FAQs
What is an Aqua-Vu underwater camera system?
Aqua-Vu underwater camera systems allow anglers and underwater enthusiasts to see beneath the surface in real time. Aqua-Vu helps users locate fish faster, understand fish behavior, and fine-tune presentations for a more productive fishing experience.
What makes Aqua-Vu different from other underwater cameras?
Aqua-Vu cameras are purpose-built for fishing and designed for use on boats, docks, and ice fishing setups. Features include high-definition video, adjustable lighting, portable designs, and real-time underwater viewing. Unlike many underwater cameras that simply record footage to internal storage or an SD card, Aqua-Vu systems provide a live underwater view as you fish.
How do I choose the right Aqua-Vu system?
The best system depends on how and where you fish.
- For stationary boat fishing or compact portability, the Micro Series is a great option.
- For ice fishing and larger screen viewing, the HD Series systems are recommended.

- The Micro Revolution 5.0 HD offers up to 8 hours of continuous use.
- The AV822 HD offers up to 10 hours of operation on a single charge.
Actual battery life may vary depending on temperature, brightness settings, and recording use.
Can Aqua-Vu cameras be used in saltwater?
Yes. Aqua-Vu® systems are designed for both freshwater and saltwater use. After using your system in saltwater, we recommend rinsing the camera, cable, and components with fresh distilled water and drying them thoroughly.
Which Aqua-Vu systems offer recording?
The AV822 HD features built-in recording capabilities, allowing users to capture video footage and still images directly from the underwater camera feed.
Are Aqua-Vu systems waterproof?
Yes. Aqua-Vu camera systems are built for wet fishing environments.
- Display screens are rated IP67 for protection against rain and splashing water.
- Cameras and cables are waterproof to depths ranging from 60 to 125 feet, depending on the model.
What is the best way to use an Aqua-Vu camera from a boat?
For the best underwater visibility, use your Aqua-Vu® while the boat is stopped or moving slowly. Manually deploy the camera and control the cable by hand to position the camera where you want to view underwater activity.
Can Aqua-Vu cameras be used at night?
Aqua-Vu systems perform best during daylight or in clear water conditions with available light. While some systems include infrared lighting, underwater visibility at night or in extremely dark conditions will be limited.
What warranty comes with an Aqua-Vu system?
All Aqua-Vu camera systems include a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. We recommend registering your product after purchase to simplify future warranty support and service.
