How Can I Check on My Elderly Parents From Another City or Country?
Quick answer

A simple setup works best: a Wi-Fi camera in the living area, a panic button within reach, a door sensor to see who comes and goes, and a smartwatch or phone for calls. Agree it with your parents, keep cameras out of bedrooms and bathrooms, and make sure the power and internet stay on.
