Control your fish tank from your iPhone

Do you need telemetric data from your fish tank? Do you even have a fish tank? Well, you’re in luck because TankedCAM is a fish tank monitoring and video system for iPhone that allows you to watch your fishy fishes as well as turn on their little fish toys. there’s even a flash demo for those who wish to open and close a dinosaur’s mouth.

Best of all, the system, which runs on a mini PC, can send messages to Twitter regarding your tank’s status. For the life of me, however, I can’t find out how to buy the darned thing. It looks like they have a prototype board with camera, PH probe input, and wireless antenna.

  • Thanks for the write up John. I just wanted to add that we are hoping to have a production ready system within a few months. Those interested should check TankedCam.com occasionally for updates. Also, TankedCam does not run off of a mini-pc. In fact, the only PC involved is that of which you view the TankedCam from. This is a secure technology that does not require port-forwarding. Stay tuned.. :-)

  • Really? Best of luck to the production staff, but how many people do you really think will want to entertain their fish when they are not around? Just doesn’t seem like a go-getting scheme to me.
