Network camera recommendations
Does anybody out there have any recommendations for a network camera to monitor a reef with LED Lighting.
I have been using old Airlink 101 AICN500W cameras for the past while, however they are starting to die. I tried a d-Link camera from Memory express, and the color was terrible. This is the colour quality( Or better) I am looking for https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5ky72hj5vu42ai/Tank_Cam.PNG https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5ky72hj5vu42ai/Tank_Cam.PNG |
haven't gotten one yet but been see lots of positive reviews with the Foscam systems
|
I'm using this one and very happy with it http://www.dlink.com/ca/en/home-solu...t-cloud-camera

I have a friend that just got Foscam and loves it. I have been eyeing the foscam ones for about a year and am currently in Toronto and will be picking a few up tm for myself and a couple of friends, will likely try to get one going via my Apex and perhaps you guys can check it out :). If anyone wants me to ask the guys there any questions I'll try to look here before I go, or I can pick some up for ppl (I'm in Nanaimo though),

Foscam's are great just no SSL if you want a secure connection
|
The Foscam looks pretty cool.

I tried the 942l and ended up returning it due to the picture quality. I would love to see a foscam in action, does anybody have one on their tank now?

I wasn't impressed with the 942l out of the box but after playing with the settings I was happy with the results. Let's face it 640 x 480 is only going to look so good. As a standalone camera, it is very user friendly and Dlink has done a good job with access via iphone/ipad and web browser.

I purchased the Dericam M801W. I had heard good things and it comes with true Optical zoom. Here is a link to one of the many reviews out there. http://www.dannyvanmaanen.nl/?p=965&lang=en
Price was good at $115 from eBay. Mine has the IR cut option. I don't have it running in the fish room yet, but my tests before moving were awesome. The Dericam site is down tonight...not sure why. Hope this helps. |
I just received 2 Foscams FI8910W, they're not bad for the money. Still lacking dynamic range, but color is OK.

That quality looks great. Thanks for the picture :D

For the money, you can't go wrong. I got them at http://foscamcanada.com, use coupon code: happy for 20% off.
Cheers. |

I could never get my streaming video to work in Internet Explorer on my APEX page with the foscam, and I couldn't get my outlet page to load in Chrome. Which program do you use?
