I got a friend who put me on to these. He uses them to monitor his tanks when he's away. They have great picture quality and you can scan the room or whatever you are looking for.

Cool. But, it’s like a security camera. Although awesome ultimately you just end up with footage of someone stealing your stuff. you can’t stop a nudibranch from eating your Zoa, but you can watch and not call the cops. Or you could call the cops that would be an interesting call to listen to. I guess if you have an overflow issue or something of that nature it could come in handy, but I would rather enlist a friend or family member to physically check in on my tanks.

I added one at work to watch my tank on the weekends after the cleaning people splashed water on my plug strip, killing all my fish and SPS.

That's exactly where these cameras come in handy. When you are out of town, you typically have someone come check on your tank maybe once a day if you're lucky. What if you have an overflow issue 30 minutes after they have left for the the day? If you're dilligent about checking your video feed, or if you have the motion alert set up, you can call them back to the house right away to deal with whatever is going on. Otherwise, they walk into a major flood and quite likely ruined floors the next day.
