Anyone using a streaming cam with APEX Fusion?

[Isaac Alves]

I'd like to get a Webcam that can stream video of my tank when I'm away. I'd like to know what others are using, and how easy or hard it was to hook into APEX Fusion?

Following. Love to see what is out there.

I use a Foscam which worked famously inside the network but not outside
I didn't reall take the time to see if I could do it outside the network

So it works well with Fusion? You can pull up your home page and see your tank in real time?

 

[Bob Escher]

Yes WITHIN THE INSIDE network but not out in public. I know there is a way to view it outside the network and publicly but I didn't go that far. It's broke now and I don't plan on replacing it at this time

This doesn't sound like it would solve my remote streaming requirement.

I'm thinking of picking up nest cam. Does anyone use nest cam within apex?

Just found this pretty cool YouTube video on setting up an old iPhone as a web cam seeing it up with APEX fusion:

Dynamic IP on both local and ISP levels seems to be a problem. I wonder if there's a work around.

Yes, it can be done but IMO it isn't worth it due to the restrictions that Fusion sets regarding resolution and the ability to move the camera around. You would be better off using any IP camera and the software/apps included to view your tank offsite which will allow a higher resolution and the ability to zoom in/out or pan the camera.
