REEFTANK LIVE CAMERA

CrackCorals · Nov 11, 2020

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has a camera on their tanks and what they are using. I use a zmodo because it adjusts to the blue light much better than the amazon blink camera.
Does anyone use an underwater camera?

How is this Zmodo? Can it be set up on the Apex? Is it easy to set up?

I'm using a nest cam and added a camera filter to it

How is that working for you and what does the video quality like?

We received someone else’s package from Amazon, and it was not traced to any account... so they told us to keep it. Luckily it didn’t explode but what was inside was mind blowing . A baby monitor lol so I set it up, poor quality but an easy way to track them. IMO all it needed was a filter, maybe a higher quality resolution. I wouldn’t pay for a overpriced “reef LIVE camera”. Don’t know what reef specific options there are also but either way definitely a great purchase

I use two small cameras. One to watch the room the tank is in, and the other on the side of the tank.

Total cost was like $50-$60, and they both use the same app.

Living room camera can be moved via the app, the tank camera is stationary.

Although we do use two of each type of camera. One in our barn, and one in our garage. I do not use them via my Apex because it’s easier to pull up the app and see all 4, and be able to move to them.
