Shopping For Underwater Video Cameras

[ERIEWRECKDIVER]

Well I have been spending a lot of time lately shopping for underwater video cameras. I have compared performance characteristics of all of the "Fishing Video Cameras". They all seem to be about the same. A camera with a 100' tether is running about $120.00 anywhere you go. Ebay, Amazon, etc.

Now there are complete systems with built in batteries and monitors, but it doubles and triples the price. But this doesn't make any since because with a $25.00 Video Capture USB device I can use a laptop. Or so they say????

I would appreciate comments and experiences from anyone.

Thanks,

Or you can use a IP webcam or security camera.

Looks like a great camera. Would have to put it into a watertight enclosure, but not impossible. Do you have any idea of it's cost?

Looks like a great camera. But for my first generation ROV, it blows my budget just on the camera. But I will keep it in mind. Let us know how it turns out for you.

Thanks.
