Hi @Aaron19 -
Can you share what USB to ethernet adapter you’re trying to use? What type of cable are you trying to use- Cat5, Cat6, or Fathom tether?
Simply plugging a USB low-light camera into a USB to ethernet adapter is not going to work… you need a computer (a Pi 4 does this in the BlueROV2) to convert the USB camera stream to a TCP/IP format to send along the ethernet connection…
Pictures of your setup would be great to share!

Hi @Aaron19 -
Are you using a very short ethernet cable from this device to a Fathom-X? If using a long ethernet cable, I suspect the link is USB1.1 speeds as noted, and so the camera does not function…
