I have a cheap Foscam I got from Amazon. I think I paid either just over or under $100 for it. Does night view and can be remotely controlled. It's set up explicitly to avoid spying on people in the space, it's just for fish peeping. Note the difference in the quality when streamed via the Apex vs the just Foscam app; above via Apex, below Foscam. Sent from space riding a T-Rex |

Thanks for the info. And wow that is a noticeable difference. I guess if the camera is exporting to something other than it's own native app that it's somehow sending out a lower resolution image?
How do you have the camera mounted? It looks like a fairly low viewing angle? In my case I'd probably have to mount it on the ceiling like a security cam or something. In which case it would be aimed a bit downward. Probably not the best angle for viewing but it would still solve the superficial want of looking at the tank when not at home. And the worst case scenario someone of hacking in to spy would see the back of my head if I was looking at the tank, and well, I kinda see that as being more their problem than mine.

I think some of the newer cams have anti-glare algorithms
