Re: Underwater live streaming camera

Your apparatus would have to have two separate components, linked by a cable. Wireless transmission underwater is, how can I say it politely, difficult ? Assume for now that wireless transmission from underwater cannot work, then build a system with two components:

. an underwater webcam, or a regular webcam in an underwater housing. video and power linked by cable. Possibly use a POE (power over ethernet), and you'll have one cable connection

. an over-the-water system for power (solar, battery) and for transmission via cell tower or wifi.

I haven't stumbled yet on a manufacturer who did this, so you'll have to erect the set yourself. If you're handy, consider a raspberry pi as your core system.
