Underwater Video Camera and above water too

[Chris-Chicago]

My pond is done (2000 gallons) and preparing to stock with Koi

I have seen websites where people have found security video cameras that were water proof enough and with wide angle lenses that you could view your KOI. Anyone had any luck identifying specific brands and models of cameras that work submerged a few inches to 1-2 feet?

I'd like to combine it with a basic security camera system with the house, which would also support remote viewing when I am traveling.

Anyone with a success story to share?

It appears that a camera compliant to IP68 Standards would be waterproof enough for a Koi Pond. Some appear to cost under $200. I am going to do some more research, and if I buy something I will post results.

I have a GoPro (original Hero) with a waterproof case. Works great!

I also use a GoPro for filming while underwater, problem might be plugging it in, and keeping it charged. The battery lasts only a couple hours then needs recharging.
And the one I have, needs to be removed from the water proof case to be recharged.
