Wifi Camera power alert

KenRexford · Apr 8, 2019

After hours as an obvious idiot, I cannot find it. What I am seeking is a wifi camera that will send me an alert if the power goes out. Apex heartbeat sounds great, but $$$ not good for my wife. I just want an alert if the circuit breaker trips. Plus, looking at the tank remotely will help with wife/teen/housesitter if I am at work.

Any suggestions?

Simple device to monitor the power outage:

I use a nest camera and the app to monitor one of my tanks works great!!

Video baby monitor. You can watch on your phone also when not home

I switched my reef to be on my new home mesh system. Both my amplifi and the google home mesh immediately notify you if it looses connection. Now it serves as multi purpose (better home wifi coverage) that enables me to know if i lose power. Whats nice about both these systems is they are on a cloud server that pings the router repeatedly. If the router does not respond, instant notification via cell network.

So the coin in (very low all things considered) i increased my home coverage and added a notification step to my tank. Combined that with my 72hrs of battery backup on my MP40, i usually just check, shrug and take a look when i get home.

I was born in 1968 and have been living under a rock since 98, apparently. I will have to "Google" half a dozen words you used. LOL

HAHA, I am sorry about that! Long story much shorter. If you buy a $129 wireless router, you will have better coverage in your house. I like the Ubiquiti Amplifi system or the Google home mesh system. They both send you alerts if you lose power
