Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Hi
I am planing on building a ROV and I was wondering if this will be a good camera for it?

If not what would be?

It seems like it will be fine. According to the description of the camera, the worse that could happen is it could give you false colors of vegetation in low light conditions because of the infrared. At least it has infrared.

You'd have to build a housing for it. Other than that, the only problem I can see is that the infrared lights on the camera body might glare off of the clear part of your waterproof housing that the camera looks through.

I was already planing on building a housing out of PVC.I am planing on one like the light housing on the seafox retrofit but with 1/4 inch plexiglass for the window.

Yes, they work well and are fairly easy. I've built two of those so far.

I am building one for the lights now. I am planning on testing it in a week.
