Product Information

The Ocean Reef CCD Micro Camera with Housing (PAL) is a factory water-resistant underwater video camera built into a dedicated housing rated to 40 m, designed to connect to Ocean Reef's GAMMA-105 and GAMMA-ALPHA audio/video surface communication systems. It uses a 1/3" Super HAD CCD sensor with 380 TV lines of resolution and a 3.6 mm lens, and it is sold both as a standalone accessory and bundled with the GAMMA systems. This is the PAL video format version, identified by Ocean Reef product code OR008574.

Who it is for

This camera is for dive operators, instructors and surface support teams running an Ocean Reef GAMMA-105 or GAMMA-ALPHA surface communication unit who need a reliable underwater video feed topside. It suits training, commercial, public safety and research dive operations where a surface crew needs to watch a diver's work in real time through a PAL-format video signal.

Key details

1/3" Super HAD CCD sensor with 380 TV lines of resolution
Minimum illumination of 0.3 lux for low-light underwater conditions
3.6 mm lens
Underwater housing rated to a depth of 40 m
4-pin rubber connector, diver-disconnectable for emergency use only
PAL video format (this SKU, OR008574); an NTSC version is also published under code OR008573

Compatibility and sizing

The camera and housing are built to work with the Ocean Reef GAMMA-105 and GAMMA-ALPHA audio/video surface units and connect through an Ocean Reef camera cable, such as the 50 m camera cable referenced for the GAMMA-105 system. Confirm your surface unit's video format (PAL versus NTSC) before ordering, since the camera's output must match the display and recording equipment on the surface side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the PAL and NTSC versions of this camera?

The difference is the video output format: this listing (OR008574) outputs PAL, while Ocean Reef also publishes an NTSC version under code OR008573. Choose the format that matches your GAMMA-105 or GAMMA-ALPHA surface unit's display and recording equipment, since PAL and NTSC signals are not interchangeable.

What surface systems does this camera work with?

This camera and housing are built to connect with Ocean Reef's GAMMA-105 and GAMMA-ALPHA audio/video surface communication units through an Ocean Reef camera cable, such as the 50 m camera cable referenced for the GAMMA-105 system. It is sold both as a standalone accessory and bundled within those surface systems.

How deep can this camera be used?

The underwater housing is rated to a depth of 40 m, which is the stated operating depth for the camera when installed in its factory housing. The camera itself is water resistant, with the housing providing the depth protection.

Can the camera be disconnected underwater?

Yes, the camera connects via a 4-pin rubber connector that a diver can disconnect and reconnect. Ocean Reef specifies this disconnect feature for emergency use only, not for routine underwater operation.

Excellent wetsuit but will it crush quickly like other wetsuits?

I purchased a BARE 5mm Reactive wetsuit (open box), which was like new, to replace my 1.5 yr old BARE 5mm Velocity wetsuit which had collapsed to only 2.5mm after 3 diving trips (~100 dives). The Reactive wetsuit is well constructed and very flexible. I had to increase the size of the Reactive suit, as it was smaller than the BARE Velocity suit of the same size. Tremendous customer service by Dive Catalog to exchange the wetsuit for proper size. I hope the Reactive suit does not crush so quickly like my other wetsuits (BARE, Henderson, Pinnacle). Hoping that the new technology in this suit will keep me warm below the thermocline.

Perfectly Built

Best of the many many diver hangers in my life. Easily supports my steel-plated BCD, while still donned with all of my accessories. No cracks, bends, or dents. Has even supported my BCD w/ a steel 100 tank attached (not recommended, for safety purposes, though).

Will continue to use this hanger for the long-term. No brainer.

Go-to Dive Hanger

This is a must-have for every diver. It's the quintessential hanger for all dive gear in one small package.

DiveCatalog's "Quick Dry Multi Accessory Dive Gear Hanger for Boots, Gloves, Hood" is set at a great price for a great product. Versatile enough that I've purchased extra hangers to organize my BMX racing gear.

Must-have for divers and anyone looking to organize their adventurous outdoor activities equipment.

Solid Hanger w/ Tons of Options

Does it's job and then some. The added accessory arms gives you options for a multitude of storage solutions. Solid build, solid pricing, must have for owns of dive gear.
