A numptie "what webcam" for watching my puppy question
Discussion
As per the title really.
I'm looking for a simple solution to allow me (and Mrs R of course) to have a camera in our indoor dog run area to spy on our new puppy. There is a power point in there and the area is within range of the home wifi. We'd like to be able to use iphones (and pc if that's possible?) to log in and see what he is up to. No need to record anything.
My go-to for asking numptie techie questions and just being told what to get used to be Maplins but the shop has closed. I found this https://www.maplin.co.uk/ezviz-mini-o-plus-1080p-i... on their website which seems to do what I want but I'm a bit out of my depth so would like to just make sure.
Thanks

Loads of cheap indoor WiFi security cameras on Amazon that will do this.
I've got a Yatwin one, it's a cheapo generic Chinese thing but works well. 1080p resolution, automatic IR illumination for night time, accepts an SD card for recording but works perfectly well without. Accessible from an Android or iPhone app. Can be remotely panned and tilted as well which is useful.

We have a couple of these, and used specifically when we got a puppy and they are brilliant. Just £30 from Amazon, and you can view with Danale app on a mobile device (note no Mac OS software seems to be available but possibly Windows is). They even have talk back function (great for winding up the dog or kids when you are abroad!!).

Worth noting that they are rubbish for seeing out through widows at night though, as the IR illumination for night vision just reflects back of the glass.

If you don't mind paying you could try a Furbo Dog Camera - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Furbo-Dog-Camera-2-Way-Au...
Alerts, barking sensor, treat dispenser, 2 way so you can talk to your pup. iOS and Android app.

Can be viewed from PC or a mobile phone, night vision, speaker and mic (so you can 'talk' to the dog when you are out).
Can also be setup for motion activated recording, but we don't bother. I'll definitely be getting another for the garage.

Thanks to everyone. I love the idea of one that dispenses treats but worry that my 2 GSDs might eat the camera rather than wait for the treats 
I've ordered one of the above so hopefully it will be idiot proof
