Camera on tank?

[ckuhny3]

Does anybody have a camera to view your tank on your phone? I put up a Blink camera and holy cow is the picture bad with the blue lights . Any better recommendations that have an app to view while away from home ?

I keep a Kasa camera in my living pointed at the tank from across the room. It’s just the lower resolution version so the quality is pretty bad but the color isn’t too bad with the blue light.

Attach a cheap orange/yellow filter on top of the camera lenses, it'll block some of the blue light and will improve visibility.

I actually have some big orange flipper filters maybe I can try to tape it to the camera some how !

I have one and as stated above put a strip of orange filter over it and your problem is solved. Here's a screenshot, lights just came on so they're all 100% blue.

I use two Wyze cameras. One under the tank to watch the sump/equipment and another on a shelf looking at the tank.
Yes, a cheap orange filter clipped to the camera fixes any blue issues.

I might have missed it but what camera is that?

I had an ice cap reef cam it was great for when I was away and could not see the tank ran off an app that was years ago probably a better one now
