BRAINERD, Minn., July 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Since Nature Vision Inc. introduced the first underwater viewing system, viewing has largely remained an individual experience. Aqua-Vu's Digital Video Recording (DVR) technology changes that forever by incorporating built-in digital video storage. This technological edge allows viewers to record and store their underwater discoveries for sharing with friends and family.
This ability to record underwater viewing experiences provides entertainment and learning. Aside from their recreational viewing, serious anglers will use Aqua-Vu DVR technology to create video logs of their favorite fishing grounds in hopes of learning repeatable fishing patterns.
The new Aqua-Vu DVR is available both as a separate handheld unit that connects to any current Aqua-Vu camera, and as an integrated Aqua-Vu DVR / viewing system. This unit, the Aqua-Vu DVR, comes complete with Nature Vision's patent-pending "fish camera" (with 100 feet of aramid-core cable), infrared lighting for viewing in low-light conditions, battery and charger, and a handsome protective case/sunshield.
With 16 MB of on-board memory, Aqua-Vu's DVR systems also utilize removable San Disk media cards (not included) that allow the user to increase the amount of video storage capacity.
The new Aqua-Vu DVR viewing system (model AV-DVR) retails for $469.99 USD, while the Handheld DVR is available at $99.99. Both models are in stores as of spring 2006.
Even if the "big one" gets away, you can have recorded proof that she exists, thanks to the Aqua-Vu DVR! To view incredible DVR underwater footage, see http://www.aquavu.com/ . Website visitors can also enter the new Aqua-Vu Underwater Video Contest to win great Aqua-Vu gear, and watch as their footage is showcased on the redesigned Aqua-Vu website.
