Inspection camera

[Paul B]

I have one of those inspection camera's that have a 4' flexible probe on the camera that you can use to see what is blocking pipes, behind walls and all that. It is a very clear color camera so I tried it out in my reef tank. I pushed it all the way into the cave where my pair of pistol shrimp live with a watchman gobi. The shrimp were not impressed and attacked the camera. It is very cool and I can connect it to a phone or camera to record the movie. Of course, I don't know how to do that, but I may figure it out. I also checked out behind my rocks which I have never seen. Very cool.

I've been eyeballing those at the online dollar store for a while...

Where'd you get it or which model do you have? Have you been using with a computer or phone? (both?) Did you get software with it? Mac compatible? :)

A million questions!

The one I have has it own screen. It will record onto a memory card and you can view the video on the screen or on your computer. I bought it at Costco (seen them there this week) and I think it was around $100. This is the camera, but a lot more expensive than Costco was:

They've got an $80 listing too:

Seems like a nice idea!!

If your tank has been set up for a long time it would be a great tool to inspect your pipes. You's be surprised just how much grows in your pipes.

Home Depot, about $80.00

What a great idea! They have really came down in price over the last few years and the quality greatly improved..

That's why I bought it. They used to be very expensive.

Wish I had one back in the day, had my 55 piled to the brim of course with all the rock up against the back glass from one end to another :D after 13 years I'm sure there where all kind of fun things going on that I never saw, my new nano's rock scape is a U shaped archway that sits out in the center of my tank so I can see completely around it.. The little caves, nooks and cranny's are another story. Think I can convince my wife I need a scope for the kitchen remodel coming up this summer..lol
