Not with cameras but my dog Butters is looked after by others during the day and he always goes and waits by a door at the time I leave work. Have kept track with one of his sitters and he is always spot on. If I stop at a shop he relaxes until I am under way again.

I have had a lot of this stuff with my dog. lt started when I saw green flashes every time he needed to go pee. I would turn and see him sitting by the door wanting to go out.

My dog takes care of my cat and cleans her head. I have been trying to get a good photo of that for a long time and was thinking about how to set up the shot one day while he slept in his basket and the cat slept on the back of the sofa. Butters woke, hopped out of his basket, jumped on the sofa and up again onto the back, and started to clean the cats head. Then I thought, what a pity, the light is wrong (hate flash, never use it). So he hopped back down, returned to his basket and continued to sleep.

This sort of thing happens all the time with us. I can either go have myself committed or go with it. I choose to do the latter and as a result I have a unique insight into my dogs mind, and he into mine :-)

Have read Sheldrake, its a great book on the topic.
