Here are the best pet cameras on sale at Amazon as of Jan. 5:
Our pets have never been closer to us than in the last year. Working remotely, doing online school, and generally staying home more has meant that our cats and dogs have gotten used to their people being around all day.
While it’s been great to give our furry friends the attention and love they deserve every day, being home so much is a recipe for a little separation anxiety when you do have to step out to run errands.
A pet camera can help you keep an eye on your dog or cat when you have to leave the house. From your smart phone, you’ll be able to see what they do when you leave, which will make sure your pet is safe and help you pinpoint behavior issues. Some cameras even have interactive toys or treat dispensers, so you can play with your four-legged pal even if you’re not home. Check out our top picks on all the pet camera deals on Amazon as of Jan. 5:
This Furbo pricing is about a dollar higher than the lowest price ever, making this deal one to grab. With treat-tossing functionality, an HD camera, and two way audio, Furbo is designed with your pup in mind. You’ll be able to see what Rover is doing from your phone with a 160 degree wide angle view, plus get notifications every time Furbo detects barking. Chat with your pet to calm them down if needed, and toss a treat to reward them.
If you have a cat and the treat dispenser cams aren’t your jam, this Petcube camera has an attached laser toy that’ll keep your pet entertained while you’re out. Play using your smart phone or set the laser to autoplay mode if you’re busy. This Petcube also has a built in Alexa virtual assistant, so you can play music, manage your smart devices, do web searches, and more — all with the sound of your voice.
If you’re looking for something cheaper, this Petcube cam will do the job. While it doesn’t have any of the fancy built-in treat dispensers or toys, the 1080p HD video cam has night vision and two-way audio, so you can see and talk to your four legged friend, even if it’s dark inside. It also has a built-in vet chat feature, so if you think Fido might be sick, just use the Pet Cube app to start a chat with a pet care professional.
ANOTHER GREAT DEAL:
The Petcube Bites 2 system is another great option for the treat-tossing feature. With barking and meowing notifications and pet or human detection, you’ll always know exactly what’s going on at home even if you’re not there. The camera will record pet activity in short clips when it detects noise or movement for you to watch later. The camera will store up to 90 days of activity in its cloud system for easy playback, but just remember that you’ll be required you to pay for cloud storage every month to use this feature.
