Has anyone ever played with some kind of underwater camera perhaps controllable through a network or controller?

I want to eventually buy a controller, do most of these have some kind of module to connect a camera for a FTS you can monitor when your away?

Lots of people have setup web cams with a live feed but I've seen someone do it with an underwater camera. I think the new profilux can do something with a web cam.

An underwater camera may not be the best for a smaller tank. It would be focussed on a very small area. A web cam a foot or two away from tank would work good. Hook the camera up to a computer then download free software from teamviewer.com and you should be able to access your computer from anywhere. Every once in a while I check out my tank through my computer at work.
