A Cuban residing in Miami has taken TikTok by storm by showing how she can watch her house in Cuba in real-time, thanks to a camera system she installed and controls from abroad. Her video, shared by the user @adianetttt, has gone viral among Cubans both on and off the island, eliciting surprise, nostalgia, and many questions.

In the clip, the young woman shows how the sunrise looks from her home in Cuba through various security cameras placed at different points around the property. "What a beautiful sunrise in Cubita, folks," she wrote excitedly alongside the video, which quickly filled with comments from users eager to learn her secret.

Amid the flood of questions, the creator explained that the system operates with cameras connected to a router with a rechargeable phone line from Miami, which allows her to maintain an active connection even during power outages. She also mentioned that she has an EcoFlow device that keeps the cameras recording when the power goes out. “It’s a process, but it’s worth it 100%,” she commented proudly.

The ingenuity of the Cuban woman awoke admiration and warmth in the community, especially among those who also have family or property in Cuba. “Oh, I want that so I can see my grandparents,” wrote a user. Others praised the idea and asked her to create a tutorial to replicate the system.

The video, recorded with a mix of emotion and pride, has become one of the most talked-about among Cubans on social media. Beyond the technological curiosity, it reflects the need to stay connected with home and roots, even if it's only through a screen.
