It's Friday and while most of us are sitting at work, the Wall Street Journal has an interesting article today on how people are enjoying their vacation home through virtual means.
Utilizing an inexpensive webcam set up on a computer in their second home, these folks are able to monitor their beloved vacation home. Not only does it help inspire daydreaming about spending time at the beach or lake, WSJ reporter June Fletcher also notes that many people are using webcams as an inexpensive home monitoring system.
While I'm not lucky enough to have a second home, I think I'll go out and purchase a webcam for my house. I've always wondered what exactly my dog does all day at home.

As CEO of Rogo.com, one of the companies mentioned in the article I must say we were thrilled that the WSJ chose to highlight Rogo’s webcam video surveillance system.
Many people use Rogo to watch their vacation home. But we find that at only $10.95 per month people are using Rogo to keep an eye on their dog or cat (or teenagers) when they are at work!
Many people use the Rogo motion detection system to email a picture to their cell phone when something moves.
Rogo records days worth of images, can be seen anytime from any web enabled cell phone (or computer browser) and runs in the background on your computer. We developed Rogo let people get more mileage out of the computer, fast connection, and cell phone service they are already paying for.
You can try if for 30 days free. Check out the website.
