Perm Family Trains Mischievous Corgi Using Smart Camera
Previously, the dog struggled with loneliness.
Modern video surveillance systems are no longer just a «peephole» for security. They are multifunctional tools that solve the most unexpected everyday tasks. A prime example is the story of the Zamerin family and their Corgi named Yermak. The couple leaves for work every day, leaving Yermak alone in the house. The dog is active, sociable, and struggled with loneliness. The time when it gets dark outside becomes particularly anxious for him. Then Yermak starts whining, and then, trying to entertain himself, proceeds to «dismantle» the owners« property — slippers, rugs, and everything that came his way go into action.
A smart surveillance camera with two-way audio helps stay connected with a pet.
Solution: A Smart Camera Instead of a Strict Trainer
The Zamerin family decided to install a smart surveillance camera in their apartment with a set of key functions: a motion sensor with zone configuration — the camera records activity only in the area of the doormat and in the hallway, ignoring movement outside the window; night mode with infrared lighting to know what«s happening even at dusk; notifications about important events and most importantly — two-way audio communication.
«The effect was amazing. Within a couple of weeks, Yermak became much more obedient. He seems to have learned that the owners are »always in touch«. The slippers remained intact, and our peace of mind for him is priceless. Sometimes we just open the »Smart Home« mobile app to talk to him affectionately while he chews on a toy. He wags his tail and calms down,» shares the owner Sofia Zamerina.
Installing and setting up video surveillance system was not difficult: all devices are ready to work immediately after unpacking. You just need to choose a suitable place for the camera, connect it to Wi-Fi, and it will start working.
Result: Peace and Order
Notifications. As soon as Yermak started tearing up the owners« slippers and running around the room, the sensor was triggered. The owners» smartphones instantly received a notification: «Motion detected.»
Activation and reaction. Sofia or her husband would open the mobile app and see the pet«s mischief in real time.
The »educational« moment. Through the camera»s built-in speaker, the owners would say in a stern tone: «Yermak, fie! No!»
The effect. The dog, hearing a familiar voice from nowhere, would first freeze in surprise, and then leave the slipper alone.
