Have you seen the Iphone commercial where the couple is adopting the puppy? They show an app that lets you view the dog on your phone when you are gone, using your webcam.
It's called Air Cam and it comes in two versions. The free version lets you use your iphone or another computer on your home network to see what's going on (like a video baby monitor). The paid version lets you leave the house, plug in to the webcam and keep an eye on your little one. It was fairly easy to set up, even for a non-techie like me. It has about a 5 second delay, but it works well enough. You can even remotely take pictures or set it to record video. Has sound, too.
I used it today to keep an eye on Rhett while I ran errands today, because I wanted to know if he was going to whine in his crate while I was gone. I'm happy to report he was a little angel!
I could have fun with this thing
