, and configured to be at least partially below the surface of water; a camera attached to the base and configured to be aimed to capture images of a target below the base, where the camera is generally kept above the surface of the water; a light source attached to the light support member, and configured to direct light to illuminate the target, the lights located below the surface of the water. A floating monitoring system comprising: a volume of water; a base, configured to be located generally above the surface of the volume of water; a first flotation device attached to the base and located generally below the base, the flotation device configured to float on the surface of water; a light support member extending downward from the base, and configured to be at least partially below the surface of water; a camera attached to the base and configured to be aimed to capture images of a target below the base, where the camera is generally kept above the surface of the water; a light source attached to the light support member, and configured to direct light to illuminate the target, the lights located below the surface of the water; a rod, with a first end and a second end, the first end of the rod rotatably attached to the base; a structure located outside of the volume of water, the second end of the rod rotatably attached to the structure. A monitoring apparatus comprising: a base configured to sit on top of a jar; a first side extending downwardly from the base, and configured to be located on the outside of the jar; a second side extending downwardly from the base, and configured to be located on the outside of the jar; a third side extending downwardly from the base, and configured to be located on the outside of the jar; a camera housing located on the first side; a camera located in the camera housing, the camera configured to view a target located inside the jar; a light source located on the second side, the light source configured to illuminate a target inside the jar; where the light source and camera are configured such that light emanating from the light source is generally orthogonal to a field of view of the camera. |
