Cameras for viewing your aquarium?

[Coralreefer1]

I was wondering if any of you reefers out there have security cameras set up to view your tanks while you are away from them.
I just purchased a YI dome security camera for that reason...

I use Arlo. I’m pretty happy with them.

I saw them on Amazon while trying to decide which one to get. I hear Wyze makes good cameras that are affordable as well.

I stumbled on to a great deal for the arlo. I didn’t really research any cameras since it was an impulse buy and they have worked well. I don’t think they are very cheap option. Love watching my tank at work though. Wife hates when I call to have her check on something though. Haha.

You could setup a webcam on a computer and use team viewer. That’s what I do when I go on vacation! Just login to the computer with the camera with team viewer!

Yeah, it’s not really a trust issue with my wife and my tanks, but she obviously doesn’t know much about the saltwater hobby. For piece of mind it is nice to see my tanks and possibly minimize any potential issues regarding my tanks while I’m out of the house. This could pose a problem in its own right however if something goes wrong and either she is not home or can’t rectify the issue herself. If I’m far from home and can’t be there to fix the problem I’m screwed and I’m stressing out watching the problem on my camera sent to my phone

I also use Arlo. Works good.
