So I remember a few years back, it was hard to find a camera that had a good image for remote viewing your tank when you're away. However, I know technology in those cameras has come a long way since then. What cameras are you guys using now? Which ones are good for clear enjoyable viewing of your tank when away from home?

Wife got me a Blink system for Christmas. Seems to work well so far and setting it up was simple and straight forward. The only neg point I can say, if it's one at all, is it streams the video for ten seconds then a window pops up asking if you want to continue.

I went with the Amazon Blink ones as well, no the best quality but I use it more to check in that all is okay than to actually look at fish and coral! :)

I have seen people using the Arlo cameras; even in the sump as they have good resolution and high viewing angle

Wyze v3., normal or pan cam. Cheap, no subscription, no (present) worry about privacy issues (looking at you Amazon).

I use NEST for outdoors and they are a good option but you an get more bang for your buck with other cameras for your tank. You don't need a NEST level camera is what I'm saying.

I also use nest for outdoors.

I just purchased a blink camera. Seems like a good bang for the buck. Thanks!

I got the blink today (Amazon has same day delivery)

Its a nice little camera, but I can hardly see my tank.

I mainly wanted a camera to watch my tank when I’m on travels for a long time. I tend to get home sick and watching my tank makes me feel better.

My tank has 14K lighting; nothing too blue, but it isn’t looking great.

Any suggestions?
