I see that most of these units require 2 Mbit/sec upload speed. I am only able to get .75. Has anyone been able to view their camera remotely with slow dsl upload?

Not a camera recommendation, but when our dog is going to have pups, we take her temperature 2X a day. When she drops 2 degrees, the puppies are within 12 hours or so. We get her nesting box ready 3-4 days in advance so she gets used to it. My wife spends the night with her on a mattress on the kitchen floor and stays with her 100% of the time until the puppies come. We made the mistake on our second litter of going grocery shopping together, and when we got home, a puppy had been born and did not make it. We keep a fence around her nesting box to keep the other dogs away from her. They all get along great, but when the puppies come, none of the other dogs are allowed near them! Good luck, its a great experience!

Here is our Guinevere looking quite proud of her nesting box!

Thanks, I've been working on the whelping pen, or nesting box, for awhile now. I should be done this weekend, which is cutting it close.

What breed is Guinevere?

We are about ten days away from having our first litter of puppies and my wife is losing her mind. She has gone full crazy on having to have a camera to watch them when she is at work, or more importantly, to watch the mom to see if she's going into labor, so she can leave work and be home with her.

This morning I stopped her from buying a $160 camera that also feeds dogs treats because Bobby Bones mentioned it on his radio show. He said that his favorite thing to do is watch his dogs on his Iphone during the day. So I'm tying to figure out what we need, and not pay for what we don't need.

She has AT&T with an IPhone. I think it's a 8 or a 10, but I'd have to double check to be sure if that mattered. She want's to be able to watch our girl who is in a room away from the other dogs, with her own doggy door and fenced off yard that she can come and go from whenever she wants.

Ring is the one that I've heard of the most, but that doesn't mean it's the best. Just that it's the most advertised.

Who has what, and do you recommend it? We just need a single indoor camera for now that she can watch on her Iphone.

Thank you.

Any camera that REQUIRES the internet to operate gets zero stars in my books. If your idea of security is leaving your keys in the door, the door wide open and your wallet on the doorstep then go for it.

I just picked up a cheap IP camera from amazon. As soon as you turn it on it tries to make at least half a dozen back door two way connections to multiple servers in mainland China that bypass your firewall. Block internet access and you cant use your camera on your local area network. I sent it back to Mao.

I finally found the specs for the Wyze Cam on their site, indicating that it requires a minimum 1.0 Mbps upload. They sure make it hard to find that spec. I guess I'm a little too far out in the sticks and don't have internet that fast so I'll have to pass unless somebody else has been able to use it with ADSL. I'm afraid it would hog all of my upload and screw up my network. Maybe in about a hundred years faster internet will be available for me.
