| Pet monitoring system? I'm looking into a monitoring system so I can see what my yorkie kids are up to while I'm at work. I know some may think this is a little crazy, but I'm working a lot more now and want to be able to check in on them when I'm gone for long periods of time. What can I say...my kids are spoiled lol. I've been looking at vuezone.com. Anyone use this or have heard anything about this? Are there any others I should look into? Thanks!

| I would love to do this myself. My son is very technology smart and could do this for me but he is too busy to worry about it ( he is 17). It will be nice to know what you can do. I think it is a great idea.

| I don't have pet monitoring system but I do have a webcam setup that I can view from my iphone or computer. I have a usb camera so I am very limited on where I can place the camera. I've been meaning to get a wireless camera, just have gotten around to doing it. I use webcam xp lite and a basic webcam and can have the same system for the just the one time cost of the webcam and software for viewing online. Webcam XP lite is free but the paid version allows you to do everything they offer without a monthly fee. I am in IT but even the most novice of computer users can easily setup this up with many of the same features as the paid features without a monthly fee. In other words, this can be done without paying a monthly fee. |

| The link I posted also has a free service. They have upgraded packages that cost money but the basic service is free. The thing I really like is they have a free phone app to view the camera from my phone...does the webcam thing have the options to view from your phone?
