Hopefully it gets here before I leave. Apparently it has an iOS app too. 
This is the one I've purchased:

The reviews indicated that the camera is quite serviceable . . . though the software is a pain.
Anyhoo . . . does anyone have any any experience and/or tips for installing this thing? Distance from tank? Distance/angle from windows? Reflection issues? It pans and tilts, so I'm hoping I can monitor the tank and sump with one camera. I'm not going to have much time to mess with it, though. |
Probably the trickiest part will be configuring your home network to allow webcam to be viewable from outside your home. Hopefully the manufacturer makes this easy.
