I'm curious if anyone has tried building a camera system like an aquavu. It seems like it would be pretty straight forward. It would just be a submersible security camera hooked up to a monitor and battery. Just curious if anyone attempted this.

camera equipped Baby Monitor at garage sale.  homemade Plexiglas box with one side regular glass glued together.  On a 10 foot poll

Worked great till trolling motor prop got it and it sprung a leak!

You can get one for 100 bucks ready to use. Prob not worth your trouble to rig it.

From what I was reading, the ones for 100 bucks are garbage. For a 100 I think I could build one with a high quality submersible cctv camera with multiple ir leds providing I can find a used 5" tv to use as a monitor. Could probably do it even cheaper if I built my own waterproof housing for the camera.

Hum....  That poster 2 up from this one did just that.  Garage sale camera for 20 bucks, The camera came with a small TV/monitor. Both the camera/TV were both AC and DC ready.  Lights were taken out of some old instrument panels at work that were being thrown in the trash.

""Prob not worth your trouble to rig it. ""

I didn't rig it up because I'm cheap, I just like to build stuff out others trash/garbage.  

Old Saying........

One mans trash is another mans treasure

Not my two cents but I'll pick em up ;D
