When I first brought my puppy home I set up a Raspberry Pi with a Camera module to spy on him during the day. I had it stream to a private YouTube channel, but there's no reason it couldn't stream to anywhere you like.

You could also use the IR camera and a good enough IR lamp to give you coverage at night as well. Use a PIR if you want motion sensing added on.

The "streaming to a private YouTube channel" is great outside the box thinking.

A private youtube channel is "private" to you and alphabet/youtube employees. I guess using your channel to check up on your puppy is fine, but you shouldn't expect privacy in your private channel.

Was the puppy doing something interesting while alone?

Puppies left alone destroy homes, worlds and galaxies, so he surely done something interesting. ;)

Must have been fun sitting at work watching all your wallpaper getting ripped off.

Reminds me of the time we were racing home from the store, watching our movie collection being eaten.
