Best webcam

[Sisterlimonpot]

Most of the webcams that I have seen on aquariums are pretty low quality. they have no way to adjust white balance, colors are washed, pinks are oranges, one cannot tell the difference between green and purple, etc..

Does anyone know of a good webcam for a Reef Tank?

I know one gets what one pays for. I don't have a particular budget in mind, what would you guys recommend?

There has to be a way to have continuous feed from a go pro. That's the best picture quality I have seen for under $300.

I haven't used it on my tank, but I have a 720p Microsoft webcam that was only about $30 or $40 and has an excellent picture.

I know that I can look it up but is it wireless?

No, I run it off a laptop. for a wireless I've been tempted to try one of these http://foscam.us/products/foscam-fi9820w-megapixel-wireless-ip-camera-94.html

I have the non-HD version and use it on the tank when I go out of town. I like it because I can set it relatively close to the tank and can use my iphone to pan the tank and other parts of the house. The colors aren't bad but the picture isn't great. If I get time to set it up this weekend i'll pm you and let you check it out.

ok. that would be great. my chief concern is being able to make out what is what in the tank without a white haze. the accurate color is just icing on the cake.
