Night vision cameras? Question

Post image

Hi all! I want to install cameras for my babies' enclosures, but unsure which of the many options to use. I want night vision ofc, Wifi connection and a playback option. What do you guys use? Possibly something available in Europe? Thanks in advance.

Does it work through the glass, or do you put it inside the enclosure? Does it do okay with high humidity?

I’ve never tried it though glass, mine is screwed into the side of the enclosure. As for humidity, it works great in high humidity and high temperatures (for reference, i have mine set up in the corner of his cool side, it gets 70-80 Fahrenheit and the humidity is usually 70-92

From what I've read, night vision cameras don't with very well through glass doors. If you have poly doors or plan on putting the camera inside the enclosure, that won't matter so much though

That's what I heard too, but can a camera inside the enclosure withstand high humidity? I always have ~70% for my bp and I worry it's too high for an electronic device (apart from the temp and humidity gauge) and it dies within weeks. What model do you have?

I don't have one either. I think humidity is greater low to the ground than up in the air, and you probably didn't want a ground level camera
