I have an Axis 214. Not HighDef but more importantly auto white balance so it compensates for the overly blue light in most of our tanks. It's a pricey camera, but works really well.
You can check mine out at 74.62.193.110 -- Lights are on from 5pm to 12pm PST. And the image does embed in the Apex dashboard, but there is no PTZ with the Apex.

Hey guys, i researched the foscams and ended sending mine back for the FI8910w. This ipcam fixed a lot of issues with color balance however I cannot do HD. After realizing HD would cost lots of $$$$ I decided for plan B. I have dual monitors at work and was looking for something to leave up on the secondary screen. Getting a HD webcam, tweaking some settings, and this is whats the end result. This cams in 1920x1080. The lights dont start ramping up till 12:15pm central.

Now that Im used to this quality, the ipcams just dont do it for me anymore. I still like the ipcam due to if im out of town i can pan it around the tank. Quality wise, the 640x480 just doesnt do it for me. Monitoring it works good, pleasure viewing it does not.

After lots of reading and trial and error I decided on the Logitech C920. Its one of 4 webcams atm that supports H.264 encoding on the webcam itself. I purchased 3 diff 720p webcams and it was night and day difference from the c920 to any other webcam. Please rem guys, this is a webcam NOT an ipcam. You cannot hook this to your apex as the apex does NOT support usb webcams.
I understand the OP was about apex cams, this was what I wanted also, until I realized the quality difference. For the apex cam I like the foscam I recommended as its V2 and corrected a LOT of light/color issues and should run about 120$ with pan and tilt. IMO your best option for a budget ipcam.

Sounds like you need to figure out your IP address and forward it out. Your home network should be something like 192.168.1.1 or something similar. You need a static IP to be able to access it outside your home network. Can you access your apex from outside your network? The setup is about the same. Only thing that should be different is your port number
