coax wire for underwater camera?

[rkpolaris]

a friend of mine had ice castle build a house for him, he wanted to be able to hook up an underwater camera to any hole and and display it on a tv, they ran coax wire, how do you plug the camera into that??

[rkpolaris]

anyone heard of this being done??

You can plug in the unit but I don't think you can just do the cameras, I'm not 100 sure though but the don't have that kind of ends on mine{aqua vu}

You would need a rca compression connector to put on the coax. Its easier and cheaper to run coax rather that rca cables

[Hawg]

But wouldn't you still need the whole unit in the equation somewhere? The conversions to video are in the unit aren't they? I bet if your tv had Bluetooth the MarCum pancam would be slick.?

If they ran Coax to every hole that is great, but you would still need the Complete camera system with the RCA Output to plug into. Then it would display on your TV in the House from where ever you hook it up.

Every underwater camera on the market (that I've come across so far) uses an RCA out if they have an output at all.

Ice Castle has their heads someplace ... unpleasant...

Seriously though, I would complain to them first. Ask them to show you one camera on the market that uses RCA...

If that goes nowhere, time to look into an adapter cable. Complete B S.

I have RCA outputs by my holes for camera hook ups.. but I don't have an Ice Castle either.

It's really pretty simple, just go to radio shack and get a $4.00 adapter. Do a search here for "underwater camera in wheel house" and you will see a picture I posted of the adapter you need. Like was mentioned, it is much much cheaper to run coax. You could also replace your wall plates with those that have an RCA to F adapter that you can buy at menards. That is what I used with coax in the walls.

ok thanks for the info, so it sounds like an adapter should take care of it
