I have a cam in my home. if i was RVing with my pets, i'd def. have one in there too. you can get them from Amazon hook em up to your wireless. worth it!
Does anyone have one or recommend one, I would like one I could watch through my phone live possibly away from home, but do you have to pay a monthly sub for this like you do with the ring cameras, I love the Furbo but I cannot justify spending that much.We boarded our dog at Wag Hotels in both West Sacramento and in San Francisco....when we'd go on our cross country motorcycle trips. You are able to log in and watch your dog live.
While I've not seen or heard of anybody doing it yet, I'd certainly not be surprised if somebody has their RV set up with a video camera to keep an eye on their dog(s) while away.
As far as the temp thing.....I have a large dual digital thermometer. It displays the temp outside as well as the temp inside. By the way, my Fox Mountain is built by Northwood Mfg. (so it has heavier insulation in the roof, walls and floor than many RVs) and it has the thermal pane windows (dark tint, dual pane). Weekend before last I pulled it up to Columbia, petscreening customer service helped me find the best accommodations for my pets during the trip, Ca. in 103F weather and just really expected it to be like an oven when I opened it upon arriving at the campground. While it was warm, I was very surprised that it wasn't near as hot as I was expecting....it wasn't even uncomfortable....just warm. I think for an RV that has good insulation, built tight, thermal pane windows, it's mainly the opening and closing the door repeatedly that get them hot. Just my experience.
This camera and app have some pretty bad reviews. ChuckI just left Walmart with the Motorola Hubble FOCUS66-B. It was $79.99. It is working perfectly - Connected to local wifi and streams the video virtually live (2-3sec delay) with sound and a temperature overlay. It sends alerts to phone for temp, motion, and sound changes if you choose. 2-way audio if you choose also. Seems absolutely perfect. It will have to be re-programmed at each campsite or area-of-use. So excited for the pups this weekend. I also tried it via my phones hotspot. Was more delayed (im on 3g) and i assume it would devour your data plan.
Thanks! Brand new 1st time RV'rs, waiting on Financing approval Tuesday!

I would think that any type of web-cam would work. The only problem is, you have to stay connected to the internet and that might not be possible all the time.
Then I guess I should probably throw all my cell phones away. Just kidding, but with approx. 8.5 billion, yes with a b, cell devices in use today, these are probably not going away in our lifetime and neither are the towers. And do I read you right? If there is cell service it's not a nice place? ChuckWe live and camp in nice places, so there's no cell towers or cellular service. With the rapid advances in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, cell towers likely won't be around for that many more years either. Just like High Earth Orbit (HEO) geosynchronous satellite Internet systems (HughesNet and ViaSat) and satellite TV systems (Dish and Direct) are quickly nearing extinction.
