SMH! You mean I've got it backwards? Well, no wonder it itsn't working...! Actually, re-siliconed the cut portions and sealed the end of the inner wire, then tried it again using a bucket and voila! I got it to work (about 24" depth). Had to hold the ipad end tightly and at the very...

That's my idea, also. Though the youtube vid says to use waterproof tape to hold the coax to the waterproof housing, I used rubber bands instead as I wasn't sure exactly where I was going to end up putting the wire. From the vid, I can't see the tape or my rubber bands doing anything to help...

Yes, and I already asked, though I was thinking it might be the framerate and/or resolution that was the culprit (as in, my settings were higher than his), but he assured me it should work and the parameters did not matter. He tested the unit to 20m, so my simple 5m/15ft version shouldn't be an...

The problem is, on dry land, the signal will still get picked up by the ipad, regardless of if the coax is near or not to the camera case. If I'd gotten any hint of connection while underwater, then I could play around with the sensitive spots. I kept the dry-land-end loose and let it rove all...

Yes, no problem so far. Never really used wifi much before (I don't even own a cell phone) so to some degree, am learning as I go. I may have to do some surgery on the waterproof case if I can't get the hack to work. Figure I can always silicone shut the opening if I don't use it, though I'm...

Thanks for the help. Following the hack, I sealed the stripped inner wire as well as where I stripped it, too. That is, I don't believe the water is getting to the wire at all but will double check and add more glue as necessary. It would explain why I can't get the signal up through the...

Hello, I just purchased a used ipad2 as I thought it would serve to show me underwater footage of my pond via its wifi capabilities. I soon learned that I can't do this straight out but with a hack, it is possible. Using this method (coax cable attached near to the underwater casing of my...
