How can I watch my dog while I'm at work?
Leave a compatible spare phone or iPad at home in Call Pet Monitor mode and use your iPhone or iPad as the Controller at work. You can check the live view, talk to your dog, use supported two-way video, and—on supported Apple builds—review local Monitor recordings.
