I want to be able to monitor my DH when I work,which is only 4hrs 2 or 3 days a week, otherwise he is always with me. So if any one has one what kind? I really need it simple to connect to my phone:)

    I recently helped my neighbor with a camera. Amazon has many under $20. that easily connect to your phone through an app. It took us five minutes, you just turn it on and connect.

    Goggle nest cameras are what I have inside and outside. They work on phone and tablet very well. Sends alerts and records when it detects movement.

    Alfred camera turns an old cell phone into a security camera. The app is free and it easily connects to your cellphone.

    I have a Kassa camera from Amazon. I like it because I can set it to track motion so it covers a big area.

    I bought several Ring cameras from Amazon. Two could tilt, all could swivel. One in the bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen. They easily link to your phone and laptop.

    I had Arlo cameras. Still do and don't really know what to do with them now. They were so helpful to have.

    We have used Ring, Nest, and Motorola. They are all relatively easy to connect. I like Ring the best.

    Baby monitor. Best purchase I ever made. I had two cameras. Both accessible from my phone. Not cheap but worth every penny.

    I recently installed the Blink camera in two areas of the house. These will either record or just monitor.

    They have given me a great deal of relief, in that I can keep an eye on her without causing her any distress or to be confused.

    That said, I installed them when she was not around or in the area. My belief is that would only cause her more stress.

    Hope this helps.
