I'm hoping the experts here can advise over a somewhat delicate family situation.
My wife's mother and aunt are elderly and suffer from fairly advanced dementia. They just about manage on their own, with daily visits from various people. (They really should be in a home, but at present are absolutely refusing this option.)
A man has taken to visiting them. He scarpered fastish when someone called the other day. We suspect he's after money, and jewellery has disappeared, though the old ladies' confusion could easily mean they have hidden, or lost the said items.
My brother- and sister-in-law are the main carers and are wondering if they can install a spycam which can monitor the home in real time. They live about a mile from the old ladies' flat.
Here's the question: does the spycam need wi-fi in the flat, or is there such a thing as a camera that can transmit a signal that can monitored without - e.g. with a mobile phone?
I suspect wi-fi is required, but I hope someone can confirm. Is it necessary also to have a computer in the flat, for the camera to talk to?
In addition, please add any bright ideas you have - a bit of lateral thinking here might be good.
As ever, my thanks in advance.
