But we’re right there with you, fellow pet lovers. We found the best pet cameras for you (and us) based on consumer reviews and star ratings, put them all in a neat list, and highlighted their unique features. We also have honorable mentions below based on our experience with indoor security cameras. Let’s find the best pet cam for you and your family at home. With this little camera, you’ll get alerts on your phone when your cat struts by. You can also talk to your dog with the two-way audio and get a live view of your hamsters running on the wheel in their cage. But speaking of live viewing, consumers have said you can only watch a few minutes of live video if you don’t have the Blink subscription plan. Blink throws in a free 30-day trial when you buy their cameras, and plans start at $3 per month after that. Not only are the subscription plans on the lower end, but Blink hooks you up with some deals if you buy more than one. Keep in mind that prices change often and sometimes daily. One day the 2-pack was $65, then the next day, there was a deal on two for the price of one. Check on your pet and home with the HD live streaming video, get notifications when your pet walks in front of the camera, and enjoy 30 feet of night vision. This camera also has two-way communication, so you can tell your pup to stop chewing on the corner of the couch. Hopefully, they actually listen. And, now, for the best part about this app: the built-in vet chat. If you capture any suspicious behavior from your Ragdoll, you can speak with a professional vet through the Petcube app any time of the day. We really like how you can save yourself some time and money—and a stressful situation for your pup—by speaking to a vet in the Petcube app before going to a clinic. Pet owners will want a Petcube Care membership (starting at $6 per month) for the vet feature, motion alerts, and three days of video recording storage space. This pet camera has upgraded video resolution with 2K to view clear video, night vision, and motion and sound detection. You can even use the Kasa home security cam as a baby monitor. A feature that consumers are enthusiastic about is its SD compatibility. You can order a membership for Cloud storage or use an SD card to record and store everything for free. A few consumers also said they had issues connecting their Kasa cam to their internet, but others said they connected their camera in five minutes. So, we’d just recommend setting aside some time for the setup process, just in case. The motion detection feature specifically stands out on this pet camera because it will move and follow your dog or cat when they walk by. This Eufy camera’s AI also only records when a human or pet is present so you don’t have to sift through video. Enjoy the pan and tilt to see every angle of your home, talk to your beagle with the two-way audio and watch your fish tank with crisp 2K video. This Eufy camera advertises Apple HomeKit integration, but many consumers said this camera was hard to connect and some features were disabled once connected. But others were happy that they didn’t need the Eufy app at all when they successfully connected their camera to Apple HomeKit. Not only does the Furbo have all of the features that the other cameras have (two-way audio, night vision, etc.), but it also has a feature no other security cam has: it tosses out treats! Just fill the camera with your pet’s favorite treats and use the Furbo app to release them. This is particularly great if you’d like to distract your dog from anxiety behavior, such as pacing or licking, or if you just want to give them a treat because they’re cute. The Furbo camera also has a barking sensor, so you can receive a notification when your German shepherd is barking at the UPS deliverer or a cat strutting in front of the window. Let’s be real: the Furbo is pretty pricey compared to the other $35–$55 cams. But if you’re like my Dad, you’ll find the extra $150 is worth watching your Puggle eat his treat while you’re away from home daily. The Eufy Indoor Cam is small, inexpensive, and delivers video in 2K resolution, but it doesn’t move horizontally or vertically. The Nest Cam has a 135º diagonal field of view, comes in colors that blend in with your home (white, tan, light brown, gray), and your video will be safe with Google. You’ll just have to budget $100, but the blendable colors of the home camera might be what you’re looking for. The Simplisafe Indoor Camera is the same price as the Nest Cam, but Simplisafe is our second favorite home security system. You can live stream and talk to your pets, and you can also enjoy affordable home security.
