look what showed up today...

Got the same thing a few days ago. Pretty crappy image quality but it does the trick.

 

What do you plan on doing with it?

 

I had no issues, guess it depends what you consider tricky.

 

I have 3 of those setup. They work great for monitoring both my tanks and my fish room when I am gone on vacation or at work. They also work great in the Apex dashboard panels. I setup 3 different panels one for each tank and camera and one for my fish room and camera.I had one for about a year and got 2 more black friday I haven't had any malfunctions with them.

 

Forgot to mention they have an app for my phone I use for viewing called Livecams

 

I didn't use the software just manual setup through the web browser.

Here is the code for the Apex dashboard for the camera to work. http://usernameassword@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxort/videostream.cgi

Where is says password use your camera password where xxx are is the ip address

I originally bought the 9821W(720p HD) camera because I wanted the higher quality video myself. But the camera doesn't work with the Apex dashboard because it outputs the video in H.264 and Neptune doesn't support it. I even had Russ from Reeftronics.net look at ways to make it work and even he was stumped. To be honest, it was very hard to tell the difference in video quality between the HD camera and the SD camera. Just trying to save you a few bucks is all. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif Oh and I have 2) of the 8910W and I am happy with them!

 

I have two of them as well. The video quality isn't great but I am not trying to impress anyone with a crystal clear real time tank cam.

I use one on my DT and the other on my sump. I got them for when I go on vacation....you can get data from your apex and then confirm with the cameras. Also if you had to walk someone through a pump switchout or similar it would be handy.

I also figured out my purple tang was the one beating everyone up by watching from work. Damn fish. He's gone now. Trapped him in part by watching his habits remotely as well.

 

Very nice! I used to work for a security integrator, so I've been playing with this a lot lately. I have a cheap-o camera set up at http://173.17.114.73 for now. Still playing around with the focus. Usually you can see my Blenny darting around or sitting on top of the magfloat on the left.

If you want something really cool and pretty easy to use I would recommend Milestone software. They make a version called XProtect Go that is free and perfect for home use. You can use up to 8 cameras and store video for 5 days. But the best part is that they have a mobile app that you can run on iOS or Android where you can see all of your cameras from anywhere. Very handy stuff.

 

So if everyone has a live cam why don't we have links to check em out?
