PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a large problem in a conventional system that it is difficult to arrange a camera in water in case that an underwater camera and a fishing device are integrated or that it is unsuited to a long throw even in a case that they are integrated, etc. since it uses a data transmission cable, though a system, where the underwater camera and the fishing device are integrated or not integrated, is already worked out.SOLUTION: A user can make a long throw by building a data recording electronic storage medium in the camera body and providing fishing device mounting rings above and below the camera body thereby connecting it as it is to a conventional fishing device, without using a data transmission cable, and thus the user acquires video movie data around the fishing device at all times in the water. In the underwater video camera, the acquired video movie data can be transferred for check to a cellular phone or a portable information terminal at hand or a computer by wireless LAN or USB data transmission when pulling up the camera from under the water.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】釣りにおける水中カメラは、釣り仕掛けと一体もしくは、非一体のシステムが考案されていたが、データ送信ケーブルを用いているため、非一体の場合において水中でのカメラの配置が困難や、一体の場合でも遠投に不向き等大きな問題があった。【解決手段】本発明は、カメラ本体内にデータ記録用電子記憶媒体を内蔵し、カメラ本体上下に仕掛け取り付けリングを設けることで、データ送信用ケーブルを用いず、従来の釣り仕掛けにそのまま接続することで遠投が出来、常に水中で仕掛け周辺のビデオ動画データを取得する。そして取得したビデオ動画データは、カメラを水中より引き上げた時に、無線LANもしくは、USBデータ送信にて手持ちの携帯電話や携帯情報端末又は、コンピュータへ転送し確認が出来る水中ビデオカメラを提供する。【選択図】図4
