What do you use to keep an eye on your outside tort kids while you're at work or out of town? Security camera? Game cam? Nothing, you worry about their privacy?

I've seen a couple different threads about this subject. Quite a few members watch their tortoises while at work and on their computer at work. Hopefully someone will respond to your thread.

Nothing. A neighbour keeps an eye on Joe when we're on vacation, but that's it.

A wifi enabled webcam might help, but would you be in a position to do anything if there was a problem?

I have a Night Owl system. It was just for the house, but now that the torts are outside, I have a couple of cameras aimed that way also. I can check it from anywhere on my phone or a computer.

I have a couple neighbors that help when we go away. I'd call one of them. I really just want to peek in on them from time to time. You know just to make sure they're behaving. ;)

I have 2 Nest outdoor cameras attached to my indoor enclosure. I can see every move they make.
