Default Anyone who wants a webcam to monitor their reef remotely, check Dell.ca

http://accessories.dell.com/sna/prod...1&sku=A0635692

Pan, tilt, zoom, wireless G and a built in web server, so it will work without a computer hooked up to it.

On sale today for $120, which is half the regular price.

Interesting. Looks very similar to the Panasonic C-30 that I'm using that I purchased at London Drugs.

The Panasonic comes with it's own web URL and hosting services. I don't know if these others do that and I didn't have the skills necessary to host it myself.

I can't get any kind of detailed tech specs on the Dell cameras. I'm primarily interested in resolution, but they don't specify details on that. The Panasonic is 640x480 and I wish it were higher. Sensor size is listed as the same as the Dell units. (1/4" CMOS) Optical zoom would be awesome, but cameras with that feature get REALLY expensive ($1000)

kinda off topic but you can google all these cameras. you can just sit there and watch everyone else's cameras, and some of them control them.
