Pet Cameras
Looking for a pet surveillance camera or security system to watch your dogs while you are at work? Or maybe an interactive monitor with a treat dispenser? Or even one to spy on your dog sitter?
What are the useful features that your pet camera should possess? Here are a couple to consider:
- Audio or 2-Way Audio – allows you to reassure your beloved pooch, kitten, or the dog sitter!
- Remote Viewing on your Smartphone
- Decent Night Vision
- Motion Detection
- Pan, Zoom, Tilt features
We have roped in our furry friends to sample the best selling pet cameras of September, 2018, just for you.
1) Furbo Dog Camera
Overview
This seems to be well made, nicely designed, and able to provide peace of mind when we’re out at work all day. The treat shooting mechanism is a nice addition!
What We Like
We love the dog selfie technology; when your pooch is facing the screen, the camera recognises this and takes a selfie, resulting in the cutest natural looking shots.
The treat idea is genius, and is a fun way to keep our beloved pets entertained.
What Needs Improving
The Furbo takes a bit of setting up, and initially it wouldn’t connect, but we persevered and finally sorted it out.

- Fun TREAT TOSSING: TOSS a treat to your dogs via the free Furbo iOS/Android app. Fill it with over 100 pieces of your dogs' favorite treats & play a game of catch.
- 1080p Camera & Night Vision: livestream video to monitor your pet with a 160º wide-angle view, day and night.
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 dog cam it’s sturdy, well made and with clear instructions.
What We Like
Setting this up was so easy – 5 minutes tops, the picture quality is superb, 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. This disturbs the dogs a bit, but as long as you place it in the right part of the house, it won’t bother you.

3) Petcube Pet Camera
Overview
Petcube’s camera is smart, slick and sophisticated. It’s well made, and our only very minor complaint is that it is quite large.
What We Like
Both the image and audio quality are second to none, and we had great fun calling the dogs, and flinging treats at them remotely.
What Needs Improving
This camera is really complicated to set up, and that caused some frustration along the way. Also, the treats that came with it were not appreciated by our ungrateful pups, so we tried other brands and finally found one they liked – spherical treats seem to work best for flinging long distance!

- 1080p HD VIDEO and NIGHT VISION: check on your pet when away from home. 1080p HD video with 138° wide angle view. See up close with 3x zoom.

4) PetChatz HD Pet Camera
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 bear this in mind and check the nutritional value.

5) Wireless Security Camera For Pets
Overview
Looking like a friendly domed robot, this little camera feels robust and solid, and has a very fair price.
What We Like
This is an impressive piece of kit; it does everything we want it to do. The video is clear, the sound excellent with the 2-way audio and the whole thing rotates 360 degrees!
What Needs Improving
This camera has quite a limited range when it comes to throwing treats, but we soon got used to it.
