Hello all!

Has anyone found a good camera (Video) that does not wash out with the blue lights of the tank? I have tried Ring and Blink and both look horrible when the lights kick on.

TIA!
 
I used an amazon camera that was like 30 bucks stuck to the side of the tank that was wifi. It was blue but you could tell what was going on can always try getting an orange lens to put over it?
 
Even with expensive cameras you will need orange filters because the harsh LED lights with a heavy blue spectrum will mess with the sensor. There are fairly cheap orange filters available online for different use cases (e.g. to put in front of your smartphone camera, for DSLR cameras, etc. You basically just need some translucent yellow/orange material and you are good to go.
