had a friend who mentioned they had a cat who hid her kittens and they could not find them … so they got a motion camera collar for the cat … takes a pic every 30 seconds … put it on the mother, then uploaded it later to their PC when the cat came back … saw all kinds of interesting pics from the roof and fence … saw the kittens and figgered out they were in a room over the garage and they got them out safely.
