Pet camera / CCTV

cocker5

Bit of an odd one.. we brought cooper away for 2 staycations last year, both times to places where we had been with our previous boy Cody so knew how pet friendly the pubs were etc..we had a blast!

So now we’re looking at exploring some new places in Ireland and in UK (once covid is easing etc) and as we’re not sure where we can bring him in etc so I’m looking for a portable CCTV camera, good quality, night vision, live viewing via an app so if we have to leave him secure in a hotel room we can view him and make sure all is ok.. any ideas?

Thanks!

Ps.. We’re not going to leave him where he could possibly be stolen or for long periods of time etc it’s only IF we have no choice to get dinner or something and place doesn’t allow dogs. And we also use the Tractive GPS tracker (which is brilliant) so we know where he is etc it’s more to check he’s not stressed.. and yes are slightly mad 🀣

This cam is handy cocker.

360. Night vision. Audio so you can listen to him and you can talk to him. Handy app on the phone and it's just plug in so you can take it anywhere. It's not expensive either.

I got the Blink camera on Amazon, brilliant quality with night vision and movement detector and not too pricey either. I activate it when the cats are in bed at night to try and pick up if Cream is having any seizures and it picks up even the smallest movements.

Yi indoor dome camera can be set up pretty quickly once there is wifi

Thanks a million! Can I ask did u order from US and use an adapter to charge? Can you you get two cameras and see both on the one app?

I'd second the blink cameras too, we have two. Easy to use, good quality picture and can set up motion alerts. You can also buy different mounts which might come in handy if you are thinking of using it in different spaces, at least you could manoeuvre the camera to take in as much of the space as possible.

No got it from Amazon. 35euro I think. No charger needed as it's plug in. I'm fairly sure you can use two cams with own app, theres an option to add a camera in the app anyways.

Just an old Android phone using the Alfred app on a 48 or Gomo SIM, if you have other uses for it, or just on WiFi if not.

I use it for my house and pet security for a few years now in tandem with trail cameras.

Thanks a million guys for recommendations! I really appreciate it. Nice to see I’m not totally bananas.. well kinda!

Doing all my research today.

On the Nooie - mains plug?

On the the blink cameras .. they are not plug in? But battery operated? Do u use the indoor or outdoor ones? Sorry stupid question as we’ll only bring indoors! Can you pan around move the camera via your phone or is it fixed once in place?

YI - same as above .. are the plugged into the mains or battery? Can you pan the camera?

Thanks for the apps suggestions I’ll def look at that option also!

Thanks all and sorry for the silly questions 🀣 I’m very bad on the tech stuff

Yeah the nooie is mains plug.

dashoonage

Yi plugs into the mains, its a usb cable and usb plug. can be tilted moved zoomed twisted you name it with the app

it also has a mic for addded " whos a good boy" or " put it ****ing down" depending on the suitation

My dog had a full nest set up ... pathetic I know. But she has one camera over her bed, one in the kitchen that keeps an eye on her moving around and one out the back 😂
The good thing I find about the nest cams is that I can talk to her if she’s acting up - funny if she’s looking like she’s acting up and you tell her to stop over the camera, she stops and gets back in to her bed 😂
Probably can do the same with the cheaper options mind you!
