Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I have two Foscam. You can control, listen, talk, does saved motion on web, unlimited tech support, night vision. I am sill one of the Verizon customers that has unlimited data. If I am in another part of the house can watch them or from iPad or cell phone. Very nice when we are out. Also can control the camera to move left and right and up and down. Bought thru Amazon had it up and running in 15 minuted had to call tech su[[prt when installed second one.

| Well, I googled for a couple of hours and decided to buy the Vimtag VT-361 HD Internet Connected Camera, less than $100.00. Amazon. You can set it up so it only records when motion is detected and it will send a text alert to your phone, which is great. And you can pan and rotate the camera on your smartphone to get your pup in view. Can't wait to get it!

| I've tried this app called Presence. It can also be used as home security too. You can set up your iPad (or any old phone with a camera), use your computer at work to see, use your android or iPhone to see remotely. It just uses your wifi at home. You can set the settings to have motion activated. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/pres...618598211?mt=8 https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...sencepro&hl=en When I tried this on Scottie, it was HILARIOUS. I used an iPad at home. There's this phone function. So I tried it. Apparently my face showed up on the iPad and Scottie experience his first video chat with mommy and you can imagine his expression. hahaha... He was so cute. He sat down when I told him to over video chat. He was so confused! Best of all, it's Free

| By the way, do you need to download an app for the webcam to work?

Yes, the app is called Presence; you can download them in the two links depending if you're using Apple or Android products.

| If you have a pc/laptop(the latter being more energy efficient) with a webcam I would recommend Skype!. It's free and available on almost all platforms including mobile devices. All you have to do is create 2 Skype accounts (one for hosting and another for monitoring). Set your hosting PC to never sleep. Within the skype application options > Call settings(show advance options), check the "Answer incoming calls automatically". And that's all!. Now all you have to do is make a video call on your monitoring device to the host machine and it will connect automatically. Another free option if you already have a webcam is "YouTube"! I do not do this myself but I found a person who live stream his yorkie when he is not home. The videos are saved as well!. Here's the link Hope this helps |

| I got my webcam set up, very easy to do. Then I downloaded the app they say to use with it (SereneViewer) and that was more difficult to figure out how to use as there were no instructions on how to use it. There is also no number or website for tech support, which I think is terrible. I am going kayaking today and it will be so neat to watch Lacy in the kitchen where she stays. I can see pretty much the entire room. I have it set up to send me an alert when movement is detected. Not sure I will try talking to her, as she freaked out yesterday when I tried the mic. lol

| I just wanted to thank everyone with input on this thread. I put the presence app on my iPad and Android phone last night and it works awesome on a test run I did. I had been searching for home cameras over the last few weeks but this is even better, I love that they can hear me and I can check in on their antics even if I'm just running to the grocery store! |

Have you tried out the video chat function yet? It's fun to try to get them to do tricks over cyberspace

| After our puppy escaped her x-pen we bought a D Link camera at Best Buy. (We now confine her to one room with baby gates) My husband set it all up and he did it rather quickly so it seemed easy enough. Ours is not directly connected to the router, it is connected through WIFI. We are able to watch from any computer or phone with our login. It has night vision and we can move the camera around the room to follow her and hear what is going on at the house. We can't talk to her through it and it does not record but for what we needed it for, it's perfect and was affordable. It was somewhere around $60.00 - $80.00.

| Today was the first day I watched Lacy on the webcam. The picture is sure not very clear. Her crate is 12 feet from the camera, but I couldn't tell if she was in it or not. Also, I saw her move a couple of times and I did not get the "alert" that I get when I am at home. Not sure I will keep this webcam.
