So I remember a few years back, it was hard to find a camera that had a good image for remote viewing your tank when you're away. However, I know technology in those cameras has come a long way since then. What cameras are you guys using now? Which ones are good for clear enjoyable viewing of your tank when away from home?

Wife got me a Blink system for Christmas. Seems to work well so far and setting it up was simple and straight forward. The only neg point I can say, if it's one at all, is it streams the video for ten seconds then a window pops up asking if you want to continue.

I went with the Amazon Blink ones as well, no the best quality but I use it more to check in that all is okay than to actually look at fish and coral! :)

I have seen people using the Arlo cameras; even in the sump as they have good resolution and high viewing angle

I use NEST for outdoors and they are a good option but you an get more bang for your buck with other cameras for your tank. You don't need a NEST level camera is what I'm saying.

I also use nest for outdoors.

I just purchased a blink camera. Seems like a good bang for the buck. Thanks!

I got the blink today (Amazon has same day delivery)

Its a nice little camera, but I can hardly see my tank.

I mainly wanted a camera to watch my tank when I’m on travels for a long time. I tend to get home sick and watching my tank makes me feel better.

My tank has 14K lighting; nothing too blue, but it isn’t looking great.

Any suggestions?
