I don't have a dog right now, but if I did, I totally wouldn't trust it to
roam around my apartment while I'm not there. Who
knows what kind of
mischief it'll get into or what it'll find lurking in my sock drawer. This
Pet's
Eye View Camera makes it easy to keep track of your dog, but US$55 is too
expensive for what appears to be a glorified Webcam.
There's not a lot going on here in terms of technology: The little USB still
camera attaches to your pet's collar and can automatically take pictures at 1-,
5-, or 15-minute intervals. The camera can hold a total of 40 shots in 640 x 480
resolution. It seems like the camera would be more efficient if it could
automatically upload pictures via Wi-Fi to an online account like Flickr or
Snapfish so you can monitor your animals on the fly, but as it stands you can
only check out the pictures after the damage has been done.
The next time you find yourself combing through the refrigerator trying to
find that missing steak, consult the camera--all signs point to Beethoven.
The Pet's Eye View camera is available on
