Intank cameras

[Juniorh2r]

Has anyone used reef cam or any in tank cameras that actually works and can you refer me the link?

If you mean a camera that can be used in a tank, any of the Tough series of cameras can go in the tank without a waterproof case. We use an Olympus Tough 1 for underwater photography when we go snorkeling. They are good to something like 45 feet now. And we picked the Olympus because it has a bigger lens opening than all the others in the category. The bigger lens means a smaller f-stop and a shorter exposure time. And on cloudy days, even under just a couple of feet of water the light starts to get dim and shutter speeds need to start slowing down making for blurry pics.

So I started using this in our aquarium as well. It takes very good photos and has a macro focus so you can get super close to individual corals or critters. I got a GoPro camera for use on my car at autocross events but I haven't tried it in the tank yet.

The Olympus is too big to leave in the tank.

It isn't clear to me that the OP was looking for a camera to leave in the tank.

Ok.

I meant like a wifi camera where if I'm traveling I can see in the tank I have one setup on the outside but would like one that goes in the water and stays there fishkam and ice cap make one but the reviews are not good I want to know if anyone has used one or if they recommend any specific brand

 

[dealseer]

Still not clear, but I still believe you’re wanting one that stays in the tank. Perhaps the period key on your keyboard has gone on the fritz?

Looking for a camera I can leave in the tank. Icecap has horrible reviews. Any suggestions?

Nest cam

Putting a Wyze next to your tank is my go to. Really affordable, and high enough quality.

 

[Eggpaul]

Yes, I have blink cameras and I know about Nest cameras, etc. I'm asking if anyone knows about an IN-TANK camera.

 

[Adamantium]

There aren’t really many options for that, unfortunately. Zetlight has one, but I haven’t seen it in stock anywhere.

Reef aquarium laparoscopy

For large tankers and troubleshooting without disassembly, really handy item. I bought it on the zon to scope my jeeps emergency brake case for a lost tool dropped in. This was before a water change to clean scum off walls etc and test resolution with cam underwater it's decent. * it has...

not sure how to live feed. *the camera emits actual wifi you have to log onto, to cast into your phone that may be an intercept point for live monitoring possibilities.
