We totally get it - you love your Petcube Camera. We adore it too! It's what put Petcube on the map and it's helped tons of people all over the world to be close to their pets... even when they're apart.

When there's a product like that, it's hard to replace, even when it's heralded as a "next generation." So if you've been looking at Petcube Play, we've put together this roundup to explain why upgrading to Petcube Play might be just as revolutionary as when you first tried the original Petcube Camera.

1. It can see in the DARK

Night vision rocks. It truly gives you a 24/7 view of what your pet is up to. Most pet antics don't stop when the sun goes down. Here are some of our favorites.

2. Feel the difference of 1080p HD

Petcube Play ups the core feature, the camera itself, by going to 1080p HD video. Paired with the digital zoom through the Petcube App, you'll be looking at your pet in a whole new level of detail. It's crisp, clear and perfect for pet selfies and videos.

3. The smaller, more attractive sibling

Slimmed down by 58%, it's more than just the hardware that's different. Petcube Play comes with friendly, rounded edges and in the three different colors - whether Rose Gold, Carbon Black or Matte Silver - it looks HOT and can fit different interiors and personal preferences.

Great image quality, and the night vision works perfect. Very easy to set up. Love it! - Cala


This is a great improvement over the Petcube Camera. The difference between the 720p and the 1080p is night and day. The laser is much more responsive than the original. - Siobhan B.
