“How do I track what my dog is doing online, using a webcam” is probably how it is being interpreted.

That is because the question was structured a little bit awkwardly and AI isn’t smart enough to understand the question’s real intent.

It boils down to using grammar effectively. I would try something like: “How do I use a webcam to remotely monitor my dog” or something along those lines.

For what it’s worth, learning to restructure questions into more concise statements also really helps you get better results from search engines.

Edit* some proofreading and fixes

It’s ok, I asked my dog and it explicitly consented.

Still no? Alright, let me put the dog on.

This is the dog, I don’t mind being monitored. Go ahead and explain it to the human.
