Underwater Camera Leak Detector, Alarm, and Vacuum Systems

Are you ready to upgrade your camera security? Backscatter is your expect source for underwater camera leak detectors, moisture alarms, and vacuum check systems. A simple leak detector or moisture alarm will flash a LED light when two contacts inside your camera housing come in contact with water. However, the best security is with an underwater camera vacuum pump system. A hand pump is used to pull a vacuum on your underwater camera prior to the dive and thus will alert you to issues before you even jump in the water. Please contact our expert staff to discuss which system is best for your underwater camera housing.
