This motion-activated HD camera with floodlights will keep an eye on a large outdoor space, which is ideal if they — or you — want to monitor a car in the driveway or a backyard while away.

Ring Indoor Cam
For the pet-obsessed
This smart camera will let them watch their fur babies nap, eat, and repeat all day long. They can even tell Fido to get off the bed via the Ring app, thanks to Two-Way Talk. The HD video is clear enough to see any poopies on the carpet and the camera plugs in anywhere so they can move it around.
