Yea he is right off bell and the 51. He does do trades I'll attach the ad he posts on craigslist. I don't think he has really big tanks but this is his ad. He constantly adds to it.

I wrote the ones you said but what kind did you use maybe that will help and yea can I ire it on smartphone or an app or whatever

 

[arjunsud]

I used a foscam ( amazon ) but dropcam also has some alternatives and they are much more user friendly . If I were you I would definitely get an hd camera . And then you can check in with an app on your phone or website on your computer.

The foscam actually allows you to pan side to side and up and down.

 

[jonathan85365]

I like them both sorry to bother but does second allow me to use app and can it pan also it's more exspensive but if can't pan can I get it to pan for something else

 

[arjunsud]

No I don't believe so. I'm not sure how you can get it to pan . Sorry . It's more expensive because it's more user friendly and it's better known .

 

[jonathan85365]

So for sure second one can be used with iphone

 

[arjunsud]

I think they both can . One is just harder to configuire

 

[jonathan85365]

The cheaper one is harder to configure right?

 

[arjunsud]

The foscam is harder. The drop cam is easier

 

[jonathan85365]

Do both force me to keep a computer on because that's more of a challenge

 

[arjunsud]

No not at all you need a wifi router . And your internet connection on both ends must be fast

 

[jonathan85365]

Hmm well in thT case it could work only short distance from router to tank

 

[jonathan85365]

I can image a lot of lag but I can handle it not a ton of movement in my tank but sounds like the second is better but first is also good what app do I download to see it

 

[jonathan85365]

So far I'm loving the camera the hd one found the app and definatley thinking about monitoring my. 50 with it till I can get something larger

 

[jonathan85365]

But the app says pro and it's 199 and all not so bad but it's so close to the other thing

 

[Gregcoyote]

I have remote cameras all over my system. I use foscam hd cameras.
