If you can hide a laptop somewhere any usb webcam will do.
There is plenty of software for free on the internet which will make the webcam only record when it detects movment aswell.

Assuming you have a wireless network you can hook up an ip camera. OcUK might sell them dont think they do.
Not sure its such a great idea, would just see how much dog food is left.

haha, install a camera then it seems a fairly expensive and extreme way to fix this problem.

I somehow doubt your son will be too please by its presence.

What so funny?
Then he shouldnt be feeding my dog.
And he does have to clean up the aftermath of the dog barfing up.

Why not just tell him not to feed the dog? :S

Sorry still laughing, your trying to control your son using cameras, make it clear and have punishment eg. cleaning it up if he breaks the rules.

My dog normally eats its vomit.

Oh I get it, you dont want your son to feed the dog, all this time I thought you checking he was, my bad

There's plenty of software for USB cameras that monitors the camera and only starts filming when something moves in its view.
I have something like this installed on my Mac, I can select an area using a paint-brush-like tool that allows me to select parts of the view that trigger it to record.
I'm sure if you fish arond there will be something like this somewhere for windoze.

You could always wire your dogs mouth shut so that you know it hasn't eaten anything..

However this might make more problems than it fixes...

We have a winner. Yes i DONT wont my son feeding him anything else then the food ive bought for him. unlike other dog owners i care about what my dog eats.
And people wonder why there dog has tumers and dont live that long.

Average age for a dog should be 15-20 years not 10-12 years
My staffy was 16 when he died.
