Remote camera viewing

ReeferDave01 · Mar 16, 2017

I travel a lot and have aquarium fully automated for water changes, ato, feeder etc. However I want to add a video camera by my sump to monitor water level. With water changes and ato, and sump waste removal water height does fluctuate by maybe half an inch or so over few days. I want to be able to remotely see what water height is and if needed run a manual adjustment through apex to add bit more rodi or salt water or remove water. So question is.. What good wifi video camera would you recommend? It doesn't need to have apex integration as long as I can view remotely. Also need wide angle, low light capability and it will only be about 9 inches away from sump so it needs to have close proximity focus lens.

I like the nest cams, they work.

I am addicted to my Amcrest IP2M-841 ProHD 1080P (1920TVL) Wireless WiFi IP Camera.

Works on iPhone and iPad over LTE. $82.99 Amazon Prime.
Super easy to set up. D/l the app, use the phone camera to register the camera into the app.
Has night vision, rotation, tilt, zoom.
I'm not sure about its minimum focus level.
