I use the Nest Cam about 6 feet away from my 210 DT, the video is hi-res enough that I keep it displayed on a 42inch led TV hanging on the wall in my office at work and it looks great!

I use Foscam. Once you get it, it's not so bad.

Drop cam is so easy to set up but my problem is they are much too wide angle.
Foscam i found to have a narrower field of view and it has optical zoom and panning which is nice. I wish drop cam would offer more options and features. Foscam is never an easy setup for me, even the ones that are supposed to be plug n play.

I use the D Link 5020L it is high def, wifi, pan, tilt, sound motion detection, and night vision. I can log in on any computer and also have the app on my phone.
I mount it on a cheap $20 Walmart tripod and can pan and tilt to monitor both my Reefer 450 and my sump.

The 19831 has a manual focus ring that you can turn

If you want the best you need to look at the Canon, Sony or Axis. But they all deal with the blue lighting of our reef tanks differently. I had an older Axis that did great with the white balance. I bought a newer one, better picture quality but the white balance isn't quite as good.
You can check out my Axis at www.o2manyfish.com/camera.htm -- Lights are on from 5pm to 1am Pacific time, on the weekends the lights come on around lunchtime,

Just checked and I've got a 19826, which I don't think has that.

subscribing, in for ideas for the future!
o2many, those axis cams are amazing, but I could buy a whole frigging lot of coral for the prices of some of their cams.
