I had only around a half hour to waste. I opened Amazon on my phone. I saw an indoor net camera selling for under $US 20 and clicked to buy. A previous cheap webcam stopped working a few years ago. This one was offered as same-day delivery. In the evening, while I was watching TV, it arrived and I unboxed it. I also plugged it in, put in an SD card and installed the Tapo app on my phone.
After breakfast this morning, I stuck the device on top of the curio cabinet. I ensured that it pointed so the rotation allows a commanding view of the living room. We go grocery shopping on Saturdays. I opened the app in the Coquitlam store and was assured that nothing was going on in the apartment without us.
