Wireless camera

Gp! · Oct 13, 2021

Sitting in the hospital made me think to look for a wireless cameras to allow remote tank viewing.

Then I noticed you don't sell them!

You should probably add wireless cameras for the apex at some point that offer hassle free integration into the apex dashboard.

It would be nice if you offered one for diagnostic purposes that maybe didn't have the fanciest tech (i.e. low resolution etc) but could be used to view equipment states. And another one with the best resolution and optical quality that was for viewing the tank.

But please, nitrate/phosphate autotester first :)

I think we can all agree that camera integration with Apex Fusion is less than easy. While I don't think it's crucial that reefers have their camera integrated with Fusion, it'll probably be something we'll look into in the future. It's all about prioritizing all of the fun new projects :)

In the meantime, the Wyze cameras are really affordable and work great for viewing tanks when you're away from home.

We hope you're back feeling 100% soon!

Agree! Good to put on the list of to dos. I have a Wyze camera and don't like it. While it's easy to set up, the tank looks way too blue. Currently looking for something else.

Have you tried just using a yellow / brown transparent film or camera lens filter? I don't have a Wyze but I know that technique is popular for normal photography and may work for the Wyze.
