Petcube Cam | Indoor Wi-Fi Pet and Security Camera with Phone App, Pet Monitor with 2-Way Audio and Video, Night Vision, 1080p HD Video and Smart Alerts for Ultimate Home Security

Perfect little camera to keep our eye on our senior boy. Easily accessed through app. Easy to set up. Coverage area is about a 12x12 room. Volume and speaker work well to be able to address your pet while away. Was just what we needed.

I’m submitting an update to this review. I recently moved and my pet cubes were in storage. I pay for the monitoring plan for one of them but not the other. When I unpacked, I only found the one without the plan. I had forgotten which camera had it and which did not. I reached out to customer service to ask if the plan was connected to a WiFi or ip address or what (I don’t know how those things work). They were very responsive and, long story short, transferred the plan to the cube (I haven’t found the other one yet) and gave me a credit for the four months I hadn’t used the cube - they offered this. I did not in any way prompt or ask for a refund they just let me know about it. That is some awesome customer service! Everything was seamless. I loved the product before but now I am definitely purchasing more cubes for other rooms and signing up for the monitoring plan for all of them. I have a lot of respect for a company that goes above and beyond for a customer! This Petcube has exceeding my expectations! I cannot express how happy I am with this purchase! It is easy to set up, easy to use, and has been working exactly as expected. The pic is with night vision. The video quality is excellent and it auto records when it detects movement. The sound quality is excellent. I highly recommend this for anyone that wants to keep an eye on their pet.

**Updated review** - PetCube reached out to me via email after my initial review and return of the camera to try and resolve my issue (would not connect to 2.4g network.) I must admit they are very determined to service their customers! They sent me a new camera free of charge and emailed me almost daily to resolve my issue. I was finally able to get it to connect to my 2.4g network going through several different set up steps. I must admit though I've never had this much trouble connecting a 2.4g device and I have a ton of them in my house already. For their determination to provide excellent customer service I give them 5 stars. For the camera itself I would rate the picture quality at 4 stars considering the low cost for the product it actually is a good resolution (good, not high.) After this experience I would definitely consider their products for any future needs that I may have as I can see they will work hard to make any issues right for their customers. **Initial review from 1/5/23** I've tried numerous times and followed all the manufacturer's troubleshooting tips but it will not connect to wifi (2.4g). I have a ton of 2.4g connected devices in out home and all of them connected with ease. I will be returning this for a different brand. Must be an anomaly based on ALL the great reviews I see here lol...

So far highly impressed with video and sound quality, got a set of two for my apartment and great live coverage. No subscription and can share viewing with multiple accounts so everyone can have eyes, easy set up and will likely order 2 more

This model is such a huge upgrade from their pet cube so if you had that, you’ll definitely like this one! I had the old petcube for about 3 years now and I still use it, but since getting a new baby bird, I needed to get a second camera to monitor it when I wasn’t home, I opted for a brand I knew since my Pet Cube has been good to me. I was so surprised at how small the box it came packaged in was, the camera is soo modern looking now, very sleek design, and with a magnet attached I can put it as high up as my ceiling to get full view of my apartment (haven’t gotten around to that yet but that’s the plan), it’s as sophisticated as a home security camera and allows you to get wide angle view of whatever room you install it. It lets you know if it senses any movement, from humans or animals, so you’ll be able to see it immediately. I cropped the picture above for privacy reasons but you can see how clear the video is even with night vision. The previous model was just a block that sat in one place unless you bought your own tripod, which I ended up doing eventually to get a better angle of where my dogs stay but this model allows me to swivel the head. It would be cool in the future if we can control the swivel through our device but for now you have to set it yourself. Some people mention the subscription to save videos for more than 4 hours, I have never subscribed but I do save videos onto my phone before the 4 hour save, of my pets being cute, or naughty, and that’s fine by me since I check on them often when I’m out. This camera really gives me peace of mind. You can also speak to your pets thru the device and it’s very clear! I also like that the light that lets you know it’s on isn’t as bright as in their previous model. One thing I would correct is the length of the cable isn’t very long, maybe about 3-4ft so you have to make sure you’re near an outlet especially if you plan on hanging the camera high up. But you can also buy a longer cable online if you wanted. Another thing is the camera is super light so make sure your pets don’t have access to it or they may be able to drop it easily. The set up process was super simple. Overall I love this camera and I highly recommend!

Additional update: the camera quality of the free camera that I was sent is great. However all of My cameras now automatically turn themselves off. I just go ahead and assume now that none of my cameras have recorded anything. It works for looking at real time events, but is 0% reliable to go back in time and look at what happened, which was the whole reason I purchased the products. My dogs got into a Christmas stocking and ate chocolate, and I was unable to see which dog ate the chocolate, what time it happened, how much each dog ate, or if anything else happened around the same time. Luckily everyone was okay, but the camera failed me when I needed it most, and also every single other time I have ever needed it. ————————————————— Update: after the previous review, petcube ended up contacting me and trying to resolve my issue. After several system updates, etc, they ended up sending me a new camera with significantly better quality. I’m still not sure why the other 2 cameras were so poor! This new camera is definitely much clearer. I hope to see an improvement in the “awake mode” as well. Overall their customer service gets a 10/10. Note that I was compensated for modifying my review ————————————————- I purchased this petcube as an addition to a larger petcube device that I already had, since I got a second dog and needed to keep a better eye on them while I was not home. However, the picture quality is far from ideal, 9 times out of 10 there’s connection issues (whether I’m on WiFi or my cell data), it hardly ever actually catches movement when I want it to (ironically only when it’s not needed), and the “awake mode” turns itself off at the worst times. The other day, one of my dogs escaped from her crate, pooped all over the floor, and ate food out of the sink, and all the camera caught was before she escaped and after she settled, when there was little to no movement. So no footage of the destruction! This has happened on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, I expected much more from this product and have been pretty disappointed.

Quality is nice. However I bought the 2 pack and 1 does not work at all. Angle of camera doesn't code as much as I would hope to see from camera placement. Bummer you have to have a subscription to record/utilize features. Tried to talk about broken camera with customer service and they kept trying to tell me to use different plugs or adapters as if I had adapters laying around.

I took a chance after reading the reviews and am happy with it. I can get all 90° of my kitchen from the corner. I like that you can set it to a pet’s sound for notifications (mine goes “woof-woof” and it’s cute). It does catch people too (bummer!) and loud enough noises but it tells you in the notification if it’s motion or sound which is awesome! I sleep late so my husband unplugs or hides it so it won’t detect him going in and out of the kitchen and the notifications won’t wake me up but then forgets to put it back or plug it back in when he leaves for work. It will still send notifications but not make any alarm if your phone is set to Do Not Disturb mode which is also a nice feature. The picture is pretty clear for facing two windows. I dropped it about a foot onto its front lens and it didn’t crack, break, glitch, error or anything. It still works perfectly. I like the magnetic base feature and the cool metal ring so you can mount it under cabinets or on a wall. The swivel up and down is nice but I have to manually adjust the left to right. It didn’t seem to offer being able to move the camera view in the app. One day, it would have been nice to shift the view down via the app because it got bumped and I wasn’t home to adjust it and didn’t know it until there was motion detected. When I get in my car, which has hands free and I try to connect to the camera, it dials through my phone unless I shut off the WiFi. I don’t get that. It also won’t stay connected to the camera for more than 2 minutes if it goes through the vehicle. It also takes longer to connect to the camera, even sitting in my driveway. I haven’t had any weird squealing sounds when I connect like a few others have. I do wish that, when you expand the camera view on the phone/app, it wouldn’t automatically enable the *microphone*. I want to catch my dog sniffing the counters and wanted to see if she’d jump up to get something off of them but if there is any noise around me and I can’t shut the mic off fast enough, she hears it and leaves the kitchen before I can catch her in the act. The overall camera and access is free, but you have to pay if you want to access recorded video from it. It’s about $5/mo which isn’t bad at all - it could come in handy if you miss notifications or can’t access the camera quick enough. I did buy another brand but I am not happy with it. It only records in 1 minute increments, CONSTANTLY notifies you of ANY movement, has a confusing app that took me forever to figure out and annoyed me so much, so unplugged it and gave up. I would buy more of this PetCam instead. My two issues are these: It says you can share the app/camera but I can’t figure out how (the YouTube video is outdated, my app didn’t have the links or steps they showed) and I would like a way to OPT to be able to have the microphone be able to be turned off before full camera access if the consumer prefers it. Also, the USB to wall jack sticks out like 2” from the wall and where we have it plugged in was annoying so I purchased a flat one instead. Otherwise, so far, very happy with it. Had it about a month now.

Super caméra, petite jolie et pratique. Très bonne qualité de l’image de jour comme de nuit, le son est aussi très bon, c’est un vrai plus de pouvoir parler à ses animaux à distance.

I ordered two cameras, didn’t realize that it could only operate on 2.4GHz wifi, so I contacted customer support for help. They walked me through the process and it was actually super easy. One camera had a broken start button but they were more than happy to send me a replacement. So far I’m happy with mine!

Was purchased when my young cat was diagnosed with heart failure, to give me peace of mind during the day. Have since used it with the new kittens and greatly appreciated it when traveling

This camera does exactly what I needed, to be able to see if my cat has eaten or not. The picture is clear, the audio is fine and the view is quite wide. The only quibble I have is I wish it was wireless, as you're beholden to where your outlets are. I would like to buy another, but I need to figure out where to put it and what outlet it can use. Other than that, it was easy to set up, I have never had an issue with the app, it's a perfect little camera, excellent value, especially for the price.

We have a 1.5 year old puppy and wanted to be able to watch her while we are at work or out of the house. Didn’t want to shell out the cost of more expensive cameras on the market but wanted something that was good quality and would meet our needs. Landed on the PetCube after doing much research, and they were on sale which was a bonus. I’m happy with my decision. We ended up purchasing 2 more so now we have 3 in total and can view the puppy from the common areas in the house that she likes to hang out. We have had them for a couple months now and these are my thoughts: Pros: - camera and app are easy to use - two way audio so you can communicate with your pet works well - wide angle view - option to have the camera make an audible noise when you log in to check on your pet. My puppy will run over to the camera when she hears the noise which is great so I can see her and talk to her -can share the video feed with multiple family members Cons: - only works with 2.5g wifi. Not a huge issue, a quick google search helped me adjust my wifi settings to show 2.5g and 5g. I knew this before purchasing. -picture quality is a little grainy but it is fine for our needs. Haven’t used the night vision so can’t comment on that picture quality -the camera is stationary II do not subscribe to the PetCube care option so I cannot review that but I believe it gives you the option of video history and alerts. For multiple cameras the cost is 16.99$ USD a month which I find steep so I will not be subscribing. I just check in on my dog multiple times throughout the day, and we usually don’t leave her alone longer than 4-5 hours. Overall I think this camera is great option to watch your pets while you are out! I recommend this product for all pet owners. I will likely purchase more in the future to cover more areas of my home.
