I decided to purchase a $40 “live feed” camera from HD the other day. It’s a “Yi” brand. I put it facing my wood stove. Mainly, so when I roll over in the middle of the night I can simply pick up my phone, click on the app, and I can see how the stove is doing. I can even zoom in and see what temp it’s at. This would also work while your away from home if you need the piece of mind to know all is well. You can turn the camera on and off simply by pressing a button in the app. I leave mine off unless I’m checking on it. It literally takes 2 seconds to load. Just a little trick I thought I would share if anyone else like me needs that piece of mind every now and then that all is well with the stove. I attached a screenshot of the camera, the night vision is on due to the late hour. The HD image in the daytime is awesome quality. I think it’s well worth the $40 investment
Neat idea

I have the same thing for my garage wood stove. So much nicer than getting out of bed or off couch to check.
Wyze camera $20 even has motion alert, sound alert, temperature, and smoke alarm.
