With my plans to eventually set up a porch pond, I had considered getting a camera setup underwater so I could broadcast it on Twitch or Facebook, etc. Looking around for my needs it seems to be tough to find EXACTLY what Im looking for. A GoPro isn't an option because I can't really set it up to run continuously with external power (at least that I'm aware of) so I'd be limited by battery life, and wi-fi (which isn't a deal breaker). I can find several products that claim to be "Waterproof" but I'm not sure that would mean the same thing as submersible as it seems to just indicate it's safe for weather conditions and it leads to mostly security cams or dash cams. The closest I've found is this model: Barlus Underwater Koi Pond Camera With my only issues being I'm not sure exactly how an IP camera works, and its a little pricey for my limited budget. Does anyone here have any experience with filming underwater? Ideally I can have a dedicated laptop set up pretty close to the porch pond (10-15' tops) so if I could just find a webcam that was submersible I think it would work. I don't need 1080p, but I do want at least 720p. Any tips would be awesome!

Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a semi-affordable underwater camera? I currently have a slightly old Sony Action Cam and it has very blurry picture underwater. (It's sort of like a GoPro.) I haven't been able to figure out a way to repair it and as far as I can tell it is a common problem with this camera model. I was thinking of making some YouTube videos and these grainy images are not gonna cut it even for a non-money making video. Any recommendations? You can see an example here, the beginning before it is submerged it is fairly clear. Then underwater it is all grainy. 😞 I tried strapping a flashlight on it too in case it was too dark and saw the same thing. FYI, the fish are gold medaka ricefish, a couple of guppies, and some cherry shrimp. It was such good video!... except its blurry. Haha
