PawsCam is basically a wearable GoPro for your pet that wirelessly uploads video to the cloud

By
PawsCam is a wireless camera that allows you to see what your dog is doing no matter where you are. Setup and registration is a simple process, and after you’re done you attach PawsCam to your dog’s collar. Motion and light sensors in the camera will detect when your dog is doing something interesting, record a short six second video clip, and upload it wirelessly to a free cloud service that you can view from any connected device.

PawsCam is small and light enough that most dogs won’t mind wearing it, but it might be a little uncomfortable or awkward for a dog that’s the size of a cat. The camera is water and dust resistant, and battery life lasts between 4 to 5 days on a single charge. The camera is only 480p, and can be a little shaky on a moving dog. But seeing what your dog is up to during the day is a nice escape when you’re at work. The whole experience helps you feel more connected to your dog.

The excellent intermediate Canon EOS R10 camera is $86 off at Walmart today
Canon EOS R10 camera mirrorless with STM lens attached and flash up

I recently grabbed a Canon EOS R50 bundle for a trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research before I made my decision, sifting through the best camera deals, and the two options I essentially narrowed down were the R50 and the EOS R10. The biggest difference between the two is that the R10 gives you more granular control over some of the photoshoot settings. R50, on the other hand, was designed assuming you'll mostly use the automatic shooting modes. That's a great option for novices, while the R10 is better for intermediate to more skilled photographers. Why am I telling you all of this? Because the excellent Canon EOS R10 camera is on sale at Walmart for Black Friday, discounted by $86 to $760 instead of $846. It is one of the better early Black Friday camera deals I've found so far. It comes with an 18-45mm lens. Needless to say, that's a great deal. Comparatively, the R10 with body only -- no lens -- is .
