We carry our dog around in a TransK9 crate and nothing would make my wife happier than being able to eyeball Bella on a journey. What I’m looking for is a small wide angle camera that I can attach inside the crate, be powered from a cigarette lighter thingy and has the software that can be installed on an iPhone so that she can view said hound wirelessly, Bluetooth maybe? I have the car set up as WiFi hotspot if that helps. I’ve googled endlessly but can’t find anything that fits the bill. Anyone have any ideas? Cheers.

This was my thinking too but they're quite big and expensive for what I need.

Doesn’t meet your specification but

We have a large people carrier

I have mounted a £13 reversing camera pointing at the baby, the monitor is down by the gear stick. Plugs in to fag lighter

Very simple but very effective

Got the camera with 4 leds in it, cover 3.5 of them with nail varnish so it’s not Too bright

Cheap car cam with wifi will do it. One of the Yi or Aukey ones should be reduced with it being prime day
