Keep a Close Eye on Your Pets with a Pet Camera
Looking for a pet surveillance camera or home security system to watch your dogs while you are at work? Or maybe an interactive monitor with a treat dispenser? Then you’ve come to the right place! We’ve been testing the best pet cameras on the market that will not only keep your pets safe, but entertained while you’re out of the house or at work. With high definition video and audio feeds, real time tracking and smart activation – pet cameras also make excellent home security systems, allowing you to keep a watchful eye on your house, children and pets 24/7.
When it comes to identifying the best pet camera, here are a couple to consider:
- Audio or 2-Way Audio
- Remote Viewing on your Smartphone
- Decent Night Vision
- Motion Detection
- Pan, Zoom and Tilt features
We have roped in our furry friends to test the Best Pet Cameras of July, 2019, just for you.
1) Lovoom Pet Camera
Overview
We love the chic design of this rose/gold pet camera. Ideal for cats and dogs, this camera comes with 2-way audio; pan zoom and kibble toss play for entertaining your pets.
What We Like
The camera quality is crystal clear and the 180 degree rotation and 4 x zoom will ensure that you can see your pet at all times. The audio is clear and you can access everything from your smartphone. A simple remote controller is also added in case your smartphone is unavailable. The treat idea is genius, and is a fun way to keep our beloved pets entertained. You can adjust the distance of the treat shooting mechanism (3-10ft), keeping your cat or dog active during the day. This pet camera comes with a 1-year guarantee.
What Needs Improving
The Lovoom takes a bit of setting up, and initially it wouldn’t connect, but we persevered and finally sorted it out.

- KIBBLE TOSSING PLAY: You can find or call your pet via the Lovoom iOS/Android app. Fill Lovoom feeder cup with pet KIBBLES and TOSS to your pet. Also Lovoom lets you adjust the distance (approx. 3 to 10 feet) and direction to make your pet extremely active.
2) TOOGE Pet Camera
Overview
This has a very 7o’s space age style, and you feel like it’s watching your every move when you’re at home. But for a pet camera it’s sturdy, well made and with clear instructions.
What We Like
Setting this up was straightforward and took us less than 10 minutes. The picture quality is up there with the best, and the user interface is simple to use.
What Needs Improving
The camera makes little noises as it rotates. We’ve looked at it and added a smear of grease, but it still clicks. As you place it in the right part of the house, it won’t bother you.

Kamtron’s camera is smart, slick and sophisticated. It’s well made, and sits discreetly.

Both the image and audio quality are second to none, and we had great fun calling the dogs via its 2 way audio. The range of vision is a massive 360, with infa red for sneaky night time viewing.

Overview
For the high end price paid, this camera offers a 2-way video chat system and a unique pet friendly round cornered design for peace of mind. The quality feels a step up from its competitors, which makes the extra cost worthwhile.
What We Like
This camera has all the features you’d expect from other good pet cameras, and more. The video and sound quality is fantastic, and the Pet Watch video recording option worked without a hitch. The treat function is great and easy to control.
What Needs Improving
The only drawback with this pet camera is that you have to use the treats supplied by the company. If your dog or cat is prone to allergies, it’s important to check the nutritional suitability beforehand.
