Tank Cam / Sump Cam recommendations

[derek_SR]

Finally getting around to putting doors on my tank stand (extruded aluminum) and am going to really miss being able to just glance at everything in the sump. But sadly, for the family's sake, it must be done.

Looking for recommendations - both for sump and potentially for the DT (with an orange filter?)

I use blink cameras because of how cheap they are. They work well but I can’t speak on water resistance or an orange filter.

This is the one I have. Worked well when we were on vacation a couple of times.

Can you share a screenshot what the camera see? I’m interested in a cam as well. Curious whats the view when you literally stick the camera on the outside glass

Wyze cam Pan V3 because this camera gives me views at all spots and my home security/cams are all wyze so it makes sense for me to go with this one.

I would suggest cheap. You're going to look at this video a couple times when you get it, and then once on a vacation, and never outside of that. Plus extreme humidity can ruin electronics, especially ones not designed for it.

Recording is helpful.

I say this as someone with cameras pointed at my tanks.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. That Wyze came looks like a good option for the sump.

if you do get wyze, they have leak detect sensor but you will need a sense hub to make those work. still cheap comparing to other system. i have the 3 sensor kit, one for dishwasher, one for the sump and one outside of my tank stand next to my RODI reservoir
