Abstract This paper presents, a real time-video streaming, position keeping Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). The research mainly focuses on real-time video streaming. The problems that ROV technology face is lagging of the real time video, the drifting of the ROV due to water currents, and low clarity of images due to absorption of colour of light by water. There have been many researches to solve these problems, many of them exceeding the price range of normal middle class and some even exceeding the upper class citizens' price range, only to be owned by governments and organizations. Each of these problems will be taken into account and solutions will be presented.
