Reef Cameras

[EHaddad]

So I’m looking at getting a camera for my tank. I’ve seen a lot of post of people saying they have them. I’m interested to know which brand you have and what works best.

I've heard a couple of people say they use Amazon blink cameras, fairly cheap, easy to set up and get the job done.

i currently use an Amcrest pro 1080p with zoom / pan/ tilt and two-way audio mounted on the ceiling across from the tank. The resolution, both day and night are okay and there is no IR reflection on the glass in the dark. That being said, I'll be replacing it soon with a 4k setup.

Wyze cams are cheap and work great. I added a orange filter to my cam on the display held in place by double sided tape

We use the blinks around the house.

Even ended up using one as a flood for the backyard when the dogs go out. Have to say that one has the craziest battery I've even seen, just keeps going even with the LEDs going off 10-20 times a night.

Also indoor we used a few powered ones and switched our Ring doorbell to a Blink Doorbell.

They just work...

Also the setup is way easier than any camera I've used before.

Not sure how they'd do with a tank's blue light though.

Best thing, it's Amazon, so you can easily return

I like the amcrest ones too. My buddy is a dealer locally and gets some awesome deals, they have a pretty good product. I am a little leery of sending anything to amazon cloud.

What 4K are you looking at and how are you watching it online?

I haven't decided that yet, as I only juat decided last night when discussing cameras with another member here. For me, an app on my phone is a must, which is how I use it now.

Wyze have been the most popular the last 5 years based on cost and reliability

I haven't seen a 4k version yet. Though, to be fair, I've only looked on Amazon so far...

Do you have a link? Is this to eliminate the washed out blue look?
