I recently stumbled upon an app set for Apple devices that allows me to turn any of my devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac, or even iPod) into a webcam to watch over my tank remotely. The app set is free. Essentially, the cost is free because I already had an old iPhone I do not use. More than one Apple device can be used to view from different angles. You will need two apple devices.
The apps are called https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/athome-video-streamer-ip-camera/id590416158?mt=8">Athome Video Streamer</a> and [IMG]https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/athome-camera-free-remote/id305567000?mt=8">Athome Camera</a>.

The Athome Streamer app will be used on the devices that will be your webcams. The Athome Camera app will be used on the device used to view your webcam.
Here is my tank:

My phone is plugged in for continuous. I have this as the only app running so low risk of overheating.
The app has features such flash, switch camera (back to front lens), Mute, record, take a pic, and even Walkie Talkie.
Here is the flash feature. I am controlling the flash of my phone I am using as a webcam. Keep in mind I am out of town at the moment and my lights have just turn off according to their schedule.

The setup was pretty easy. I think this app may also be available for android as well.
