    Does anyone have any idea what I need to hook up 2 camera's so I can see my tank from my phone or pc? If you know the brand name of the camera ect that would help. I want something that is basic and easy to use.

    Youbwill want to go wired vs wireles for picture clarity. There are a billion and 1 brands. But we like ubiquiti for ease of b use. And vivotek make some good amd inexpensive ones. Let me double check on our other brand.

    Yoi will want an dynamic dns uodater on a comouter im your house. As well as a couple ports opened ip or nated through on your router so you can see the cameras while mot at home. All in all its cake! Helped my find out our sixline was attacking our perc while no one was around.

    I'm hoping I can get another cam from Walmart to use with the one I have now. Just have to move my computer down stairs cause they aren't wireless. I've seen ICam app and a few others that are free and a few that cost. Need to be able to see from smart phones. Thanks guys

    We have dlink cameras on both our tanks so we can monitor from phone or computer. Not the best picture but meets our needs. They were only $30
