Matt Johnson Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 FISHPHONE WiFi Technology Changes the Underwater Camera Market Forever Minneapolis, MN. Vexilar, a marine electronics company for over 50 years is now launching a new generation of underwater camera technology that uses a powerful WiFi signal to send high quality video directly to your smart phone or tablet. The product is called FISHPHONE and is a blending of current Vexilar Fish Scout camera technology with an innovative new WiFi transmitting system. As the name implies, FISHPHONE turns your smart phone or tablet into a fully functional underwater camera monitor. Now anyone with a smart phone or tablet will get a high quality video image delivered right to the palm of your hand. Using WiFi signal technology to create its own “hotspot” that reaches out 300 feet in all directions, so you can share your video signal with as many friends as you like or keep it totally secure. You don’t need cell phone coverage to use it, the FISHPHONE works anywhere in the world. The FREE software App is downloaded from the App store and works with both Android and IOS systems. FISHPHONE is truly a break-out technology and the key is the speed and strength of the WiFi video signal, ” stated Tom Zenanko, Project Manager from Vexilar. “To be clear, this is not a WiFi repeater that requires you buy a fully functional underwater camera and monitor system, and that is what makes the FISHPHONE so great. Let’s face it; unless you are willing to pay big money, underwater camera quality is often a function of the monitor itself… Since most anglers already own and use a smart phone regularly, it was only a matter of time before we found more and creative ways to fully utilize smart phone and tablet technology. And best yet, you get a free neoprene armband to where when you are using your phone to keep your hands free.” FISHPHONE is a stand alone, fully functional, Smart Phone controlled system that allows you to record video or still images and easily send it off to your friends in an e-mail or text. The FISHPHONE comes with a unique holder and battery pack system that makes it easy to carry and manage 50 feet of cable. The portable FISHPHONE pack system can power your FISHPHONE for six hours between charging. The camera used in the FISHPHONE system is a Sony Color/ B&W camera that automatically shifts from color to black and white when light conditions are limited to increase contrast. There is little doubt underwater camera technology is getting lighter and more portable and with the FISHPHONE, Vexilar will be changing the way people look at underwater camera systems.
