Hi, we have taken on a lovely 13month old Staffy. Im looking for a way to watch him from my android phone whilst he is left in the car for brief periods. Hes quite a nervous gentle lump and i would be a bit upset if I come back to find no steering wheel ( this happened to us many years ago lol)..we both have android phones and an old i pad..or would happily fork out for a proper bit of kit!

I bought THIS to use as a reversing camera, it works with an android phone. But I'd think parking your car somewhere you can observe it might be easier (and cheaper).

And, I'm sure it goes without saying, but please everyone; be very aware of the risks of leaving a dog in a car, even when it doesn't feel warm to us.

I would Never leave my dogs in a car alone ...it gets very hot quickly even in the shade ..and people Will steal your dog ...alot of car parks where we live have signs stating you are not allowed to leave your dogs in the car alone ...just to be aware also if your dog injuries itself inside a car some insurances will not pay out ....personally I would rather leave my dog at home....

Ought to be a T! This is an awesome feature from what I heard - essentially climate control is active while the car is parked with no humans inside. At the same time, some of the states (in US) have laws prohibiting leaving dogs inside cars with no humans.

Thanks for the explanation but - sorry - what does that mean?
