So I'm looking at hooking up my fishing camera to my TV in my hut so i don't have to watch it on the little screen. Has anyone done this? I'm not sure what kind of cables or MacGyvering is necessary.
Thanks

I have a Marcum Pancam hooked to a 19" LED tv. The camera has a video port on it. One cable is all it needs. If I remember correctly, it is an RCA connector. There's nothing like seeing a large whitefish a couple feet in front of the camera, he looks like a monster.

you need to change where the yellow connector goes to. factory connection is camera to screen, along with the black connector. so what you need is to:
1. disconnect the yellow connector
2. get a RCA cable single wire (most of them have 3 wires: 1 video, 2 audio), something like this: amazon
3. one end of the new cable goes into the female yellow connector, the other end into TV (yellow port)
normally this should be it, unless you have a TV without RCA connectors, in which case you will need an RCA to HDMI adapter, something like this: amazon

this is all theory, i didn;t do it myself, but it should work. i have an eyoyo as well and that box is annoying af for not opening more.

one concern would be the resolution supported by your tv. this camera's signal is 800x600 and not all TVs can do it. try it at home first. tv should not explode if it cannot do it. hopefully

Thanks a lot for the response! That sounds in theory like it should work for sure! I’ll give it a shot this weekend. Doing another sleepover so I’ll have the genny out and tv hooked up. Thanks again!
