Best monitoring camera? Best quality picture (1 Viewer)

[Globe182jp]

hey y’all

I been searching a few days for a camera for live cam of my tanks, but haven’t found the info I’m looking for.

I want to set up a great quality camera wall mounted WiFi accessible. Price is less a concern image quality is main goal. Most threads seem to point to just a cheap security camera, I’m looking for something more professional higher quality.

Specs
Wall is about 12 feed across tank. Can mount at top of door frame, ceiling or above TV about a foot above tanks height.

I have a Wyze V2 cam and from that distance the picture quality is poor, it’s to wide, and zoom is too blurry.

I ordered a Wyze OG 3x I will try and see if that give me more a focus on the tank itself and less the room, but it’s still a 1080 camera so I don’t thing the image is going to be amazing.

Was going to order the Wyze V3 pro for its 2k resolution but after a ton of reviews and post it seems to be worse than the Wyze OG unless it’s night time.


I know I will need to DIY a reef filters once I find a good camera. That’s an issue that seems easier to fix than finding a nice camera for remote viewing.

I’m sure a dslr would be best as many fish bloggers use them but not sure how to mount it to a wall, run it all day or connect to for WiFi access.

Any other recccomendations ? Could a 4k webcam work? Or some other indoor camera?

Thanks all

I like nest. Either indoor or outdoor will do

Do you have a filter ? How far from tank are you mounting it?

No filter. I had several. You can mount it right over your tank or off of a wall you want to monitor it.

If money is no object this is the best I am aware of but have not seen any reviews. Their cameras will not work stand alone, so you do need an NVR of some sort from them.

Hahah well that would be sick maybe a bit overkill. Got an update for my tank.

Got the Waze OG 3x hooked up and I’m not too unhappy about the view. It’s got a far narrow FOV so it’s looks pretty compared to the standard Wyze cams Still wish it had better resolution but it’s still a 1080 camera.

Got a nest cam from work I’m going try and set up also. But still it’s a wide FOV and 1080,so not sure it will look different than my Wyze V2


OG 3x


V2



Both cameras had the yellow coral filter on when I snapped. If the OG was a 4c it may be prefect for where I’m having it look. On the new tank the OG may fill its view with the bigger tank perfectly
