Dropcam - Camera for your tank

[Orion]

If any of you are looking for a way to watch your tank when you are away, and have some cash to spend, pick up a Dropcam.  They are pricey compared to cheaper alternatives, but the video quality, easy setup, and ease of use can't be beat.

I bought the Pro version, and couldn't be happier.  Very simple to use, and easy to setup in just 3 short steps.  The video is HD quality, and it's clear as a bell on wifi or over a cellular LTE connection on your phone/tablet.   Dropcam has apps for both iPhone and Android phones, and you can also view it via a webpage on Dropcam's website as well.

 

Note: This camera will not link to the Apex Dashboard.

Thanks for the post. I might check this out when I have a bit of extra cash. I'm traveling a bit now and being able to take a look at the tank when I'm away from home could be useful.

I'm smiling now. When I first read "drop cam," I'm thinking I can drop it into the tank... that would be cool. No such luck.

I believe you can use a GoPro camera underwater.  Paul B demonstrated it with his tank... his thread is around here somewhere!

I wish the go pro could be wired to the apex... This is a cool camera though.

I saw a remote controlled submarine awhile back that had a video camera on it...

 

 

This camera looks great, I love the image quality. Thanks for posting!
