It's normal to have a camera for watching backwards when reversing.
I would also want a camera under the car, to see what's happening there while driving.
It should be waterproof for crossing rivers etc, and of course shockproof.
Does anyone know about such a camera?
Preferably possible to conect to a PC to record what's happening to.

Hi,

maybe a little bit oversized but the best for such purpose is GoPro

I don't think GoPro will be able to show what's going on under the car in realtime, only recording film for moviemaking.
If the river I'll cross is deep and difficult, a camera under the water ould be helpfull.

I would try one of these cheap snake cameras, available for tube and pipe endoscopy. They come with USB and some meters cable directly attached. They are submersible, which the most action cams are not (just splashproof). Since these snake cams are intended for narrow tubes, they do not have wide angle optics. So consider using two of them, in front of each wheel, our four (two for reversing).

But nevertheless, I would not expect best picture quality when fording a mountain river, which is often whitewater and not very clear. And as a rule of thumb from diving in lakes: only the first diver has clear view...
