Vexilar Underwater Cameras

See What's Below the Ice with Vexilar Fish-Scout Underwater Cameras

Vexilar has built its reputation as the industry leader in ice fishing sonar electronics, and its underwater camera lineup reflects that same commitment to purpose-built performance. The Fish-Scout series isn't a generic fishing camera slapped with a brand label — it's a thoughtfully engineered system designed around real ice-fishing scenarios, from hole-hopping on open ice to hosting a full crew in a hard-sided fish house.

The Fish-Scout Series: Two Systems, One Goal

Vexilar's Fish-Scout lineup centers on two distinct configurations, each optimized for a different style of fishing.

• Fish-Scout Predator (FS4000P): Built for the mobile angler. The Predator camera comes with a 5-inch high resolution LCD monitor for mobile use when fishing outside or hole hopping. It features a 1080P Sony HD camera with temperature (accurate to within 1°) and direction, plus 5 adjustable viewing angles, 2 LED and 2 IR lights, a built-in Li-polymer battery, and a 50 ft camera cable with 1-foot depth marks. A MiniSD card slot lets you save photos and record video directly to a memory card — handy for reviewing fish behavior or sharing your catch story.
• Fish-Scout Base Camp (FS3000BC): Designed for the hard-house angler who wants to share the view with the whole group. The 1080p Sony camera is HDMI compatible and uses a control box to connect to any TV monitor with an HDMI port, allowing everyone in the fish house to view what is going on beneath the ice in crystal-clear detail. With 5 adjustable camera viewing angles, 50 ft of camera cable, and 6 variable lighting options, every angler in your group can keep an eye on the action.

Fish-Scout 800 IR: A Proven Classic

For anglers who want a reliable, battle-tested system, Vexilar also offers the Fish-Scout 800 IR. The complete underwater viewing system consists of a color/black-and-white camera, a 7-inch color LCD monitor, a rugged carrying case with an enclosed 12 volt – 9 amp hour battery, a 1 amp digital charger, and a protective soft pack carrying case. The camera automatically switches between black-and-white and color depending on the lighting conditions — a practical feature when you're fishing stained water or early-morning low-light conditions.

Why Vexilar Underwater Cameras Stand Out

What separates Vexilar's underwater cameras from generic options on the market is their deep integration with how ice anglers actually fish. Every Fish-Scout system is engineered to complement Vexilar's sonar flashers — many anglers find that using a Vexilar flasher along with their Fish-Scout camera teaches you even more about what you're seeing on the sonar display. The cameras feature built-in temperature sensors, compass direction readouts, and adjustable over-hole suspension arms, so you're not just watching fish — you're understanding your environment.

Whether you're solo on a frozen lake with the compact Predator or settled into a fish house with the Base Camp system running on your big-screen TV, Vexilar has engineered a camera solution that fits the way you fish.
