Does anyone know of a reasonably priced (under $1000) underwater IP camera?

I don't know why but I have this desire to be able to watch my goldfish swimming around in my backyard pond.

Maybe it's just the challenge of being able to accomplish it.

I have power nearby or could do POE.

 

Has anyone done anything like this?

There was this company that Cisco bought and apparantly ran into the dirt called Flip. They made an underwater enclosure for it that I've used with my Flip camera that would probably work if you stuck a WiFi camera of the same shape like an Axis M1011-W or AVTech AV812. Of course the wire for power may create a leak so you may want to check that first, maybe caulk around that area. At least the power cord on these camera is very thin compared to an Ethernet cord for PoE.

Also, there's these plastic bags you put a camera in that have a lens that the camera can see out off. Seems more of temporary solution for a vacation shot rather than the more permanent looking Flip enclosure.
