Amazon blink live camera ?

[Hallowhead]

Howdy,

Has anyone used the blink camera to watch their tank when they're not home? I've been looking at the xt2's and knew they'd be on sale during prime day and the 2 set is almost 50% off!!!

I just wanna make sure the quality is there and I won't be dissapointed.

Hi @Hallowhead . I use those cameras on my house and have this one inside. Wife just put it on the shelf. The only thing I don't like is that the blue is intense but maybe with a orange filter will looks better. IMO, one of the best wireless camera.

My son has the Wyze. Cheap, easy, and quite good.

Can you show me! Does it filter blues? Can you actually see into the tank?

Is that the xt2? Can you zoom in and physically see into the tank? Or the blues make it impossible huh?

I have 2 Wyze cameras as well. One in the sump and one outside so I can see the tank and the dogs. Lights aren’t on yet for the tank but here’s a couple pictures.

I have a Foscam from amazon, and the quality is excellent.

That looks pretty good. My main purpose is to be able to make sure my fish & corals are not dead or closed while away. I get the blues are going to make it hard but there has to be a way to properly do it. The wyze cam is MUCH cheaper than the blinks... so that's a plus

I have two Foscam C1, and two Foscam C2s. They work great.

PS - Those are images are both from the cheapest Wyze cameras as well. I have one of the pan and zoom versions which is still cheap for a camera and no subscription up in our living room. I've been happy with them and I could position it better if I only wanted to cover the tank.

You're all saying they're great but Id like to see so I know how well I can make the tank out !!

That's the first version. You can zoom with the phone app and the blue dimmed a little bit. The XT-2 is on my front outside.

So you can't really make the inners of the tank out ?

Depends on where you place the camera.
