Thunderboaters.
Does anyone here use any kind of surveillance camera either in, or on, their boats? I'm looking for a recording video camera, as low 12V power consumption as possible, to put in a porthole looking out the side of our boat.

watcha Loafer ...... I have used one in the past (in fact still have all the gear but not low power consumption, the stuff I had was all commercial stuff and fairly power hungry) what about the loop recording car technology stuff ??

I don't know much about it but do you need full time recording or movement sensing ?
Is it because of bad things or is it for wildlife ?

I think the dash-cam idea is the best one, unless you need it to activate only with movement in the picture.

Another possibility is a wildlife camera. Most are battery operated, though, which may or may not be a problem.

Normally a Hudson is pretty robust. I had to shave a millimetre off a door edge to get it to close again, but no distortion to the hull. There's a dink in the gunwale top edge, is all, like a hammer blow. She's definitely robust! Half my tools were on the floor. If we'd been on board we'd definitely have shat ourselves. Hope you two are well.
