Looking for some cheap indoor cameras that I can view on my phone/computer.

I don't need any type of storage or service to save the videos. All I need is something basic to watch my dog while I'm away from the house. He's getting to the age where we are going to start letting him roam the house while we're away.

I see plenty of multi-camera packages on amazon for $120ish, which is all I need. Just curious if anyone has any first hand experience with any of them.

Walmart $25

I have one of these in my house. Great value for only $25. Read the reviews.

Both fit the bill, may just scoop that Yi 2 pack Ramrod posted since I can have it delivered to my door by tomorrow.

Thanks for the recommendations.

FYI, if you didn't already ring it up, I wouldn't buy the "package" with the micro SD... looks like they're overcharging for a 32gb micro SD? (not massively, but $14 bucks for something you can buy on amazon for about 7...)

Yeah I just got the cameras. I've got about 18 micro SDs laying around the house I can use.

I have the wyze for this exact purpose. Works great and I realized all my dog does when I'm gone is just lay on the couch for hours.

If you have any old phones layin around, use the app Alfred or try Warden Cam. I used to keep an eye on my puppy this way, free. I had 3 old phones placed throughout the house. Can even set to motion detect or talk through phone but it's a tease to them. My 2 cents

Quick updated.

I received my Wyze Cam Pans in. I was busy doing other stuff around the house and they were so easy to set up my fiance did it before I even had a chance to mess with it.

Picture is great, the pan feature is fantastic. I haven't even really looked in to any of the other features but they're already worth the $38 price tag.

Thanks for the recommendation and I would also recommend them to anyone looking for something like this.

I kind of want one of these but can't think of a reason to justify it. I just think it's cool
