Hello all,
I would search for this but not sure what to search. I wanted to see if anyone might have a not-too-expensive solution.
My mother in law lives in an assisted living center. She has a private two room unit. One night she woke and her cat was not laying on the bed. She got up to investigate, and found the door in the adjoining room was ajar with the trash can in it and the cat sitting there looking at it. This really freaked her out and none of the staff claim to have done it. She asked us about cameras. I have a Blue Iris system so know what is entailed with that and that would not be a solution here. She has decent Wifi (her own, via her own cable provider) but there is no computer in the room to run software on. Is there any type of camera, even ones we put memory cards in that we can access remotely? I know this isn't a hard thing to set up by my biggest concern is how to deal with the dynamic IP address. What would be ideal, is if she says someone was there, or did something, one of us could look at the recording (and even download it to our own device)
Is this even possible without a computer or NVR? I am guessing perhaps a camera system that works through a cloud service? We are thinking about a two camera system, one for each room.
Thanks in advance folks!
John
