Pet monitoring

[starsite]

Hi Folks, What do you use to monitor your pet while you are out and about. Are there any non-Wi-Fi options? Anything that uses your cell phone?

Thanks!

For my two cats it's making sure there is food and water and clean litter boxes before I leave. I have an auto feeder that works well and I clean the water fountain before leaving for more than 24 hours. There is plenty of water, but there is a fur build up that blocks the flow if not cleared regularly. My home maintains it's temperature very well and I've not had an issue in over 2 years of pet parenting. I was very hesitant to get a pet and did not have one for the first 10 years of full time living. My work could keep me away for up to 24 hours and I didn't trust my first home. My current one has proved it's self since 2013.

We have ring cameras that seem to work pretty well. They connect by wifi to our modem which can get its internet by wifi or by tethering our phone or tablet. There are modems available that have cellular built in.

Amazon has a number of cellular security cameras, but most if not all are solar powered so may not be applicable to an in RV application. A number of hunting supply manufacturers offer cellular trail cameras. Not sure what power options are available.

While we were full time, we used the cell based MarCell power and temperature monitor.  It worked and we still have it at home and take it on the road with us even for short trips.  If the power goes down or the temperature is out of range, it sends a text message to both our cell phones.

After research, we decided to purchase Waggle. It is specifically for RVs. Thanks everyone!
