SRC Member jem Posted June 1, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Sharing an easy installation of IP Camera (CCTV) for your tank & sump. Will be useful for frequent travelers or even for meticulous hobbyist who wants to remotely view their tank from their phones. Also helps me to monitor my sump to check on my skimmer collection cup, clarisea filter roll and calcium reactor effluent (if clog). For this project, I choose the VSTARCAM range of cameras due to their affordability, speed and picture quality. - VSTARCAM 5G C22Q 4MP - VSTARCAM C22S 2.0MP 1080P Bought it from an online retailer at less than $100 for both cameras with delivery to doorstep. The C22S will be used to view my sump and the C22Q will be to have a good view of my tank Edited June 1, 2020 by jem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member jem Posted June 1, 2020 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) So basically the Vstarcam cameras are very easy to install. Took me less than 10min to get them up and running on my Android mobile App. Let me walk you through on the installation steps: 1) Download Eye4 Application on Google Play or App Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vstc.vscam.client&hl=en_SG https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eye4/id642266858 2)Open the Eye4 app click register and setup up your account 3) Click on the + icon at the top right to add the camera Edited June 1, 2020 by jem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
