Oh, sorry I misunderstood. I got mine from Amazon.

Have had it at least 5 or 6 years now and, surprisingly, the price has not come down at all! But I think it's worth the money -- can't tell you how much fun we've had with this thing over the years. Every so often my wife and I and our four big dogs enable the sound and broadcast a "show" for family and friends! LOL

Right, nothing visible from like 2am to dawn. It's near a window so things in tank start to become visible after dawn -- it's pointed at the inlet tube, and my seahorses hitch to it to sleep at night -- cleaner shrimp also hangs out there. Then, around 1:00pm I turn the lights on and re-postion the camera to the front of the tank -- feeding time around 2:00-ish. Feel free to tune in at any time (use the link and password info in post #13). Other inhabitants besides my pair of Seahorses are a pair of small ocellaris clowns, a McCosker Wrasse and a Red Mandarin (who is a ham and is usually right up front on the cam!).

No scratches or lick marks. Paw prints all overthe front though. They have their little routine. They come down shortly after sunrise in the tank and chase the fish around for thirty minute or so then finally realize they can't get them no matter how hard they try. The grey one is the smart one. I had a very small freshwater tank two years ago that he figure out how to open. I couldn't figure out why my fish kept disppearing until I caught him in te act. Now he's not so lucky .

I am too tired to read the entire thread. But I have had a logitech webcam for about 6 months and I love it. I use it to skype with people from other countries. I purchased it on ebay. Amazon is also another site to check out. It was inexpensive too (about ten dollars).

:bump:

Has anyone else tried to do this with a regular web cam?

 

[James983]

You can also use a D-link camera which works wirelessly. All you need is an outlet. They sell them at Staples for around $90 and the Iphone has an app for it. No charge for the Dlink server either.

 

[Jakef150]

Nice- im looking for one with zoom

Recommend ??

Thanks

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

I have a logitech webcam somewhere I think. Wonder how that will work.

 

[reefman]

any webcam with an active internet connection will work. all you need is a webcam software to stream the feed, like webcamxp or similar.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Picked up 2 dlink 930L wireless web cams. Stream nicely via wifi. A little choppy over the phone but very doable!
