This camera lets you check in on your homebody while you're letting your adventurous one burn off energy on the sprawling hillsides.

If you have a backyard and your dog loves spending time outside while you visit other parks, this camera is essential. Picture this: you're at Fish Creek Provincial Park exploring the extensive trail system with your hiking-enthusiast dog, but you've left your older dog at home in the backyard because they prefer familiar territory. With this outdoor camera, you can check that they're not barking at squirrels or getting too hot on a sunny day. Calgary's weather can change dramatically - if a sudden storm rolls in while you're out, you'll get motion alerts and can see if your dog is seeking shelter or needs to come inside. The two-year battery life means it'll reliably work through multiple Calgary winters without needing attention.

The auto-tracking feature is perfect for monitoring active puppies or young dogs who zoom around the house.
