Hi everyone,

I was wondering how many of you have webcams pointed at your tanks?

I'd like to get one and would appreciate any recommendations.

Considerations:
- My upload speed sucks (800-1100kbps) (welcome to Australia sucker!)
- Pan/tilt controls would be ideal
- IR/Nightvision would be nice, but not a game breaker
- If I can connect it to Apex fusion, all the better (but not essential)
- I run Android and OS-X.
- Priced around $300-$600

Found the Foscam unit to be quite good. I was able to keep an eye on my tank while I was in Europe recently.

yeah Foscam is great, one of their higher end units would still be at the lower end of your budget, or buy two!

Thanks Dave/Sam - looks like I can get what I need for ~$200 :cool:
