Suggestions for puppy/dog monitor

k3lvc

Our 8wk old Cockapoo is settling in nicely with our daughter having slept downstairs with it for past days since it's arrival. A good routine with 11pm wee, cage door closed, 3am murmur then 6am wee.

Over coming days I can see daughter wanting to move back into her room but she still wants to be responsible

Any suggestions on suitable monitors for the room that'll pick up sound/significant movement ?

A baby monitor would do.

And Amazon etc is full of them - just wondering whether there were any specific recommendations on what to look for/avoid

Look for a device with a two-way audio so you could talk to your buddy.

We have a baby monitor for a baby but it's great

It's a vava off Amazon. I think it was about £120 and it has a zoom function, moves left right up and down with a button on the monitor. It also has two way audio. The volume goes very loud and our baby's movement in cot wakes me up if on loud so should be ok for a dog. Also has an option to darken/brighten the screen so if you don't any it too bright at night you can adjust it. This particular one isn't showing as Available on my link but you can read the info and try and find an equivalent by another seller

I ended up picking up one of these from Amazon

Littlelf Wifi Camera,Baby Monitor IP Camera 1080P: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

All controllable from any of the family's phone - great pic quality, and more than acceptable 2 way sound

No. It's a baby monitor with a two way voice function. Doesn't have a radio feature.

I use little elf smart camera. You can see the pup on your phone and can talk to him. It's got a brilliant picture aswell. It is very sensitive with movement so we did turn our notifications off because my phone was always going off but I have piece of mind that when I'm in bed or out I can check on my pup.
