Huntia Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hi I have recently put a deposit down for a trailer :) . I am wanting to put a camera and temperature monitoring system in it that will feed back to my i-phone. What are other people using? What brands etc, and recommendations? Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntia Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks Team Snag :) I didn't think much would happen besides sleeping, it is more for peace of mind. I am really wanting to somehow remotely monitor the temperature in the trailer both whilst travelling and when parked. And if I could get the temp to report to my phone somehow that would be a bonus!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spotted Devil Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Not an iPhone app but I do have an indoor/outdoor temp station for the rear of my car - I keep the indoor thermometer and reader in a front compartment so it's easy to check. It has enough of a range that I can leave the dogs in the car, take the reader with me and keep an eye on the temp from a cafe, for example. I bought it pretty cheaply in the US.

puppy_dawgs Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) sorry must have gotten distracted this morning lol http://www.eurohorseware.com/apps/webstore/products/show/3362564 a few of my friends use them for their floats and say they are great. i assume it would be no different in a dog trailer.

Shepherd Lover Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) We put a reversing camera in our float. It does the job (cost around $130). We also bought a weather station for just over $100 and put the receiver inside the float and the reader in the car. It took a while to find the right spot (front of float) for it to work properly but now it works well. We get a temperature report from inside the float. They don't feed to an I-phone but at least we can monitor while travelling. Edited to add: The reversing camera works with a plug into the cigarette lighter. The weather station works with AA batteries - one in each unit. Edited May 29, 2013 by Shepherd Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntia Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 I think this is what I will do too Shepherd Lover. I just really liked the idea of having it all feed back to my phone. There's an idea for all those tech savvy people out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
