Found the coolest App! 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 :) |
Oooh, I love that idea. I'll have to check it out. How is yours set up? Do you have a wireless Webcam? |
I have a webcam built in to my laptop. I'm able to connect through my wireless router. |
I don't have an iphone but I do have my webcam setup. I use a program called webcam In fact here is a link to my baby http://68.83.85.251:8080/ I can't access from a phone, but any internet connect PC I can. I usually check on her periodically from work. I will check out the AIR CAM, wonder if it works with blackberry phones. |
Oh my gosh, I will have to get this! Thanks for the info! |
That is so cool. I am so technologically challenged that I would never figure it all out. |

Isn't it great to be able to check on your furbaby....although it can be a little creepy too. I mean what if somebody breaks in and there you are watching it!!!!! It also can be addictive. My Brandi sleeps most of the day but she gets really active around the time when she knows i get home from work and I just love watching her. I wish I was able to get it on my phone, I'll have find one for a black berry phone. |
That's awesome!!! I just got to watch your baby!!! Hee-hee!! Love it!! |

The pen is mesh with a zippered top and bottom. Here's the link X-LARGE RED PET TENT DOG PUPPY PLAYPEN EXERCISE CRATE - eBay (item 370377518959 end time May-14-10 14:15:02 PDT) I got it from ebay for about 46.00. if you yorkie is anything like mine she will try to escape. I never put her in through the zippered side doors because that's the way she will try to escape. I only put her in through the top. I love it because it's mesh and so far, it's the only pen she has not been able to escape, not to mention it's a lot safer than the metal cages. The mesh sides slope a little bit when pushes up against it. I love this pen and would recommend it to anybody with a small breed dog. |

i have to check it out! thanks for the tip! :) |
There's a doggie day care that sets up webcams that allows you to check in on your dog anytime on a computer. I wonder if it's the same app. |

i'm having a barbecue the 4th of July in my back yard and that is where Brandi will be in her pen! I'll have about 20 people here. With no fence, I would hate to leave Brandi locked up away from the festivities. |
