I'm looking for a game/security camera that I can connect to my cell service and use to monitor my truck remotely through my iPhone, anybody know anything about this type of setup? I'm a techno neophyte. If the camera also had temperature monitoring that would be cool. Basically I want to be able to monitor from my iPhone my hounds and people who might be messing with them when they are in my dog box in the truck and I am elsewhere.
I like the idea too. I would think to connect to your phone the camera would have to be within distance of a wifi connection. If the truck was parked in the driveway and your homes wifi could reach the camera then your cell phone could get the signal from anywhere you are.
Most camera builders offer cellular models now. Spypoint has several models. SPYPOINT Trail Cameras Best Wireless Trail Camera Review
I was thinking more for public areas, like a store parking lot on the way to the trailhead or maybe even work so I could hit the trail on the way home.

I'm more worried about the hounds reaction should someone take interest, I don't think they'd get too far. I also don't want the dogs in a stressful situation too long should there be some sort of stimulus close enough to the truck for the hounds to notice. I'd also like to know should a scuffle break out. The temp monitoring sure would be nice, right now I'm getting about a 10 degree rise from ambient inside the box when the truck is in direct sun, that's with the cap side windows open and the back door of the cap open. I was surprised that the temp rise wasn't more, the cap is black, the box is wooden under the cap.
