Fishing camera
The fishing camera is about thirty years old. It's a hunting camera waterproof and submersible fish. It has grown with the advancement of digital technology to monitor and discover what is happening underwater. The images are used to study fish varieties and their marine environment, their movements and their mode of consumption.
Camera fishing and history
The English were the pioneers of electronic fishing adopted in France in 1980. The electronic fishing rod is then equipped with an electronic key detector at its end to assist the fisherman. He throws the line and waits for the fish to bite the hook. Any abnormal voltage that may be a touch causes a light signal. So the fisherman would close and catch the fish.
Camera fishing and modern surveillance
Today, with progress, the detector becomes a fishing camera. It works like a HD hunting camera which leaves the cane to become a kind of waterproof sounder whose role is similar to that of a photographic trap. She is immersed in the water to film and capture the images. Visibility is often zero underwater, but the fishing camera was designed to film even in the dark as a infrared camera hunting. The images are recorded in the SD card. They will then be viewed on the screen of a computer or tablet. The fishing camera can be geo-located by GPS and have a GSM transmitter like a gsm hunting camera. The images received can be sent to a third party's smartphone remotely. The user examines the images to determine if the place is fishy and to see the fish species that live there. The same principles are applied for underwater hunting.
