Nursery/Nanny Cam

[incognitotoday]

I have no idea which board to post this on...

Does anyone recommend a nursery cam or nanny cam, that they've used where they can log on at work, and see what is going on at their house...for me this would be to watch my dogs.  Sounds odd, but some weird things are happening with them (out of the norm) and I want to be able to see.

For instance, this link: explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/service-puppy-cam, shows a "nursery cam" set up.

Anyone have any brands they've used?  The cost of them? (Maybe this is for the MM boards; I dunno).

TIA

There is a baby monitor you can buy that is compatible with your iPhone. Or an app? I wasn't really paying attention, but DH seems to think it's a great idea. No idea about the cost.

I would just get a cheap webcam, (and a long USB cord if needed) and then use USTREAM (I'm 99% sure this is free)

Yea, I don't want to "hide" it per se, but definitely be able to log onto my work computer and monitor my pups.

I'm curious what you think is going on with them.

Just accidents and finding things on my living room floor (pieces of objects) that for the life of me, I cannot find out where it is coming from (it's not shredded toys or furniture).   My neighbor says that she hears them bark (every now and again) and I want to see what aggitates them to do so, or if it is certain times of the day.  Also, one of them is having an upset stomach more than the other, and I am wondering which of the two it is.  They're 6 yrs old, I will not crate them anymore, and they are limited to one grand room of my place, so I just want to "check in" and see them.

Do you have laptop with a camera or a baby monitor? There are motion activated apps that can attach to them. The images go to your smart phone or you can retrieve them online.

H set up a puppy cam for our dog when we went on vacation. In a bit, I will ask him what he used.

Great. Please let me know what he used. Was it worth it?

I don't have a laptop or computer to use a webcam.

I was under the impression you don't necessarily need a PC for something like this. Right?

Fi is automating our house and wanted to put some cameras in for fun. I got him a Drop Cam for Christmas because it got the best reviews and seemed easy to use. It was very easy to use. You set up the account either via PC or using their Drop Cam App and then put it wherever in your house. You can view the footage via the Drop Cam app from anywhere you have cellular data service.

Basically someone was selling their house and had their webcam set up to stream. (I think)

She knew people would be there so she was watching and her realtor and that dude pretty much get it on.(I don't know who it was - but if I'm remembering correctly it was NOT the realtors husband)

He used a pc and a webcam.  He set it up, and I don't know of any other way.

ETA:  He is the technology geek in the family.

LOL!  You put it back up!

We have a D Link that I got on Amazon. It was cheap, easy to set up and we can see the feed on our phones, too. The downside is that it is a fixed position camera, so you can't zoom into different parts of a room or anything...but it does the job.

Thanks everyone, I bought the dropcam from Amazon.  Should be here Wednesday.  I can follow up if anyone is interested in reviews.

I saw that on pinterest last night.  Clicked on the link and it is like $200.  But you can even talk to your baby through it.  I may have to get one next kid, lol

This is the one you can do audio with, it was $149.99.  The YouTube clip looked like easy set up which is what I needed b/c I am not computer saavy when it comes to hooking up electronics.

This will probably be the one we end up with.  DH LOVES his gadgets.  I'm going to suggest when we talk to the kid we read it "go the f*ck to sleep"

The app we use is icam. We hooked it up to our laptop camera and pre exisiting baby monitor. It was really inexpensive. Perfect for something like watching a dog or slutty realtor. LOL

I was nest famous for a day for that post haha but then I started to feel bad about exposing the realtor and our privacy, so I dd.

Dropcam was delivered and I installed it it less than 10mins. It's already amazing! Highly recommended!
