It’s the evening, it’s been raining all day, it’s horrible outside. Smriti says she needs to go check on the horses to make sure they have some hay if they want it. No chance of me going outside in this, and I feel I should help her avoid it to!
Luckily we have a security camera on the house with a pan / tilt / zoom function. I bought this one specifically with a long zoom so we could check the field from the luxury of a dry sofa on a raining evening.
We have the cameras linked up to the TV’s and Amazon Alexa so we can turn on the TV to see what’s going on and ask Alexa to move the camera if needed, awesome.
Geek details: Camera is a Dahua SD49225T-HN which has a 25x zoom and low light capability so we can see at night. All connected to a Blue Iris security server to record and control the cameras.
