An apparatus for monitoring at least a part of an animal related space (18) comprises a controllable device (2, 22) and at least one image capturing device (14, 15) for generating and supplying captured image data regarding said animal related space. According to the invention, the image capturing device (14, 15) is associated with a communications port (24) connectible to a telecommunications network (26), a remote control device (28) is associated with a further communications port (30) connectible to said telecommunications network (26). The image capturing device (14, 15) is connectable to said remote control device (28) via said telecommunications network (26) and the remote control device (28) is adapted to receive said captured image data. The remote control device (28) is provided with a display unit (32) for allowing viewing of said captured image data. A data input means (34) is associated with said remote control device (28), for entering a control instruction. The remote control device (28) is adapted to output said control instruction via said further communications port (30), and the controllable device (2, 22) is arranged to be interactively manipulated by said remote control device (28) in response to said control instruction. |
