<div dir="ltr">Brian, since my sub has no hatch window, I can not see when I am submerged. Also I can not see above the waterline once I am surfaced. To solve this I installed a automotive back-up camera. I used the type that has a cable, not the wireless. I put the camera in a housing and used the cable it comes with. The come with plenty of cable if you buy one for a bus. They are cheap and the picture is good enough for the purpose. They also have LED lights built in.</div><div dir="ltr">Hank</div><div><br clear="none"></div>

Since I'm such a long way from the bow of my boat I figure it might be a good idea to put a camera out there. I have my 10' x 28" dia cylinder which intersects my 5' diameter sphere where my batteries and electrical components for the motors reside, I think I'm going to put a 16" x 14.5" monitor at about 5' into the cylinder where the batteries start so I can still get to all the electronics, and then have a small form factor computer running for the cameras and navigation. Since the monitor and the computer would be relatively low power consumption I was going to run a dedicated inverter for those. I have plenty of ports available to run data cables thru , just not sure what to use, would that be a subcon item?</font></font></div><div style=""><font size="2" style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br clear="none"></font></font></div><div style=""><font size="2" style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Brian</font></font></div><div style=""><font size="2" style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br clear="none"></font></font></div><div style=""><font size="2" style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif"> </font><br clear="none"></font><br clear="none"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:</span><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">From: irox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></span><br clear="none"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org>, PSubs <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></span><br clear="none"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] camera considerations</span><br clear="none"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2020 20:39:16 -0700 (GMT-07:00)</span><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><div><div style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><div><br clear="none"></div>Hi Brian,<div><br clear="none"></div><div>what type of 'technology' are you thinking of putting in your sub?</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>You could do a composite video type camera with a rather simple display in the sub, or you do something</div><div>which was using Ethernet, and have a computer inside (laptop or built in computer) to connect to the camera and</div><div>display/record the camera image.
