FEEL SAFER WHILE YOU ARE AWAY WITH WEB CAMS & PET MONITORING SYSTEMS

Thanks to advances in technology, web cams are more affordable and easier to operate than a decade ago. With more people working long hours or traveling for their jobs and missing spending time with their at-home pets, web cameras serve many purposes: 

• To visually check in on pets any time of the day via laptops, desktops, tablets and even smart phones. These “pet peeks” can offer visual clues as to why a pet has a behavior issue, such as house soiling, destructive chewing or clawing, vocalization or separation anxiety. 
• To keep tabs on who enters and leaves the home, how long they stay and which room they enter. 
• To serve as a less-expensive option to home alarm systems. Some web cams can be set up to deliver alerts on smart phones when movement is detected in the house. 
• To be paired with motion detection and dusk-to-dawn outside lighting to act as deterrents for would-be burglars.

Given the choice, most pet parents would prefer to have their pets with them at all times, but that is not possible. Tapping into this love of pets, companies are creating web cams and two-way interactive wireless pet monitoring systems. 

Here are a few of the popular products: 

• Motorola Scout 1500: Retailing at $100-$199.99, this system features indoor and outdoor video cameras that allow people away from their homes to view, listen and speak to their pets via a wireless 3.5-inch color monitor. The cameras can be remotely controlled to pan, tilt and zoom. The system also has the capabilities to have the person playback prerecorded music for their pets, record still images and even be programmed to detect any room temperature changes (and alert in case of a house fire, for example). 
• Dropcam: Retailing at $109.99-$199, this web cam enables a person to monitor their at-home pets in high definition via a browser or smartphone application. It has the capacity to dispatch emails and phone alerts to let you know when your pets are behaving and when they are getting into trouble. This Cloudsupported system can be viewed when you are in your home in one room as well as when you are traveling. 
• EyeAnimal Pet Video Camera: Retailing at $72.22-$93.99, this product takes web cams to a different perspective – from the viewpoint of your pet – literally. This small camera is designed to be clip on to a pet’s collar and features a 4 GB storage option. The video camera weighs just 1.2 ounces and works with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. It enables users to see what their pets are doing and what pets see inside the home.

    Sarah Zum Hofe was born in 1987 in St. Louis, MO- and has since then had a love affair with animals!
                                        
    In 2011, Sarah met her husband, Timothy Zum Hofe through eHarmony, and after 2 years of courtship, they were married in 2013. 

    In 2013 they adopted their first dog, a Morkie, i.e., part Maltese and part Yorkie. They named her Lacy Loo and she is now 6 years old. 

    They bought their first house in 2013, and they now live in Perryville, MO. 

    Timothy has been teaching at Saxony Lutheran High School for 12 years. He teaches religion and social studies and is currently in school to get his master's degree. 

    Sarah Zum Hofe is the founder of Pet First Pet Care, which was established in 2008. 

    Pet First Pet Care opened in St. Louis, and now has another location in Perryville, MO, where the owner currently resides. Pet First Pet Care will continue to expand with new locations across the United States. 

    Sarah has been working professionally with animals for 14 years, since the age of 18. She has been a pet care associate at big chain pet stores and a veterinary technician, and in 2008, finally found her calling and true passion as owner of Pet First Pet Care.
