I Hired a New Employee for $25/Month and Honestly…I Feel Kind of Bad About It.

Look, I’m all for paying people a fair wage. I respect hard work. I value loyalty. And I try to treat my team right.

But recently, I hired a new "employee" to keep an eye on things at my remote property... and I’m only paying him $25 a month.

I know. It sounds bad. And the worst part? He’s the best worker I’ve ever had.

He Never Calls in Sick

Rain, snow, sleet, blazing sun — doesn’t matter. He’s up and running 24/7. While the rest of us are sleeping, he’s out there, standing watch like a solar-powered soldier. Never complains. Never even blinks.

Honestly, it’s kind of unsettling.

He Doesn’t Ask for Overtime

The guy works nights, weekends, and holidays without so much as a grumble. Christmas morning? Still on duty. Fourth of July? Watching the fireworks and the back fence.

He Doesn’t Eat, Drink, or Take Breaks

I’ve never seen him check his phone. I’ve never caught him scrolling TikTok. He doesn’t even have a chair. He just perches up high, scanning the area like some kind of all-seeing robot hawk.

And when motion happens? BAM. He's on it. Sends me a notification like, “Hey boss, just thought you should know someone walked by the east gate at 3:42 a.m.”

Thanks, buddy. You're making the rest of us look bad.

He Saves Me Time, Gas, and Stress

Before he came along, I was driving out to the property every time I had a bad feeling or couldn’t remember if I locked something. Now I just check the app. Live video, saved recordings, shared access for my team—it’s like having a security department in my pocket.

So yes, I’m saving hours of time and hundreds of dollars a month.

And he gets twenty-five bucks.

I Should Probably Give Him a Raise... But I Won’t

Because he’s not a person. He’s my AnywhereCam Eagle 4G.

Solar-powered. 4G cellular connection. No Wi-Fi or power needed. Just set him up, subscribe, and let him handle things like the absolute legend he is.

If you’re looking for the best employee you’ve never had to interview, train, or motivate—this is it.

AnywhereCam: No power? No Wi-Fi? No problem.

And no PTO requests either.
