I bought a couple of Foscam FI8910W's before we went on our last vacation a couple of weeks ago. I have one pointed at my 90 gallon tank and the other at my wife's Biocube. I also have an old Dlink pointed at the skimmer in the basement. These cameras along with my Apex controller make checking up on my tanks when I am away a dream. The video quality isn't bad and it would be better if I could find a place to put the 90 gallon camera with a more direct view of the tank.
Anyone wanting a peek can check it out here:

You should see live video, unless you click the Snapshot button.

Yup, but they made short work of it. The tube will hang there until I get home from work to remove it.

You should probably mention for people that AxtiveX mode is for Internet Explorer and Server Push is for any decent browser like Firefox or Chrome. Nice camera setup by the way.
