I would like to use my ipad 3 as a camera and link it to my laptop (Windows Cool so that I can find out what my dog is up to when home alone. Is this possible and would I be able to view live video or just still shots? Thanks in advance

I did it with Kindle

I used Ispy and/or IP camera viewer software and then you just need to know your IP address of your ipad. I did it with kindle in the same house. You would have to get some remote software to get into your wireless. (Teamviewer should do it)
