    Great camera, lots of fun!

    Very good camera with a lot of features including notifications for people entering the too, not just motion or if you prefer will notify you anytime it hears a meow as well. The laser pointer is a bit hard to control, but the cat loves it nonetheless. Amazing purchase!

    Highly recommended

    My cat is sick and this camera helps me monitor her. The quality of the picture and the night vision are top notch. Support is amazing as well!

    I'm a believer!

    I am not someone who likes an "overly connected home". Having four wonderful cats caused us to rethink having a "pet camera". We read reviews and looked at other models. Petcube won and I have to say, it came packaged like a beautiful Apple-like-device. Made me really think I had purchased a high quality product even before fully unwrapped. Smaller than expected too. Setup was flawless and simple and we were online in minutes. I txted my partner at work, had her download the app, and she was immediately watching our kitties and loving it. The biggest complaint we both have - well when we are bored at work, of course we have to pull u out Petcube to see what is going on at home. And the laser feature works beautifully!! Such a great new addition to our furry home!

    Can be a little finicky but overall worth it.

    I had the original petcube, loved it but it broke when I moved. I decided to splurge and buy the newer version. When I first received it it connected to the WiFi no issue (even being a floor level away from the router) worked great for about a month and then all of a sudden disconnected. I was having a terrible time trying to get it to reconnect, moved it close to the router, all over the house, wouldn’t connect. Thankfully the support at PetCube are very helpful, after a string of emails back and forth trying a few different things with the internet settings we were able to reconnect it to the WiFi and it works great now! My cats go crazy for the laser pointer and it’s nice that I can set an auto play function if I’m going to be gone for a couple of days. The movement sensor is great as well, it will start recording anytime it senses movement (if you have the subscription) so not only do your pets love it it gives you peace of mind when you’re away from home. For the price, I would definitely recommend the petcube over other cameras at a similar price.

    I love it! I can see my fur babies while traveling abroad

    Very easy to set up and in about 20’ I was able to see the video feedback sent from Petcube to my phone through the Petcube App.Videos are surprisingly clear and have a very wide angle for viewing a much larger space than anticipated.I was able to test my voice and talk to my cats!My anxiety level in leaving my pets while traveling has decreased to an acceptable level due to this great invention! Thank you Petcube Play creators!

    great camera, annoying subscription plans

    The camera itself is pretty good. It freezes sometimes, but overall I'm very happy with it. However, the "care" subscriptions don't seem fare, given that we paid $200 for this device already. I assume the camera itself can't cost more than $50 (there are similar ones on amazon for $39.99), so they shouldn't have to charge extra to make the profit. I understand that someone has to pay for the cloud storage, but turning of the filters (pet/human) and cutting the videos down to 10 seconds is completely unjustified. I'm still glad I bought the camera, but I wish I knew it before I did, so maybe I would have chosen a different one.

    Love it!

    First, I love the fact that I can check in on the family dog during the day. I can also surprise my kids and start talking on it when I see that they are watching tv instead of doing their homework. The audio is clear and the visual is also clear. I feel safe knowing that I can get a quick look inside my house when I am away.

    Peace of Mind and great FUN!!!!

    It is a fun way to keep an eye on my three cats while I'm at work or on vacation. I can also share with my husband, children and friends who are also pet lovers. It really gives me peace of mind and insight into how they interact, their interests and character. If you have any issues they have great friendly customer service who are responsive and the tech support is patient and diligent about solving any issues as well. Love this thing. The cats are hilarious around it and see the videos of what the cats have been doing at night (it has night vision) which is mostly trying to break into the treat container or sneak up on one another. Set-up was really easy and the android app works great. My cats sit by it. I love my Petcube Play. and play laser tag. That way they get some exercise. No complaints! I love being able to see them while I am at work and other people share as well. Great fun! The app works relatively quickly and was very easy to set up right out of the box. I feel a lot better now. Thanks.Anita BarberAnita Barber

    Easy to set up, quick way to check in on your pets

    The Petcube is really easy to set up. I use it to check in on our dogs whenever we leave them at home (as they have some separation anxiety). It's a nice way to ease my mind seeing them happy and sleeping on the couch. It's also a good way to catch them in the act when they're doing something they shouldn't be!

    Pros and cons

    We have the 1st generation model and tgere are pros and cons. We love that laser games can be played with the kitties. Downside to this model is that there is NO NIGHT VISION, Also the video can get grainy on this model.We would recommend newer generations, but not the original model.

    The Cats in our Sanctuary Love our Petcube Play!

    Petcube generously provided a Petcube Play for Purrfect Pals, a cat sanctuary in Arlington, Washington. Now our friends can watch and play with the wonderful cats in our FIV Land Sanctuary Room. Because of the added visibility, we are seeing an increase in adoptions of special needs kitties and attracting new donors, volunteers and foster parents. The kitties in our sanctuary are enjoying the interactive laser pointer and we are really happy with the cam's picture quality and the customer service we've received from Petcube!

    Fun toy for the puppies

    Great product so far. Can't wait to see how it does when I'm at work. Great picture quality but the laser is a bit clumsy. It works but it's quite a bit off compared to where you're trying to point it.

    Fun gadget

    I bought the Petcube Play as my cat is by himself for most of the day whilst I’m at work and I quite like the idea of checking up on him and seeing what he gets up to. It’s a very sleek product that comes nicely packaged and delivery was very fast.Installation was pretty fool-proof – you just need to download the Petcube App, plug the Petcube in and follow the instructions on the app. It wouldn’t connect to the app on my phone at first but I just turned the Petcube off and on again and voila – all set up and ready to go! I was worried at first where I would place it but the power cable is long enough to reach places, so I've placed it higher up on a shelf.My cat loves laser toys, although they do confuse him a little, so it’s funny to watch him chase after it and try to figure out where my voice is coming from. I think the image quality of the wide angle camera is great, even in low light and at night-time. All in all it’s a lovely little gadget and I would recommend it to any pet owner.

    Definitely recommend the petcube play!

    I love the petcube! I've wanted one for a while so when I was going on a long trip out of the country I knew I needed to get it cos I was gonna miss my cat. It definitely gave me a lot of peace of mind that I was able to check in on him and play with him while I was away.It also gives me a lot of comfort that even if I'm just not home I can get notifications if there is any movement so it doubles as a security cam.I got the rose gold one and the color is actually so nice. I usually stick with black everything so it gives a nice pop of color to my apartment. It's a little smaller than I expected which is actually nice because it's pretty understated.The laser works pretty well but I feel like it's a bit off sometimes but you can recalibrate it easily. The speaker sounds good and you can adjust the volume which is great.It's so easy to set up and only takes a few minutes. I did have an issue when I changed my wifi password and couldn't get it to connect again but I emailed the support and they emailed me back quite quickly and I was able to get it back up and running again very easily.Overall the petcube play is a great product and I've really enjoyed using it with no complaints :)

    Perfect for keeping tabs on your cat while you’re at work!

    I really like the wide angle lense on the PetCube, I can see my entire living room in it! I use it mostly to check in on what my cat is doing while I’m at work or if we go on a day trip. Most of the time he’s just sleeping peacefully in the same spot, haha. My favorite moment so far happened while using the night vision feature. One night I heard noises in the living room, so I opened the PetCube app. It turns out it was just our cat running around the living room causing a ruckus. The laser pointer feature is cool too!

    GREAT DEVICE!

    The Petcube is a great device. It was so easy to set up, it has a very good camera quality. So many features to use, there is a motion detector which gives a notification on my phone right away. I watch my pet when I am at work and anywhere. It has a night vision option which is a great feature, I can see clear images even when the lights are not on. Once we had a technical problem, the petcube went off line, but thanks to a great customer service, they quickly replaced the device and via life chat helped me to set up and solve all the problem in a quick and professional manner. Especially I would like to thank Chad, a technical support representative who gave me a thorough and easy to follow instructions with patience and understanding.

I had an issue with my video subscription services, so I contacted customer support- within 5 minutes, they had the issue resolved, and were friendly as can be! I 100% recommend this product!

    Great for keeping an eye on pets while gone

    I love my Petcube Play. It's a user-friendly device that is aesthetically pleasing enough to have on a shelf in plain sight. The extra wide angle covers a very large space (15'x32') with only one camera. I only keep the camera plugged in while I'm out of the house and I appreciate how quickly it reconnects after being plugged back in. I also give 5 stars to Petcube customer service. When I had a functionality concern with the Play, they were responsive in helping me troubleshoot and eventually replacing the device. It brings me so much peace of mind to be able to spy on my pup while I'm not there!

    Love to be able to spy on my dog while I am at work

    Overall, I really like the product. It gives me piece of mind to know that my pup is doing okay while I am at work.I was debating between getting petplay vs petbites. I end up getting petplay because it is much smaller in size and cheaper in price. Also, i felt like petbites will be useless in my case as my pup is crate trained and also doesn't need additional treats as i usually prep stuffed kong with his frozen (moistened prior) pet food topped with PB that i gave to him before leaving the house. In the picture he is actually working on his kong.I don't use laser as well as voice option right now. My pup doesn't care about laser and my voice confuses him very much.Also, I unplug my camera the minute i enter my home because of a personal preference.

    Best pet camera out!!

    I’ve had my Petcube camera since it originally came out.....I just had the firmware updated and with all the changes made to it I’m ready to purchase a second camera. Petcube Care is the best way to check in on your furry family members when you are away from home and gives you peace of mind that they are ok. I Love this product!!

    Gives peace of mind

    Probably one of the best purchases I have made. I actually had problems with my 1st camera (wouldn't connect to my internet after several months, also would not say "offline" a lot) and PetCube immediately sent me a new one that works very well. It also can act as a security camera. If you love your pets, you will love the PetCube camera.

    Fun and effective!

    So far, I'm really enjoying the PetCube Play! Initially, I had trouble getting it to connect to my Wi-Fi (my firewall was the issue), but the customer service team was able to efficiently talk me through adjusting the settings on my router so the PetCube could connect. I love being able to check in on my dog while I'm gone at work, as well as confirming my suspicions that he likes to bark at the window when other dogs go by (see image). Thanks to the 2-way audio feature, I can get his attention and stop the unwanted behavior. He is still figuring out the laser pointer, but I haven't tried calibrating it yet, so we'll see how things go once I take care of that.

    I’ve always wondered what my cats do all day while I’m at work and now thanks to Petcube, I know they are lazy! It’s so fun to be able to check in on them throughout the day and see them cozy in their bed, or catch them occasionally sauntering to their food bowl for a mid afternoon snack. Any pet lover knows that our animals are our children and Petcube allows us the reassurance that they are safe and happy during our absence.

    Fun for Pets and Owners!

    Love the many uses for the Petcube! One of our dogs is obsessed with lights, and the laser is a fun game to play with her while we are home and away (here's a picture of her chasing the light around the living room). The 2-way voice feature only seems to confuse our dogs when we try and "talk" to them while we're gone, but it may be useful for other pet owners. And the quality of the camera is excellent! The zoom feature is very nice, and the app is very user friendly and easy to use. The packaging and the box itself are very sleek and minimalistic, easy to fit in our living room!

    So easy to set up!

    I'm not at all techie, and I was able to get my Petcube up and running in about 5 minutes. It provides a very clear, wide angle picture of my living room so I can check on my pup while I'm at work. It also allows me to talk to him, which is pretty cute because he can't figure out where my voice is coming from! It also has a night vision setting that allows me to see him in all levels of light. It's really nice to be able to check in on him. This makes it so easy.

    It is what it is advertised to be...an easy to use pet monitor

    Received this product recently and so far it is everything I wanted it to be! The setup was an absolute breeze and as simple as downloading the app and plugging it in. The camera quality is as good as any top quality baby monitor. I was able to check in on my pups and bird while at work and talking to them was fun! The only minor quibble is it is a bit hard to get direct the laser pointer but I am sure that will come with some practice and this is a great buy!

    Gives me peace of mind

    My boyfriend travels a lot for work and our cat is living with him for right now so I got him the Petcube for Christmas. Having the Petcube gives us both peace of mind while he’s away. We can check in on the little guy, play with him, and also make sure he’s being well cared for while we’re away.It did take a bit of training and trial and error when trying to figure out how to make both the Petcube and the cat work, but it was all well worth it.

    We love our new Petcube! It looks sleek and modern and the image quality is great. We tried playing the laser game with our dog but I don’t think we’ll use it often for him. Our only complaint is that there is no functionality to turn off the camera for when we are home.

    I've been looking for a pet camera for quite sometime so this wasn't a spontaneous purchase by any means. I read reviews and kept researching and finally decided on this camera and I love it! I can not only see my pets but I can communicate with them as well. The picture quality is good in any light. You also have the ability to use a night mode. I plan on purchasing a second camera soon.

    Great for any pet owner!

    The PetCube is a great addition to any pet owner that is curious what their furry friends do at home. The camera is small and easily placed anywhere to watch the animals. The camera also captures any motion; so your animals are jumping on the couch or barking at someone approaching the house, you have video footage. The laser pointer works great to capture your pet's attention, especially for the cats. The feature to talk to the pets is great if they are causing trouble. Overall a great buy or gift for any pet owner!

    Everything is great except the talk to your pet feature

    Love being able to see my cat while I'm at work or out of town. The image quality is great, and there's very little lag in picture quality. It was a lifesaver this past holiday season when the cat scooted his furry perch/scratching post a bit too close to our heating vent when jumping into it- I was able to see it and ask the sitter to move it away before god forbid a fire started! Well worth the money there.The app works well, and linking multiple units together was seamless- it's easy to switch between cameras.The laser is a good selling point to me- my guy needs some more activity and he loves playing with it, even months later. It's more laggy than the camera, but it works well enough.The only thing I find lacking about the Play is the sound. I just don't use it because there is so much feedback. It's cringeworthy. If that feature is important to you I suggest you look elsewhere, but otherwise these units are great!If like me, you're wondering what you get if you don't buy the monthly subscription- you still get movement alerts and videos from the past 4 hours, they just aren't cached.

    Such a great idea. We can interact with our cats while we are away. Signing up for the video package is good as it gives us video of the cats when motion or sound is detected. I had a few questions and customer service replied very promptly and solved my issues. Every now and then the treats do get stuck and won’t fling out.

    Great device!

    We bought this for our dogs because we travel often and are gone at long periods of time throughout the day for work. Training the pups to hear our voice while sending treats was quite simple. They love this device and now stare at it nonstop! It's great. Also, the screen resolution works great. And you can hear your voice loud and clear when talking into the cube.

    Sleek Design

    I love the fact that I can keep an eye on my little guy while I am away at work. He can be a little mischievous at times so its great to know when he's up to trouble then just walking home to it and being surprised. He loves the little laser pointer the cube includes and the size of the cube was a lot smaller then expected which is a bonus to me because I dislike clunky items. The quality of the video is pretty awesome and better then most nanny cams I have tried. I would definitely recommend this item!

    Petcube is the best thing for pet/human separation anxiety

    Simple to set up and gave my daughter who is living in Paris immediate access to her beloved cat. She talks to the cat and the cat responds. The cat also is a lifelong laser addict so that part is a winner, too. Petcube is the best thing for pet/human separation anxiety. If only they could add the touch factor...

    I don't feel bad leaving my cat alone anymore.

    Love it. Setup was super easy, and the video quality is great. My husband and I check in and play with our cat almost every day. We went on vacation 3 weeks ago, and used the laser pointer to play with him while laying in bed in the hotel. Where we have it positioned, we can see a good amount of our first floor. I find myself checking in randomly, kind of like it's a security cam. I hadn't really thought about whether there was a social side of it or not, but you can check in on some shelters or pet cafes around the country, which is pretty cool.I doubt the cat realizes it's me playing with him, but I at least feel better about leaving him alone for longer periods of time.

    The Petcube has been so very helpful in our house for checking on the dog. It also is wonderful to have it as added security. My dog loves being able to hear us talk to her when we’re gone. She also gets very excited and talks back with her cute little doggy howls.

    Well designed - easy to setup - FUN!

    This thing is awesome! Sometimes when I'm bored at work I would wake up the cats from their 23 hour nap schedule. LOL They go crazy for the laser. You can even talk to them. I have many videos of them. You get a handful of free video which is sufficient number to send around to friends. It even works with my buddies dog! I didn't think that dogs like chasing lasers but they totally love it. It worked right out-of-the-box with very little set up confusion. please note that you must have a smart phone in order to get this working but you can also login at a browser I think. One day my boss discovered that I was watching the video instead of working…after I should them we all watch it now. LOL anyway simply awesome. well designed. my favorite guilty pleasure when stuck at work.

    Easy to use and stylish

    The Petcube is small and aesthetically pretty to fit into any space. I like that the camera has a wide horizontal view and I can also see across the entire 24 feet of my apartment. The app is easy to use and the Petcube is activated by motion sensor so I will have videos specifically when my pup is walking around. With Petcube I can easily check in on my boy when I am missing him at work. Also when he his not feeling well, which usually leaves me anxious all day at work, I now can check in on him rather than spend the day worrying. It is an excellent product and I highly recommend it.

    Works great for both pet-watching and also as security camera!

    I was surprised by the quality of this product. For the price, I didn't expect such good quality videos and images for both day AND night vision (see attached pics). I not only use it to spy on my cat, but also for overall movement/security in my apartment! The camera is a small black cube, and the power cord is long enough that it can be placed on any surface within about 6 feet of an outlet.Set up: Once the camera is plugged in, you have to download the Petcube app and then use bluetooth to sync the camera to your phone--once set up, it runs on wifi and you don't need bluetooth enabled. The setup in total probably took 15 minutes for me.How it works: You can log in to the petcube app at any time to view your camera feed live, in addition to speaking to your pet through the camera and shining a laser to play with them. Personally my cat has never been around to notice the laser when I check in on her live, so I'm still waiting to investigate that feature...but the sound works great. In addition to the live stream, the camera functions as a motion detector, and will record all movement when you're not around! So when I'm at work, I can watch all the clips of my cat from the middle of the night to see what she was up to in my living room, which is pretty funny.Overall I'm really happy with this purchase--it's added a lot of entertainment to my life because I can check in on my cats movements all day when I'm at work!

    I absolutely love the Petcube! I’ve been using a pet cam from a different brand for the past couple of years and boy am I glad I switched!! Petcube’s quality is so much better, I can hear the pets clearly, and the laser pointer feature is a nice added bonus. I now get peace of mind while at work since I can see and hear exactly what my fosters are doing while I’m away!

    Great support team

    The petcube is a great idea. My dog loves to watch and play when I bring it out. I have to put it away when I'm not ready to play with him on my phone or he will sit and stare at it all night waiting to play . I would love to see a version of the petcube that allowes motion activated play instead of totally phone driven. Working with the petcube team has been wonderful. Easy and efficient process to experience when help is needed.

    Great camera/motion sensor, lagging laser action

    The motion sensor video capture works really well. Good quality, good sensor, great wide angle view. Could easily double as a security/nanny cam. And I really like being able to put it in a "sleep" mode when I'm home so it's only "watching" when we are away from the house. And checking in remotely on the action in my house. Tip for anyone buying one: To get the red laser to land where it looks like it should based on the live video screen, you need to put the device only about 2-3 feet off the ground. Any higher and the laser doesn't go where you think it is from the video screen.My only complaint is the laser isn't very responsive. For my cat to play with it, I'd need it to be able to move smoothly and quickly and it's more of a jerky movement and every interaction takes a few seconds to happen so it's just not interesting enough for her (even on our high speed internet). I'm hoping future firmware/software updates will improve on this. For now it's abut the camera for us and that's great.

    Saved the day!

    Petcube saved the day! I was staying at my daughters as we were waiting for her dog to give birth. I had been with the dog all morning and when I went upstairs for lunch my daughter called and said "Mom you better get downstairs now". I rushed down and sure enough the dog was delivering the first pup. Turns out this pup was born in distress and needed a lot of help to get breathing and moving. Without Petcube We really feel that pup would have been lost and perhaps the others too. So thankful to have this technology!

    especially after recalibrating the lazer (which is almost like a fun hide and seek game in and of ...

    Initially my wife and I had some issues with the streaming and the lazer. Turns out: our wireless router was a million years old. Comcast came out and gave us a new one, internet speeds jumped, and Pet Cube started working perfectly, especially after recalibrating the lazer (which is almost like a fun hide and seek game in and of itself).Pros: Petcube itself is a great company. The vibe I get is Silicon Valley startup (based on their work on behalf of homeless animals in San Francisco). They seem to care a lot about their product, and offer quick, effective customer service. The camera itself is sturdily built and streams great, and the lazer is a riot. That's what separates it from a standard web cam: you're able to actually engage with your pets in a way voice alone can't accomplish (ever try talking to your pets on the phone? They never care). There's also a pinch zoom feature that allows you to move from a fish eye perspective to a targeted area of the room. Night vision is excellent, and the audio quality is pretty good too.Cons: I wish the product had a swivel feature. Fish eye captures most of what you'd be looking at anyway, and the pinch zoom sort of allows you to scan the room, but if the cube were mounted on a based that turned, that would be stellar. I also wish they'd combine the lazer model with the treat model. I worry that without having the ability to positively re-enforce lazer chasing with treats, they'll eventually stop paying attention to the lazer altogether, at which point I'd lose engagement with my pets. Also, while you can pinch to zoom in on certain areas of the screen, any photos and videos you take will still be full screen. This was an issue earlier today: my dog was doing something hilarious, but because of the full screen perspective you can't really see it happening in the video. iPhones don't allow you to crop videos after the fact, so it'd be nice if you could do so on the Petcube app.Overall: I'm very happy to have this camera. In a week I'm leaving for 17 days, and I'm going to be MISERABLE without my dogs and cats. I already check the camera a couple of times a day, and it's super reassuring, even though I only work five minutes from home. Is it pricier than your typical webcam? Yes. Is it worth it? If you're crazy about your pets, I think so. At the very least, I can say it's the absolute best pet cam on the market.

After having recently moved, we got the Petcube to check in on our dog and cat throughout the day to make sure they're doing well in their new home...and discovered that they mostly sleep while we're at work :) It really eases the mind to be able to check in on them at any time, and give them a bit of exercise by playing with them with the laser. Love the wide angle view, which gives visibility into our whole kitchen and living room. Overall great purchase!

    The Petcube play is a great way to entertain your pets when you're away from home, with the added benefit of being able to see them and interact with them. It has way more functionality than I realized - I was thinking it was just an automated laser pointer, but it's so much more. I experienced some trouble with set up / connecting, but support was very eager to help. I highly recommend getting the angled stand to help with the laser locations / callibration.

    Being an avid traveler, one of the problems that come into play when we go out of town is our pets! Of course we have people lined up to help out with feeding and walking them, but 3-4 days in to each trip my wife gets gets overwhelmed with FOMO of what our pets are up to and the fact she can't play with them. I stumbled upon the Petcube Play prior to our most recent trip it relieved a majority of her anxiety. It sent us fun alerts of when our cat crossed it's path and even allowed us to play with him using the cool laser pointer. I was afraid it would be more difficult to setup but it was a piece of cake. Definitely recommend checking it out if you have furbabies at home. Lastly it is apple watch compatible which was a nice plus!

    so far so good! My dog was being accused of barking when i left the apartment. I installed the pet cam and once i left my apt. checked in on him and he wasn't barking. I received notification of noise, once i had good reception i checked the recorded 30 sec clips and noticed that it wasn't my dog barking, it was that i left the volume of the radio a bit too high and the camera was picking up high notes lol So, lesson learned don;t leave the radio on or leave the volume lower than you usually do. I gave it 4 stars because i wish it had and on/off button on the device itself and via the app. Also would be nice if when streaming live there was an option to turn the sound on but only one way, aside from two way.

    Awesome camera / app for watching your dog from anywhere

    I was pretty excited to get my first camera to see my dog while I'm away from the house. The Petcube didn't disappoint. The app makes it easy to connect the camera to your phone, and then the features are exactly what I need to see my dog in action (or simply lying in the kitchen) while I'm away.Admittedly I don't use the laser often, but the two-way voice controls are pretty sweet! I definitely recommend this little unit if you're looking to see what your dog is up to when you're at work, away for the weekend, etc.

    It's amazing! Has tons of features in addition to be able to see your pet when you're away! The camera has wide-angle lens so it can pretty much cover everything in my living room. You can take screenshots and videos, and you can even play laser pointer remotely! The laser control is not that accurate though, so most likely it wont end up at the place where you want it to be, but that's not a big deal. As long as the laser dot is moving my cat would get crazy. You can also enable speaker so you can talk to your pet remotely. (Whether they can recognize your voice is another story :P) Sharing, video storing, lots and lots of cool features. It is really a comprehensive product, other than just a video recorder.

    My husband and I have wondered how the animals are when we leave the house. I always believed our puppy is lonely. Finally, we decided to get the PetCube! The device came in a well packed box with very simple instructions! It took about 5 minutes to set it up, test it out, and play around! While we are out and about, I can now check on the pup whenever I want!!! The app will let you know that there is motion detected, you have the option to let the app tell you when to check on them. You can activate the sound and talk to your furry friends and also dispense treats! The treats that come with the product are grain free and healthy! What a wonderful invention for humans! I highly recommend this product (AND THEIR TREATS) to everyone. It will relieve your worries about your animals when you're not home.

    A friend of mine has the petcube treats version, but I love how small this one is! It doesn't draw any attention to itself on my entertainment center and has a super wide angle lens so I can see where the pets hang out most of the time – the couch. So far it's been a great little device! I've been able to access the live view without any hangups whenever I'm away. The cats (and even the dog) enjoy the laser, but I really wanted this for peace of mind when we leave the kitties at home while away for a couple days. I love that I can talk to them!

It's been awesome to be able to check in on the pups from work. If they're restless I can come home at lunch for a walk, but if they're comfy, I can let them sleep! With the time change, the night vision has also been super helpful and the camera has a pretty wide angle that covers most of the area we keep the dogs in. Camera was super easy to set up and the app makes it really easy to use. Plus, what's better than getting to see your puppies whenever you want while you're at work?

    I have two new kittens that are not yet introduced to the entire house or my existing resident cat. I found myself hanging out in my bedroom way to much and making sure that they weren’t trying to get in my fishtanks or chewing on my wires because those are the only things that I try to cat Proof but still worry what they might get into. They sleep in the master bathroom and stay in the bathroom when i’m away for extended periods. Just to take a break downstairs and go eat or have some time away from the bedroom it’s nice to keep an eye on them via iphone I recommend it

    We just got the petcube and already love it. I work full time so it’s so fun to be able to see my fur babies while I’m at work. The sound quality is really good for talking to your pets through the camera. Bonus is the laser, one of my dogs isn’t too interested in it but my other one chases it around which is fun to watch. The only flaw that I can see is that there seems to bea monthly fee if you want to use the app which is dumb to me. Maybe I’m wrong about that but our app says that our free trial ends in ten days.

    Fantastic Purchase!

    We love the Petcube! It's so nice to be able to leave our cats for a night and check in on them. Our cats LOVE to play with the laser. I agree with some of the other reviewers that you have to calibrate the laser to get it to do what you want, but after that, it's pretty simple and doesn't have much lag.Since I have 3 older cats, it's reassuring to see that they're all ok while they're home alone, and we get the bonus of giving them a bit of exercise by playing with them. The night vision works well too. They look like they're in the movie Ghostbusters when we check in on them at night. Specifically, Ghostbusters 2, when Janosz is walking down Dana's hallway and his eyes turn into flashlights. ;-)It's also nice to check on our dog while we're gone - when we're almost home, we talk to him through the speaker, and he gets really excited! Also a little confused because he doesn't know where it's coming from, but mainly excited. The only thing I wish this had was a swivel that we could control, but I did see that they're coming out with something like that soon.Overall, I recommend this, and am so happy we got it!

    The initial set up for the cube was relatively easy. Plug it in, install the app on your phone, and just follow the directions on the phone.When we initially connected to it remotely, it kept going offline, and having delays in the laser movement; however somehow this corrected itself after 1 day. The laser is pretty fun to play with. You tap the screen and the laser tracks to where you press.It auto records video clips when it detects motion.Overall, very pleased with our purchase.

The device itself is also a very good looking and feels great, would fit any interior. I think i’m going to order more as it makes a perfect gift to my friends!

    Great camera and motion detecting

    We purchased our Petcube Play a few months ago. After using it for a couple months, we found that we really only use it to check on the pets...but not really to interact with them. The dog has zero interest in the laser, and the cat is only interested if it happens to catch his eye the right way. But the laser is also a little skittish and hard to control. I don't think they really benefit from us talking to them as neither has come towards the camera or has even shown any curiosity about it. We placed it near our back window, so it really acts more as an additional security camera. That truly is the biggest benefit for us, as the camera and the motion sensing are high quality. I'd still recommend it as it may be that our pets are just not into it. And as I said, the camera itself is top notch.

    Pretty good pet camera

    Petcube was as described.It's a small and unobtrusive device you can easily place in a corner of the room, plug-in and forget about. The picture quality is fantastic. It's not ultra high definition but was enough for its function. I especially appreciated the night vision - I could clearly see what my dog was up to even with all my lights off.It was easy to set-up my phone and I started using it almost immediately out of the box. I have a dog, so the interactive red laser feature wasn't something that I used. It comes with a free limited subscription where you can review your captured images and videos. It's expensive to continue, however, and I did not renew. I also appreciated the motion sensor that automatically began to record a video and stop once motion ceased.Sound quality was great. It does not have an option to dispense treats, but I was okay with that.I dock a star because my roommate connected her phone to it, and despite a lot of effort, I was unable to connect my phone back. I guess it's only for my roommate to use from here on out.

    Petcube Play in a Shelter environment

    I help run a Cat Shelter in Ecuador and this is my review of the Petcube Play Camera.SET-UPSet-up was very easy, the instructions were simple to understand and easy to follow, we set up the camera using an Ipad that we have at the shelter and didn't run into any issues, we have the Petcube set up 2 rooms away from the router so the wifi range is pretty solidVIDEO / SOUND QUALITYThe video quality is great given our current internet service, this petcube is being used and controlled by people all over the world and we get nothing but praise from them. We really have no complains once again due to our location and not so great internet , we sometimes get some lag or jitter but nothing out of the ordinary, we don't really use the sound but we have enable it before for testing purposes and it's easy to carry on a conversation between 2 parties using the camera microphoneOTHER FEATURESThe camera has many options for all kinds of usersOur most heavily used feature is the laser, people and our cats love the laser feature, it has a surprisingly long range and hold pretty steady while being controlled through the app.Also since the release of the Petcube Play there's a new option to Livestream directly to Facebook which helps us tremendously in getting our video in as many social media platforms as possible, setting up the Livestream feed was very easy as well, nothing too complicated and I would say anyone that has installed any bluetooth or wifi enabled device in their home should be able to do it without any issuesCONCLUSIONWe highly recommend Petcube, we've been able to use it consistently since it was released and we keep it on 24/7 and available to the public almost 16 hours per day.

    The Petcube is easy to set up and to use. I love that I can share the video feed with friends or family or share it on social media. The only thing I dislike about it is that when I use the feature to be able to talk to my pet while I am away, my voice is distorted and sounds like a scary robot. Overall I would say this is a great product and I would recommend it.

    Petcube Play: Pet Camera with 1080p Video, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, and Laser ToyThis fancy gadget is great for my younger cat (who loves the laser functionality) and my older cat (who is a trouble maker - caught her pushing stuff off the counter). It makes it super easy to know when something is going on at the house with the animals and I can watch/play/interact with the cats when i'm not home. Would definitely recommend for anyone with pets they want to keep an eye on them!

I love the clear live footage that comes in crisp and vivid, and the ability to record any activity at a whim/when automatically detected by the camera itself.The speed to load the live video is also very fast and the laser is quick to respond. I'm really looking forward to seeing the future growth of this interactive pet camera, as it seems to improve in miles each time.The millennial pink is also a nice little color option ;) Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase!

    I absolutely love this! This is my first device to monitor my pup (Crispin) and I'm so glad I went with the PetCube Play. The video quality is exceptional and the sound/movement notifications are a nice touch. I feel bad having my dog home while I'm away at work so it's nice that I can communicate with him via the speaker and laugh while he jumps after the laser. I should also mention the design is great and blends well the decor of my home. It's the small things. Thanks PetCube!

    I love the new Petcube play

    I love the new Petcube play ! I've tried a few other web based cameras to check in on my dogs while I am away, and I've found all the ones I have tried to be pretty temperamental. My Petcube just works - it always works. I don't have to reset it endlessly, the setup is effortless and there is a fair amount of customization. Oh, and it is really small and attractive. I actually have a standard Petcube and a Petcube play. They are both excellent. I prefer the new Petcube play because the video quality seems to be better and it definitely performs better in low light / at night. If you like to creep on your dogs while you're out, just make it easy on yourself and get this already.

    Great for puppy watching!

    I just purchased the pet cube to keep an eye on my puppy while I am at work and it is great! I love being able to see what he is doing, especially in the late afternoon when he gets more active. The sound is not stellar but you can talk to them through the cube and it definitely gets their attention, which is great. I highly recommend it to anyone with a puppy - or to anyone who just wants to see what their fur family does while they are gone!

    Completely Addicted - Love this product

    So this Petcube has hands down made my workdays 100% more enjoyable. I love being able to pull up the app whenever I like to check on how my kitties are doing and say hi to them throughout the day. I had a little trouble getting the Petcube set up originally but when I used another (newer) phone it set up within 30 seconds no problem so I think it may have been an issue with my phone, not the Petcube. I was also pleasantly surprised by how small the Petcube was, it fits in the palm of my hand, for some reason I was expecting it to be much larger, it blends in very nicely on my end table. I highly recommend the Petcube and show it off to all my friends and coworkers whenever I can.

    I LOVE THIS PETCUBE!Checking in on my animals throughout the day is my highlight during work. I enjoy getting to talk to them and listen to them move around. They know where the camera is at so whenever they hear my voice, they run right to it! The laser is such a fun feature too. Only one of my pups likes it, but it's fast and easy to use through the app. When my dogs are being cute, I also live stream them on my facebook page. Livestreaming through the app is super easy.I also love the app community. I love getting to check in on Cat Cafes all around the world and watch their cats. I personally keep my petcube on private, but am thankful for those that open up their home/business to let me peek in on the animals.Thanks for making my day always, Petcube!

    Great camera for your pets and general security

    This is a great little camera for watching your pets and for overall general security. It is a little pricey, but the setup is very easy. The quality of the images is outstanding and even works at night. As others have commented, the laser has a sluggish response. The camera has a threaded insert for a standard tripod. You definitely need to be able to angle the view. I would recommend to the Petcube people to include some sort of swivel bracket that would allow you to angle the device without having to go out and purchase a desktop tripod.

It's really easy to check in and make sure that my pup is okay. Most of the time I find that she is sound asleep in her crate which puts my mind at ease. I love that friends and family can check in on her easily as well. The picture on the Petcube is really good and I like that there is 2 way sound. I have used the 2 way sound feature to try and correct certain behaviors and I think that it has helped! Overall I am very pleased with my Petcube and would highly recommend it to others!!

    Great product!

    I am so happy that we purchased this Petcube! We have a kitten at home, it has really been nice to monitor her activites with the Petcube and see what she does all day when we are at work.I did experience minor setting up issues, similar to what was mentioned in the reviews. It had a few issues connecting to the wifi, but after a few tries over 5 minutes I got it working. After this initial setup there hasn't been any issues.I really love playing with the laser pointer. I recommend calibrating it if you move the location as it helps it to be more accurate to where you touch on the app. The night mode has a good image and is handy for wearing the kitten out to get her to come to bed in the evening. The ability to talk to your pet was clear when we tested it at home and when we use it during the day our kitten investigates (as shown in the picture).Overall, I am happy with our purchase and excited to have the option to check in from work or if I go away for a long weekend.

    BEST TOY EVER - FOR CATS, DOGS, AND OWNERS!

    The PetCube Play is the most exciting gadget I have purchased since the iPhone, hands down. Today, while I was waiting in line at the Home Depot, I was also playing with my 2 cats and my dog, and even got to reward them with an audible "good job!" when they "caught" the laser pointer! This device will revolutionize the way owners interact with their pets when away from home, and provide much-needed mental and physical enrichment for furry friends 24/7.FEATURES: The PetCube can be set to turn on and start recording when it detects movement and/or sound, making it double as a security camera! It can store video for up to 10 days. The owner can control who is allowed remote access to the camera, laser pointer, and/or voice features, simply by adding that person to a list of "friends" or "family" (permissions can be set separately for each category). If the owner likes, the PetCube Play can even be set to "public" so anyone with the app can play when the PetCube is on! The box itself is small and discreet (a must for owners of curious cats, like me) and seems pretty sturdy.HELPFUL HINT: when the PetCube is moved, it is essential that the owner re-calibrate it to ensure the accuracy of the laser pointer-smartphone connection. The first time I plugged it in, there was a lag between my finger-swipe and the laser. Later, I calibrated the laser toy and now it works like a dream, with no lag time!

    I love Petcube Play and so do my pets!

    I love Petcube Play. This product is so innovative. It's not just a camera - it has features like laser, motion detection, and audio to let you interact with your pet while you are away. I have 2 intelligent parrots that will communicate with me via Petcube Play. I love to be able to check up on them and have the peace of mind that they are doing well. It's amusing to see their reactions while I talk to them.Setting up the camera was fast and easy. The instructions on the app were clear and easy to follow. I was able to get connected and test out the features in a couple minutes. Since my birds are in cages, the wide angle easily captures their location. I wish there is a zoom feature so I can find my pet easier, since one of my bird blends in with his cage. Other than that, I'm very happy with this product and I wish I had known about it earlier!

I have 2 cats who both just turned 1 this month and they still get rowdy and make messes here and there all the time. I thought this may help and boy was I right! I have this in the Carbon black and it was very easy to put together and get set up. The Pet cube has been a great solution for me. One of my favorite parts is the laser. It is hilarious to watch them have fun when I am away and they love it. It is worth it to me just for that but oh it does so much more. I love being able to talk to them when I am away. This is just a really neat ideal and gadget and I highly recommend it!!! My only problem is I wish I had got it months ago...

    This thing is fantastic! I was hesitant after reading some of the reviews but decided to give it a try. Set up took a few tries to connect to Wi-Fi but I blame our really poor internet provider for that. We did manual set up and used the router name and it connected right away. Picture is not smooth like TV but for less than $200, I think this is a great device. I can't stop playing with my cat with the laser while I am at work. Field of view is also good. My Petcube is around a wall and about 20 feet from my router. I read that some people needed theirs to be in closer proximity but it is not a problem with mine. I would definitely recommend this product.

    It's my second Petcube. The first one was the previous version I bought it for my mom and she is still happy with it. And I think she is using it as a security cam as well :)They have made really good improvements from the first version. The video streaming has higher quality and the laser works better as well. But my cat is a lazy ass so it's hard to move him even with a faster laser :)Also, this new feature of night vision is awesome! I can finally see what my cat is doing at night when everybody else is sleeping.The setup was so easy, as always, just a few steps. I definitely recommend this to all my friends who has animals at home.

    Very Happy

    I love this pet camera. It gives me piece of mind when I am away from home, and it's really interesting to see what my dogs are up to while I am out. I also use it at night as a sort of security camera so I can see what is happening downstairs. My Petcube Play is very easy to use, and has worked well. I am definitely glad I chose this over other pet camera options.

    Pretty easy to use and interesting.

    We got a PetCube play to keep an eye on our two dogs while we were at work. The setup was fairly easy, and within a couple of minutes we were up and running. The camera quality is excellent, even in relatively low light, and the microphone and speakers allow for communication with the dogs.Just a couple things we were able to see over the past couple of weeks:- Dog B was lying on the back of the couch when we weren't home. Busted! He knows he is not able to do that, but apparently when we leave the rules go out the door!- Dog B was lying in Dog A's crate.- We actually saw Dog A pull his blanket out of the crate in front of our patio door so he can lay on it while looking outside. Cute.We have played with the laser a few times, and the dogs do respond to it if they notice, but at least where we have it set up they don't always notice right away.It's pretty interesting concept and the camera/video quality is pretty good. Would recommend.

    The Katz like it

    We have really enjoyed the pet Cube and more importantly our cats really enjoy it the autoplay mode keeps them fascinated and ready to go all the time the only problem I had with it is the sound I get some sort of feedback on it when I try to talk to him so I usually don't use it I'm looking forward to seeing new products come out of this company

With my Jack Russell terrier, he has anxiety issues when I am not there, so its nice to check up on him, and talk to him to let him know I will be home soon. And my cats LOVE the laser light play option! Its perfect for my 1 dog, 4 cat family!!

    Excellent Way to Keep Tabs on Your Pets

    The Petcube is terrific though it took several tries to get it setup. The instructions and online video make it appear to be a simple "plug and play" type of device. This was not our experience. After several phone calls with Petcube tech support I learned that all I needed to do was temporarily disable my network firewall on my router page while Petcube linked to my home network. I re-enabled the firewall and have had no problems since.The Petcube is a fun way to watch what your pets are doing "after hours" and the laser is great for our cats. I would highly recommend the Petcube.

    I love it!I was going to give it 4 stars because last time I travelled I plugged it hoping it would just work while my taxi was waiting outside, and it wouldn't connect, so I ended up not being able to watch my cats while away, which is the only reason why I bought it. However, when I came back I contacted customer support and they replied my email so quickly and were SO helpful. I followed the instructions they sent and my camera connected on the first try, and now seems to work just fine and connect automatically when I plug it in.The company is amazing. I bought mine via kickstarter and they have always taken such good care of their supporters/customers. I only have good things to say about them, so those little software flaws that can be quickly fixed by their A+++ customer support don't bother me too much.The only thing I miss is an on/off button so that I don't have to unplug it to turn it off I don't like to have it on when I'm home.

    Wonderful. Best gift for any pet parent

    I absolutely love my petcube. I've had it since Christmas 2016 and it has been wonderful. It works off WiFi and as long as you have a good connection, the picture on your phone will turn out great. I lived in an apartment where the WiFi signal was not great, so the picture quality wasn't the best. I moved a few months later and the petcube wasn't picking up any signal. I contacted the customer support number and they were extremely helpful! They sent me out a new one (under the one year warranty), and kept in contact with me the whole time. If I ever wondered where my petcube was (in transit), I would contact them and get my answers. My new petcube works great! I couldn't be more happier!!!

    Get's the job done! To spy on my dog!

    The initial set up was a little hard, maybe due to bad connection but it took a while. Video clarity is fantastic but movement can be choppy. Sounds is also a delay, I can hear myself echoing back. The app is pretty amazing, I did not know I was able to look at other pets who have set theirs public. (Kind of creepy, kind of cool).I am still not sure if my Petcube is available for the pubic to see but I prefer my privacy =PMy dog Luigi didn't care for the laser but I had fun poking around playing with other pets who do like the laser. Laser didn't seem to do well in daylight but best at night/ darker room. Overall, great product to check on my dog to see what trouble he has got himself into!

    Worth the Upgrade

    I decided to upgrade my Petcube Camera to the Petcube Play and boy am I glad that I did! While initially I didn't notice the picture quality difference between 720p and 1080p, I did notice it when I zoomed in to see my dog Tater Tot. Also, I love that the higher definition is better in low light. My favorite feature is night vision. Especially in the winter, inevitably I would forget to turn a light on before leaving for the day. After a certain point, I wouldn't be able to see Tater anymore because it would be too dark. Not anymore! I turned the lights off to try it out at night and it works great! I can actually see objects, my dog and myself and none of it was blurry or pixelated. If you're thinking about upgrading, I would highly recommend it. As a bonus, the body to the camera is much smaller! See photo for comparison (old one on the left and new one on the right).

    Great system

    I like this, the image quality is very good, if laggy, which isn't a big deal for me since it's just a monitor for my kitties when I'm gone.The laser is not very responsive, so I don't see myself using it very often. Maybe a future software update will improve it.Set up was a little difficult, but tech support got me all straightened out, and after a reset of the cube, set up worked as advertised and was fast.I am going to buy a tripod for the cube, which should give me a better field of view. Right now, I set it on my kitchen counter, so it doesn't pick up most of the floor area where my cats hang out just because of the counter height.The cube is very small, and is unobtrusive. It comes with a very long USB power cable, I haven't measured it, but I'm betting it's about five feet long. Such a long cord makes it easy to position the cube wherever you want it.The two way audio option is no good. You can hear things fine through the app, but the actual cube is just a whisper. Not worth buying for that feature alone.Overall, I'm ok with the cube, but I think a cheaper Web cam type system would have been just as good since the laser isn't great. Unless an improved model with better laser response comes out and volume control for the audio on the cube, I don't see myself buying another.Update - The manufacturer reached out to me, and put my username on a firmware update list. Since the update, the laser is far better. It's still not as smooth and responsive as a toy laser in the hand, but the cats (and I) are much happier now with the current ability of the laser. The audio has also gotten much better. There is now a volume control on the app for the audio, and it picks up my voice much better and you can hear it clearly through the cube. I'm now very very happy with this cube, and updated this from 4 to 5 stars. If my experience continues with this upward trend, I will definitely get a few more cubes for other parts of my house.I do recommend getting a tripod for it. However, the mount screw in one I got for the cube wouldn't reach the threads in the cube, because they're rather deep into the cube body. I got an adapter 'long' screw for the tripod, and it solved the issue. Now, I have a great and adjustable view of any room I wantc to put this in.

    Great buy for any pet owner who misses their cat/dog when they're away. I loved being able to see what my dog was up to while I was away for work. It was also fun seeing other people's pets. It was very easy to set up. The app that supports it is also user friendly and works great. They have this Petcube Care subscription that allows the Petcube to record when it detects voice and/or motion so you can capture your pet's cute moments while you're away and be alerted when a stranger has entered your home! It can sometimes take a while to connect, and there are times when the camera feed lags a bit, but it doesn't get too bad that it's frustrating. It is definitely worth buying if you want to always be able to check up on your pet. My dog doesn't care much for the laser pointer so I can't wait for Petcube Bites!

    A real life Tamagotchi! So much fun!

    I got the Petcube Camera from Amazon, but really wanted a night vision camera. So I imported the new Petcube Play from the US instead.Boy, is this fun. It's a lot smaller and with a tripod it fits neatly on a table with a long USB-C lead. They supply an mains adaptor - but simply used a UK one instead.We love the feature of seeing and playing with other people's cats. It is as engrossing as YouTube can be without all the canned videos of cats doing silly things. It rejuvenates the whole genre: like a real life Tamagotchi!As an application developer and hardware engineer: the product is great both in the smaller box and the application. Just a pity I had to import it - I'm told it will be available in Europe in the Summer 2017.Fantastic - exactly what IoT was about.

    Great purchase!

    I have enjoyed my petcube so much. I had a bit of trouble getting my wifi to find the device, but the customer service was quick and very helpful and the problem was fixed quickly. I have it placed on a high shelf and have a birds eye view of the area my cats are usually in while I am gone. I enjoy being able to check on them while I have to be away. My young cat LOVES to chase the laser and my kids love to control the laser with my iPad. It so convenient right on my phone to check on the go. We have an older cat and I often worry about him when I'm away. This is a great idea and I have definitely used it more than I thought too. I still have things to learn and I'm sure I will only love it more.

    I wonder what the dog's up to...

    We have had our PetCube for a month now, and it has been great for added peace of mind when we leave our girl (dog) home alone. The device was easy to setup and works exactly as expected. The sizing is much smaller than I originally expected, which was a bonus as I don't want more bulky electronics in our "cozy" space.The PetCube is super convenient for checking in on our 6-year old couch hound when we have a longer day at the office, or when we just miss her and want a little cuteness to get through the day. The one thing we would love is if there were a way to set up the motion/sound notifications during specific hours only. From what we've found, you can either set these notifications on OR off, but we don't want to get these alerts when we're home and moving about with her... that just results in a lot of notifications, and can be a little bit creepy to some extent.Overall, great product and super user friendly!

    Love it!

    This is super clear and the night vision is really awesome. The voice option works pretty well but it took a while to figure out you just have to talk a bit louder than normal to transmit properly. Also, the laser light isn't the greatest as far as smooth tracking goes. It's pretty jumpy and I wish it would be more responsive but its not a deal breaker (even after calibrating it several times). I have had no issues with connecting to it. I can check on them from work or while at the store with my phone being on data, although the wifi does make the video recording a bit more smooth.Overall, I love this and would definitely buy another one for another room in the house :)

    An amazing product all around

    The camera has an extremely wide view and really covers a lot of ground, which is great. I love finally knowing where my dog spends most of her time while I'm away at work; so fun! Where I think this video/camera really goes beyond other products is the very intuitive Android app along with the features. Being able to communicate back and forth with your dog is something I never thought I'd be able to do. I haven't gotten her to play with the laser yet, but I feel like that's more of a cat thing than a dog thing anyway. I'm on my 30-day free trial of the cloud video service, and it's definitely something I can see coming in handy. The app sends notifications when there's movement so you can see what's going on at home, without having constantly check when there isn't any movement.I'm extremely happy with this purchase; great new tech for a device under $200. I'm looking into potentially adding a camera in the bedroom as well.

    I love this thing!

    I have 2 very lovable cats and when I first saw the Petcube I was immediately sold on getting one or something similar. I did not immediately go out and purchase, though. I read reviews and did some research. I found there to be varying reviews on the Petcube Play, but in the end I gave it a shot.Aside from the initial set up taking a bit longer than I like I am very happy. Once I put my phone in airplane mode (a tip I saw here), the setup was a breeze. When my wifi isnt on the fritz the Petcube connects to my phone immediately and I am granted with a great view of my cats. The camera works excellent at night too. The laser is a bit laggy BUT that does not bother me. It is still sharp enough to warrant some fun play with them.I have faith that if something were to happen that I would get good support from the Petcube staff. I recommend if you are a pet lover and enjoy checking in and playing with your pet when you are away!

    This is a great way to keep tabs on my pup when I can't be home. The feed is lagged sometimes, but for the price, it's pretty good and I perhaps only delayed by a few seconds sometimes. The sound is rather loud and obnoxious and I don't use it. It would scare the poor puppy! But all in all, I'm very happy and feel like I accomplished what I wanted for a reasonable price (to be a fly on the wall when I can't be home).

    The Petcube is awesome! It makes it possible to interact with my cats when I am away, which is especially useful right now, since we currently live in two different cities (I moved recently for work). It's fun watching my cats follow the laser pointer and see their ears perk up when hearing my voice.I also really like the Petcube app. You can both watch your cat's video stream (private/public options) or others pets' streams, if their owners made their video streams public.I took one star away from this product, since the connection is not always good. A lot of times you'd need to tap on the screen repeatedly to get the laser pointer to move. But I would still recommend this pet camera!

    Very fun, peace of mind.

    At first I was a bit hesitant, but now I love it! The attached picture is one I just snapped form the Petcube app on my phone from at work just now.The setup was very simple! I like that my girlfriend also could make an account and use it from her phone too.The motion detection (and auto-recording) function surprisingly well and trigger most of the time my snake moves around his tank, and that's with the camera looking through a glass panel. I find that to be impressive.Occasionally I use the 2-way mic to wake up girlfriend up when she's sleeping in and I'm at work! lololol. Even though I use this product for a snake it's still very useful!The nightvision is impressively clear! I've used the live Facebook feed option to stream one of my snakes feedings to facebook, that was great! I'm aware most people get these for cats/dogs/birds, but I like to make a lot of observations on my snake. The quality is such that I can make out which general direction the needle on the temperature gauge inside my tank is pointing. Though I can't read the numbers out, I've memorized where they are so I know what position means what temperature by looking through the Petcube feed. :-)At first the streaming quality wasn't great (for the first day) and then it got better and stay better. It now rarely says "low connection quality" anymore and is almost always (90% of the time) providing the full quality. To be fair that is mostly signal strength / sever settings stuff anyways, which wouldn't be the fault of this product.

    Great item and loads of fun!

    I was excited to set-up my Petcube Play to see what my kitty does when I am away from home! Turns out...she sleeps a lot! :) I have enjoyed being able to check-in on her and see what she is up to when I away, especially when I am away overnight. The Petcube Play was easy to set-up and it is very easy to use. I was pleasantly surprised how such a small item has such a wide lens camera. I was able to set it up to get a view of my entire living room where my kitty hangs out. The voice and speaker feature works great. My cat is a bit confused when I speak to her, but I think it would be great to use with a dog. My only disappointment is that the laser pointer is a bit slow and not very accurate to where you put your finger on the screen. When I move my finger, it is hard to see where the laser pointer goes and makes sure that it is moving around where I want it to. Other than that, I love this item! I am going to let my brother and sister-in-law know about it!

    Easy to set-up and it works!

    The main thing is that this actually works and the set-up is very easy! This is the 2nd pet video system I've ordered. I originally tried a different brand and the set-up was impossible. Even their customer service couldn't help me so I returned it. The Petcube on the other hand is very easy to use and the quality of the camera is good.Features:Talk to your pet and hear them- 2 way soundzoom option on videoLaser playtimeNotification if there's sound and/or motion in your home (customizable)Can stream on facebookCan enable auto play with the laser or you can control itLaser starts with call or you can turn that offCan have multiple usersThe video loads quickly, I was able to play with my cat with the laser and call for her when I didn't see her within the frame. With the laser it does default to start automatically when you login to check on your pet but you can change that in the settings. You can also enable the laser to play with your pet automatically if it senses motion. There's also an option to do Facebook streaming in the settings but I didn't try that feature. You could also zoom into the frame and if there was movement the Petcube app would text me to let me know so it's kind of a security system too. You can also set it up to notify you if there's sound within your home, both motion and sound, or one or the other so it's customizable. Great if you want to check-in on someone caring for your pet while you're away and you can even save video to your phone.Also I was able to install the app on my phone and my husbands' phone to check on the pets so you could have multiple users. It doesn't kick you out for having 2 users.Cons:The only cons are that the camera doesn't rotate so you want to put it in a place where you can see most of the room where your pet will be. Also the laser does have a bit of lag time.

    Love the Petcube Play

    Love the Petcube Play. I have a diabetic cat that sometimes doesn't want to eat his breakfast when I'm rushing out the door for work. Due taking insulin, he has to eat. I have a subscription to Petcube Care to check in on whether he's eating when I'm gone. You know what? That stinker waits until I walk out the door then gobbles his food and wanders to the other 3 cat's plates for scraps! Definitely great piece of mind for myself. I also like that I can talk to my cats and play with the laser light when I work midnight shifts and they're home alone.

    Really fantastic if/when you get it connected!

    I purchased this wondering if I would be the buyer who had a smooth setup, or a frustrating one. It was initially the latter.I have two android devices with bluetooth, a nexus 6p and a nexus 7. It didn't seem like either would connect via bluetooth. The 7 didn't even see it. At first I tried to connect within the app. It was clear something was happening, I got a solid green light, but the app screen was the same: searching... Now, I think perhaps I was impatient, as I have read other reviewers waited 15 minutes or so to get that initial connection. After 2 hours of resetting the pet cube, powering off and on, installing the latest android update (7.1.2), running my phone is safe mode, etc etc etc, it still wouldn't work. I did learn something important though:Do not pair to the petcube through your phone's bluetooth settings! Let the app do it for you, in fact you have to. It will not pair outside of the app.I got some weird messages when I tried to pair through my phone (i.e. not in the app) like: nexus 6p can't communicate with petcube; couldn't connect with petcube because of an incorrect pin or passkey. Most of the time, it would just silently fail though. These are an indication I should have been letting the app do the work for me. Looking at my bluetooth settings was good for one thing: I could tell my 6p saw the petcube and my 7 did not.Eventually I broke down and downloaded the app on my husband's iphone. It worked instaneously, and the rest of the setup was a breeze.Do not despair too much if you have bluetooth issues. Once you do get bluetooth connected, you set up access to WiFi. Once you have WiFi you are done with bluetooth and you can use the petcube app from any android device without issue. If you ever need to go through everything again of course, maybe you change your WiFi password, or move to another WiFi network, you will need bluetooth again. Which will probably happen at some point. Hopefully we will get it to work again when that happens.As for the petcube itself, once connected, I love it! The laser does have a little lag, but I find slow swiping in certain directions really helps. I have a cat who is obsessed with laser pointers, so she has taken right to this. I am very pleased with it so far.

    PetCube lets you play (and spy) on your pets when you are away! "Who knocked over the trash?!" Haha. Problem solved

    Got my item fast! Was very excited to try this item out, and it lived up to the hype. My English Bulldog, who snorts and snots all over the place loved it's new friend! At first she was a little confused and a little scared, but after about a minute, she was snorting and snotting all over the laser pointer that I control! Haha. I am a big kid at heart and love to hide in the other room and mess with my best friend (my dog). The set up is easy, the black box is greatly designed and when I'm off teaching my middle schoolers, I was able to show my whole class what my dog is up to at home! THe kids loved it! (You can also use it kind of as a granny cam as well!)Petcube Play 1080p Video, Night Vision, 2-way Audio, and Built-in Laser ToyI would recommend this product to anyone who has to work long hours (like me, a teacher) and love their pet! I have already shared this product with my family and friends and they have recently bought one for themselves. It honestly sells itself. Great product. very happy. Thank you!

    Nice toy. Laser not as reactive as you might expect, there is always some kind of latency. Also the question of privacy with an internet connected device raises some questions. However, a nice unit and the cats love to play with it.

    I LOVE PETCUBE

    I LOVE the petcube. As a slightly overprotective pet mom, I worry about my dog and cat when I run off to work every morning. I also feel guilty that most of my day is spent away from them, often wondering how they fill their day and wishing I could play with them. Thanks to the petcube, I can check in and play with my pets anytime I want! Both pets LOVE the laser feature. I even use it when I am home with them, they could chase it around for hours. I like that the petcube has a feature called "auto play" which enables the laser whenever there is significant movement. So even when I am not actively playing with my dog or looking at the feed, I know that she is being entertained. I just wish there was a feature where you could turn laser play on or off and not involve the motion detector. When I am home doing homework I would like my dog to be able to play with the laser continuously without me having to control the laser with my phone or enable "auto play" because auto play doesn't seem to activate the laser for too long. I also like that you can invite friends and family to view your petcube. My boyfriend and I live together so he can log into my petcube and check on our furry babies too. You also receive an alert when these approved members have accessed your device. Overall, I really like this product. As an overprotective pet mom, it helps put my mind at ease. There are somethings that could be improved but very minimal. I have already recommended the petcube to all of my animal loving friends and I will continue to do so.

    Love it!

    Omg... Petcube is so amazing! I wish I had found out about it earlier! There have been so many times I have gone on vacation and hired a pet sitter to stop by a couple times a day to feed/check on my cats. Even with a sitter keeping me posted on them.. I still had such anxiety wondering how they were doing.. And just really missed them! Petcube allows me to see them and check in on them from anywhere, whenever I want! The camera is wide and very clear, which is awesome. They love the laser tag too haha! Great bonus! I feel so comforted now having this and always knowing that they are ok! Highly recommend!

    PetCube Play is truly a great invention and must use product for you and your companion!

    I ordered the Petcube Play just recently and am already so excited about it! I used to feel so bad leaving my French Bull Dog/Boston Terrier alone all day with nothing to do but lounge around and mope until I returned home. But now all that is put to rest! The PetCube play allows me to check in on my pet and the laser light to play with him is amazing! The Carbon Black box is so small and easy to use, easy to set up as well! I also can now check in on him frequently and watch as my dog walker helps out as well! It's an amazing invention and really brings you closer to your pet while you are apart at work or out of the house for the day. I will totally recommend the PetCube play to friends and family and it's already going to be a great Xmas gift for my sister and nephew for their pets! Thank you so much for the fast and easy shipping as well and easy set up instructions on how to work it. Definitely a great purchase, a 5 star item!-Jake

    We LOVE our new Petcube Play!

    We bought our Pet Cube Play because we recently became parents of 2 new kittens. The Pet Cube Play makes it really fun to see what they are up to during the day while we are at work. They picture quality is great and the wide angle covers an image of our entire living room where they like to hang out. The kittens also are very curious about the laser! Its so fun to be able to play with them while not physically being home. Setting the camera up and downloading the app was super easy and the look of the camera is super sleek and looks nice in our living room. We are very happy with our purchase.

    Functional, attractive, with a well-designed app

    I've been using this for months. It's a very solid unit, well-built and it boots up quickly after you plug it in. The camera is very good and clear and it has a nice wide angle that lets one see more of the room. It also captures in low light, switching to the night vision automatically (very convenient!). The app (I am using the iOS version) is very easy to use and it is easy to add other people to your approved list so you they can watch. Connecting to the camera also is quick and overall, it's just a really pleasant experience. I don't use the laser but it's great to watch the dogs sleep or chew on their kong while I am away. Overall, if you want a camera to watch your pets (or, I suppose, anything), it's worth looking into.

    Great camera for those busy individuals that don't want to miss out on their pets' lives! I have a little puppy that stays home all by herself when my husband and I go to work. Thanks to Petcube I can see her growing and not miss the precious moments of puppyhood.There are several things that make Petcube stand out:1. Great quality of video2. Two-way sound. You can talk to your pet!3. Ability to stream videos via facebook live.4. Community - you can play with other cats and dogs, they even have cameras placed in shelters5. Flexible camera sharing options - I can open access to the camera at certain times to certain people with different permissions

    It's a cool product, the wide angle camera and recording options are great. I also love the laser function.

    Want to spy on your dog?

    I'm one of those people who misses my dog when I'm work so this is the perfect gadget for me. I get to check in on her several times a day. There have been some glitches with the Pet Cube app and my phone. I have an Android One Plus 3T which does not seem to be compatible with the app. My partner set the cube up with her phone - Galaxy S7 - and it works just fine. She invited me to follow the dog from her account which works just fine. Have some issues with the laser pointer. Doesn't always work, but the main thing for me is I can see my dog and talk to her. Be careful when setting up the app to make sure you set your account to private if you don't want other people looking in on your pet. There's def some work to be done on the product and the Android app, but this is a lot of fun, and I am grateful to see my dog throughout the day. Well done.

    Great for Peace of Mind

    I have been wanting one of these since I saw the startup campaign on FB. Normally I am not one to pay attention to anything on FB, however this caught my eye. The unfortunate thing was, at the time I couldn't swing the funding price. I wanted to wait to see how the product development went.So...time passed and I noticed they went down in price and Amazon had them available via Prime.I put one on my wish list and by the time I found the time to read the reviews and purchase it, it actually went down in price a little moreso...Now I have it.Had to have the pink because my iPad and my iPhone are pink.Got it in two days per my prime membership and it was delivered today.First impression: This may sound irrelevant, but to me it means a lot for a first impression. The packaging for the PetCube was really nice. It was in a nice box...looks almost retro. Its in a nicely presented sturdy box and the cushioning in the box is nicer and softer than my bed. I need a bunch of that to sue as my mattress but I digress.I took it out of its security wrapping and there were only 3 items in the box and two of those items was the plug and the plug in prong adapterI snapped them together and plugged the USB cord into the cube and plugged it into the wall. I downloaded the app on my iphone and here we go.Next step was the graphics on the app...big easy simple no frills. All good stuff. It walked me through hooking up like i was a child and that is actually PERFECT. The simpler the better. If a child can read the directions, then its easy to hook up.I will admit it took me a few times to get it to connect to my wireless network, but that was my fault because I realized i was using the wrong password to get it connected to my network.So its hooked up....the next item on my agenda was figuring out where to put it for maximum coverage for my pet to interact with the laser.I found a great spot...I got my account set up and I played around with all the settings on my account.I invited a few friends and they have already have given their approval of it too.The only other issue we had was getting used to the movement of the laser. It's easy to use but you have to adapt to its sensitivity.Overall I love the PetCube and I am really happy with it.Because its the type of device that can evolve and you connect it to wifi (online), it can be updated and any bugs anyone has can potentially be fixed without bringing it to a dealer.The share settings are awesome too...you have three options...Friends, family and the world wide webeach group has its own set of settings, probably the best share feature of allmy friends can log in in the allotted time that i set and have access to my PetCube to interact with my cat.You can set up the sound access and even the laser for all three group settings.Signing up is a breeze (my friends accounts i mean)another great aspect is, the PetCube is really sleek and its not even noticeable. Save for an ambient light on it, you hardly know it's there.If there are any other items i missed i will come back for an update.

    Awesome fun, and useful too!

    One of the best things I have ever bought. Not only can I sit and play with my cats while I am away with work (checking that they are OK) but I can also allow other people to access the camera at particular times and they can play with them too! You can control when that happens, I just have to make sure my floor is clear of dirty laundry :-DOne of my cats waits by the box as he loves it so much. Bering able to speak to them is a bonus although I do look a bit foolish going "kitty kitty kitty" into my phone :-) It will also record all interactions with a subscription service as an option which is an extra element of security.Ther customer service has been above and beyond too. I had a problem and they replaced the box, and I missed a free taster for the video recording and the extended it! Fantastic!!!

    SURPRISINGLY AWESOME. 3-in-1?!

    Okay, so I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of this thing, but I LOVE IT. My dog is obsessed with the laser toy function, and it helps me deal with the dog parent guilt of leaving my dog alone when I'm at work or go out for a while. Added bonus? It makes a great home security system too! (Take that NEST) I love that it also notifies you if there's movement (in case my puppy most certainly decides to be mischievous). Overall, a solid purchase that I'm using surprisingly more than expected!

    The app and setup is easy to use

    The video quality is very impressive, especially the night vision stuff. The app and setup is easy to use. The quality of the outgoing audio (you talking to your pets) leaves some room for improvement, but it gets the job done. I have dogs, so not much use for the laser pointer, but it appears to work pretty well.Overall, this thing works really well out of the box, it seems to be build really well, and video looks great.

    Second Chances

    Update: I was personally contacted via phone by one of the directors to ensure they had an understanding of the issue. I have been sent a replacement and their team is monitoring it.I am extremely impressed with the customer service they have provided me! I understand I may have a one off situation and PetCube's focus to ensure the product works and I have a great customer experience has been nothing but awesome! As of now, I have a new Petcube and it is working flawlessly! I am a happy customer and thrilled with their sense of urgency to make things right.I really wanted this work! PetCube customer service was great in attempting to help resolve my issue of the inability to connect my new product and immediately resolved to send me a replacement! I received my new replacement, connected and was happy! After a few days the camera disconnected and I was unable to view or connect. I called customer service again and they advised my app needed to be updated. Problem solved. Until I was away from my home and my camera was showing disconnected. I got home and reconnected and it happened the next day. That was the breaking point for me. Too many connectivity issues. I bought this product to check in on my puppy and ensure she was good. I had so many days where that wasn't possible due to connectivity issues. Although customer service tried to help and were responsive, their product needs some revision.

    Initial setup was very easy and I love the design and the size.We are in the middle of transitioning our pup out of his crate while we're at work, and this has really helped us out. The laser is great for keeping him occupied...he loves that laser! I also like having the ability to speak to him when he's getting into something while I'm out of the house, it usually makes him stop.The picture and zoom are both more clear than I thought they would be, and the wide angle is very helpful.Overall my family is very happy with this product.

Just about every piece of electronics in my house (frig, stove, security system, printers, etc.) are hooked up to my WI FI network with ZERO issues, just in case anyone wants to chalk my review up to an uneducated user. I originally got the Petcube and quickly returned because of the poor camera resolution and low visibility. I got the Petcube Play last week. Right out of the box could not connect. Tried to upgrade firmware as per the instructions of the manufacturer but unfortunately the little reset button on the underside of the camera was not functional. Without the upgrade unit was worthless. Was going to send it back to Amazon and be done with this brand but the manufacturer convinced me to send it to them and they would overnight me a new unit. So I agreed. Got the new unit Thursday and it connected and set up immediately. I was so overjoyed. This is not a toy for me. I have a dog having seizures that I have to monitor so that the vet can determine what is going on and how serious it is. Unit worked flawlessly for about 4 hours. Went out to dinner and tested it fully. Camera worked as expected but the dogs could not hear us through the 2 way. Got home and reset it and then 2 way worked. A couple other fluky things happened throughout the night, the notifications changed from a dog barking to a vibration (no big deal), the 2 way worked intermittently throughout the night, and there's at least a 5 minute delay from the time the camera senses motion or sound before you are notified. No big deal right? Unless you are using the monitor like me to track potentially deadly seizures with your dog. Back and forth with manufacturer again (they all know me by name on the toll free number NO JOKE and I have spoken to EVERY one) and assured that the latest firmware will magically solve all these issues. They were going to push the software to the unit. Go to work yesterday, everything working fine. Do a few checks in the morning and all good. Around 9am yesterday unit goes off line never to return. My Wi Fi is working fine because everything else in my house connected to it is working as expected. Get home at 4pm and NO POWER to the Petcube, dead as a door knob. Unplug it and plug back in and YUP working fine. Call manufacturer and what do you think they said? I must have had a power outage, even though NOTHING else in my house was affected. If you own a home you know even with battery backups, etc. if you have a power outage you lose the time on your microwave, some phones, stove, etc. I always know when we have a power outage even for 15 seconds because my microwave has no backup and has to be reset EVERY time. Not yesterday. So after presenting that fact to the manufacturer the response was well sometimes this can happen, if it happens again well send you a new power cord. Latest and greatest software is finally installed on the unit yesterday after I plugged it back in and the notifications are back to the dog barking sound, the 2 way is working religiously but the delay in the sound and motion detection notifications remain the same. I decide I can work around that and decide to keep the unit and move forward. Wake up this morning (the Petcube is in the kitchen so it had no reason to do anything all night while we were sleeping) and the white light is blinking constantly, which means its recording? Recording what? Its an empty room, dead silent, dead dark, no activity. And three hours later it is doing the same thing. And I try to connect to it and GUESS WHAT off line!!!! Not even going to waste another minute with this thing. Its a shame because this is an awesome product (concept) and I love being able to see other pictures from other users, and I love that its for PETS. But thats about it. If you are buying this for a toy that you do not need to work more than half the time, then by all means, spend the money. As a side note, I must say that the customer service reps are phenomenal. They really TRY to accommodate and solve your problems. Unfortunately they are fighting a losing battle because obviously they are working with developers that do not care that they are selling a product that isnt ready for the market. Ive asked the manufacturer to send me a real WORKING unit when they have one. If they do and these issues are worked out, I will certainly update my review.UPDATE:After working with the manufacturer directly and being sent another unit, I can gladly say that now the camera has been working consistently and reliably for almost two weeks now. I have had no dropped connections, the notifications have drastically improved and I have not had a single problem with anything. I've suggested a few improvements that the manufacturer seems to be receptive to so we'll see. I still think going forward this manufacturer needs to put more of their new "beta" products out there in the "real world" so users like me that are using something like this for a specific reason other than interacting with their pets can help them successfully iron out the problems before hitting the market. If I had bought this camera to occasionally check in on my dogs I might have just "dealt" with some of the problems.

    Good fun for pet and owners

    I've been playing with my Petcube Play for a couple of days now and it's a blast! The wide angle lens captures the whole room at once, so I can watch my furry little friend wherever she roams. The two-way audio works great, as does the laser pointer (hint: apparently Pomeranians are deathly afraid of roaming red dots). I found that installing it on a tripod, so it sits a few inches above the desk, gives a much better field of view.

    Problems with pairing, but overall a lot of fun.

    Just got this today. One day prime delivery is awesome. So, I'll start with the bad and then go with the good. The bad part stems from getting my phone paired to the device. That was quite the struggle. Had to restart my phone multiple times. Now you might think that's just my phone, but the Petcube itself had it's own issues after the fact with a pulsing orange light that wouldn't go away until I reset my router.After that (about a half hour), I was finally able to pair and use the camera. The picture quality is better than I thought and the laser function is pretty cool. The dogs responded well to the voice intercom and seemed very interested. So, the novelty of being able to interact with them is something I'm really happy about because I miss them during the day.The app is a little clunky, but not too bad to navigate around in and I was easily able to add my wife. I think a great added benefit is the notifications it can send to your phone if it hears loud noises or movement. Something that I plan on using in case of an intruder or maybe a ghost. I hope it's a ghost though.Anyway, I'm overall happy with the purchase so far. Pretty cool item.

    THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD

    I have 2 dogs a Pomeranian & an American Bulldog. I have a 3 bedroom house in a nice neighborhood, but because I work full time, sometimes I don't have time to walk them..So after I got Petcube Play I can literally play with my dogs from an hour away at work while they are at home, with the laser pointer that's built inside. It has a wide angle lens so I can see the area of my whole bedroom, I can actually talk to my dogs into my phone and the receiving end is on the Petcube. It's all real and live time video. I can record moments if I wanted to. I can make sure they are not getting into the trash or sleeping on the sofa, etc.But one of the best perks about Petcube is that it can also be used as an alternative for a home security system. It has a motion detection feature to where any movement occurs, camera will get online and record if I want to. I can even share my moments through the Petcube app with other Petcube users. I love this device and it's a great investment that u can keep ongoing for numerous reasons while you're away.

    This is a top rate pet cam.

    The picture is great, and the sound is good, and the laser is a lot of fun. It does help to calibrate the laser to get it closer ending up where you point on your screen, but still overall is quite impressive. This is definitely a good petcam to have to check on your critters and interact with them.I can even say customer service is quite good. I purchased mine from a store and everything was good about the camera except I couldn't hear any audio through the phone app. I contacted support through the app and they emailed me back fairly quickly, like on a Saturday night even. Anyway, they told me what to do to get some diagnostics out of the camera and make some files I could send to them. They said there was indeed a problem with the sound and replaced the camera. The new one is doing great. So they get a good grade for making that an easy process.Again, the picture is very good, and especially the night vision. Very clear. And it's fun because the cats' eyes glow really bright on the night vision. :)I do recommend this camera if you need to keep a watch on some cats or dogs at home during the day. Not really any negatives that I can think of. Maybe a few wish list items, like an easy off switch. I don't want the camera to always be on, so I unplug it when not needed. It doesn't default to sharing with anyone in particular, but I did turn off the friend sharing just for. And I only share with "family". It stores video in the cloud, which is ok, and I think they'll keep up to 4 hours for free, but you can pay for more storage if needed. An option for local storage would be cool, but certainly not a deal breaker. This does exactly what it's meant to do, and that's be easy to set up and use.

    Obsessed, this is a gamechanger!

    This is AMAZING!! After researching what kind of camera we wanted to get for our Marmoset Monkey cage, I'm so happy we found this! A friend of mine suggested getting a drop-cam, to keep an eye on them when we're out of town. Then right before I bought it, after doing a little research found this amazing product! I can play with my monkeys when I'm out of town, the nightvision is incredible so I can keep an eye on them even when they're sleeping. The camera quality is great, and the setup was really quick. I love the design, looks sexy in the cage!

    Love the product and share features - definitely recommend for any pet owner

    I am beyond happy with this and had no idea how much fun it would be. It helps so much with my "mom guilt" from leaving my pup home and this lets me play, talk, and watch her. My favorite part is actually the customizable share settings so I can set days and times for my friends to access it as well without infringing on my privacy. Another friend has a Petcube too and I love checking in on her puppy. If you have a smaller space, like me, I would recommend getting a mini flexible tripod so you can position it better for the laser. They thought of everything and have the standard socket at the bottom so I could easily screw in the tripod in without worrying about it falling off. All in all, I'm hooked and a loyal PetCuber. I can't wait to see what else they come out with!

    What can I say, I love the PetCube!My cat is home alone a lot so being able to see what she's up to and interact with her while I'm at work is so fun!And boy, can she ever get enough of laser play time? Nope! The Petcube means I can keep my kitty entertained even when I'm not there.The app is very user friendly too and the laser interactivity is super smooth and the night vision is great (see video attached!)Everyone who I've shown the video stream too has been very amused by it, too.

    I love my PetCube Play. I use it all the time, and let other people play with my cat too. I wish the laser were more accurate. I have calibrated it a bunch of times but there is still quite a lag and its not accurate. But for what it is, I love being in touch with my kitty. I was a little disappointed that right after I bought it, it went on sale for $50 less.

    Pretty cool piece of hardware for $100. App works ok. Will try to contact the cat when I'm out this weekend.

    Pros:I can see the animals if they're in the right roomI can move my finger on the screen and with a 3 second delay the laser pointer will move, so I can't exactly sweep the laser across the room like I do in person.Cons:I really need a bigger device screen to see much of anything. At this point I can see that the cat and pointer moved but little else.Again, 3 second delay.Resolution could be better.Says it has autoplay mode, will need to look into that closer.

    Pet and surveillance camera that just works

    Petcube Play is a huge improvement compared to the previous version (Petcube Camera).The device got significantly smaller, lighter and has much slicker design. It now uses full potential of its camera: in addition to live HD video stream it also has motion and sound detection, night vision, and record capability to store videos triggered by motion. This turns Petcube Play from just a pet care device into a home surveillance camera. The videos are stored on remote servers and remain accessible even if Petcube Play goes offline.Video and audio quality is amazing and it takes for the app just couple of seconds to connect. You do need to be talking close to your phone mic in order for the sound from Petcube be loud, but at the same time it does great noise reduction.Petcube Play is one of the very few devices that utilizes the new USB-C charging connector, which is reversible so you don't have to do the annoying flipping multiple times to finally plug in the charger it's pluggable either way. The power cord that comes with the device is 9 ft (2.74m) long which gives much flexibility in camera placement if there is no power outlet right next to it.As previous model, Petcube Play has tripod mount, which allows to position it virtually anywhere and set the required tilt for the best view.Unlike with previous model (especially on early firmwares), the setup of Petcube Play was very smooth: everything worked out of the box, the device quickly picked up WiFi network and configured itself the whole setup process took me about 30 seconds.The laser also behaves significantly better, but it's still not as smooth as I'd like it to be. It has good precision after calibration: if I tap on the screen the laser will point to the right spot. However what matters the most when playing with a pet is smooth movement, and not as much precision. Laser movement is often very abrupt, especially when I play via cellular connection (which I do most of the times when I'm away). These sudden and abrupt laser movements often left my puppy quite confused, but still may be okay for a cat.However there is a new feature in Petcube Play which makes its laser much more usable the "Auto Play Mode". In this mode you don't need to use Petcube app to activate the laser it will activate automatically when the camera senses movement and will play with your pet automatically. Now because random laser movements are managed by the device itself and there is no network lagging involved, the moves are very precise and smooth and got my puppy into play several times. The best thing about the feature you don't have to do anything, Petcube Play plays automatically. Just don't forget that you enabled "Auto Play", so you don't freak out when the laser activates by itself when you are home :)Another use case for our Petcube Play is to give it to our dog sitters whenever we are away for a while. This gives both us and our friends who take care of the puppy great peace of mind.My overall experience with Petcube Play has been very smooth the device just works and is very simple to use.

    AMAZING FUN FOR YOU & YOUR PETS (good security too for out-of-towners)

    We absolutely love our Petcube Play!! To check-in on our two kitties when we're out of town and to be able to play our talk to/hear everything in the room is SO great. They love playing with the laser.It's great for security too. We heard our smoke detector battery dying sound over the petcube while out of town last time. So we were able to have a friend go over and change the battery- that way it wasn't making the cats (and Neighbors!) anxious or annoyed!The motion and sound notifications are VERY sensitive. Kept sending us messages every time a cat went to go use the litter box in next room, so we don't use that as often. But that's a better problem to have than it never working in my opinion! :) We have recommended this to all of our fellow pet owners. My only complaint would be sometimes the lazer doesn't work as great as I'd like, it freezes once in a while. But not sure if that is our WiFi that might be causing the problem.ALSO- MOUNTING side note: we purchased a tripod to attach it to and put it up high on our closet doors so kitties couldn't mess with it. We bought a small tripod first from the store that didn't really work but then we purchased another one here on Amazon that is super strong! We got the "Sabrent Flexible Tripod for standard Tripod mount (GoPro mount adapter included)" It's a little bulky and bigger but holds REALLY well and doesn't droop down from the weight of the Petcube. We really suggest this to go with it. After all you don't want something worth this much drooping and falling to the floor and breaking- am I right?

    Works as advertised

    No problems with setup and everything works as advertised. Night vision is great and the laser (lazer!) works/tracks better than I expected. My internet is verizon fios (lowest/cheapest) and my atnt iPhone has no problem streaming without 4g. Would definitely recommend and I'll likely buy another as a gift. The next version needs a movable camera and a way to physically cover the camera lense (or am I just paranoid for turning the camera around when I'm at home?)

    Exceeds expectations

    This was my first purchase of any kind of nanny cam / video surveillance tool and was pleasanty surprised it can be used for both! It was surprisingly easy to set up, it literally took 2mins, and whallah, instant 'video chat' with your dog and/or whomever is in view. The wide angle is amazing, the whole room is in view and the picture quality is also impressive. My dog (and teenager) respond immediately to my voice, which he says has excellent voice quality, the same as through a smart phone. Being able to not only check in on our new puppy and but also interact with her via voice and engage her in chasing the laser gives me great peace of mind when I have to leave her at home. Such a great interactive product.

    Great way to check in and interact with your pets while away

    This is a really great product if you have pets that love chasing a laser dot. Especially if you are considering a NestCam or another similar product. Basically this has the same functionality of NestCam for the same price (or cheaper), but with the added feature of a laser that you can enable and disable at will and move around the camera's field of view with just the swipe of a finger. My cat gets really excited chasing it around the house and it's fun to both be able to check in on her well being while we're gone and give her (and I both) a moment of shared entertainment.Pros:- High quality 1080p camera w/ night vision- Well constructed, solid, small.- Easy to setup- Competitive with similar products on the market.Cons:- Only works on 2.4Ghz wifi networks- Laser doesn't always align with the camera image but there is a calibration feature.- Most of the time it functions without issue but despite a reasonably fast cable internet connection, I occasionally experienced some multi-second delays and video image recording issues while playing with the laser. The camera occasionally disconnected while in use as well but this was not a deal breaker for me.

    Worth it !!

    A great investment! Brought this product to monitor my dog in his room at night as he has a heart condition. The night vision is surprising clear to what I was expecting and I can also zoom in on him. Instead of using the Petcube to check on my fur baby during the day I use it to monitor him during his sleeping times as I need to keep track of his breathing rate for the vet and this is exactly what I needed to make sure he is ok. It is a little pricey like a baby monitor but worth the price in my opinion. I've read some review about connection problems with the wifi etc, but my Petcube was totally good. Bad thing is they don't send to New Zealand so I had to ask my friend to bring this Petcube back from NY.

It's not as intuitive as I would have liked it to be, but do love that you can have "friends" within the app.-Laser Functions: 4 StarsI would definitely recommend this for cat owners... Unfortunately, my dog had no interest in it.-Customer Support: 5 StarsI was having trouble connecting the app with camera and had to open a support ticket. Luckily, they responded the next day with an explanation saying that there was a connectivity issue with iPhones temporarily. I really appreciated their honestly, quick response, and turnaround time. It worked immediately the next morning.Overall, I would give it 4 stars because of my dog's lack of interest in the laser functionality. Otherwise, great product.

    One of the best products a pet-owner can have - for the pet and the owner !

    I can't speak highly enough about this camera. Although it certainly can be used as a way to check the house while anyone is away, the peace of mind it brings to me as a dog owner (50-pound beagle mix) is priceless. One of the things any pet owner wonders about is what their animal(s) do when the humans of the house are gone. Well, the answer is that they sleep mostly. Without their owners to interact with, they mostly just shift into neutral. Also, for me, it helps to ease my guilt in having to leave my best friend at home when I'm out of the house. Given that, one of the first tasks I had to figure out is where my dog crashes when I'm gone. I placed the camera in different locations in the house (very easy to relocate - just plug it a handy electrical outlet). It took a few tries but I finally figured out that she spends most of the time in my bed. So, that's where it is so I can check on her while I'm away. I am also a travel trailer owner and, in the past, I've worried about how she was doing when I'm out sightseeing or hiking. Campgrounds tolerate but don't like noisy, barking dogs! Now I'll be able to spy on her when I'm away from the camper. Of course, the campground will have to have WiFi for the camera to broadcast to my iPhone, but most of them do these days. I don't use the two-way voice feature. I tried it and she freaked out trying to find me in the empty house. Other pets may react differently and this feature may benefit the owners, but my dog had a "connipition fit" trying to find me. Equally, I don't use the laser pointer since I have it located in my bedroom. I'm not sure how she would react to that ! It was super easy to set up and the App walks you through the steps to do it. It's packaged beautifully and packed securely and safely for shipping and gift-giving. The color camera image is crisp and clear and the night-vision feature works wonderfullly. It also has a sensor you can activate (if you wish) that will alert you with a sound signal on your smart phone if there is a loud noise or exaggerated movement in the house (like knocking over a table lamp or the dog barking at intruders). I've seen similar products priced lower and higher, but for the money this one has the most features and dependability. I wish it had an on/off switch so I could turn it off when not needed, but I just unplug it so it's not a big inconvenience. Oh - one thing ... if you sign up for others to be able to watch your pet in the Petcube Community, just remember that anyone can see what's going on in front of that camera - even YOU doing God knows what !!! I know the price looks a little high, but this baby is worth every dollar in features and build quality. Oh - and they have super and fast customer service! I had to email for a little question and they responded within an hour. I am a TOTALLY satisfied customer !!

    I just needed to add a airport express to extend my Wi-Fi to the better part of my house i'm very impressed with their ...

    Well my Petcube play is now working perfectly but it took some time to get it right. My problem was that I didn't have enough Wi-Fi in the front room where I wanted to keep the cube. And so it wouldn't connect with the camera. But with Petcube's help, and I must say they spent several hours on the phone with me and then connected with me a number of times via email and were willing to do what was needed, we got the thing working. I just needed to add a airport express to extend my Wi-Fi to the better part of my house i'm very impressed with their customer care and so far I am really enjoying my Petcube play. It is alleviating some of my separation anxiety. I was told the dog would have separation anxiety but actually it is me. She's a wonderful puppy.

    Love my Petcube

    Love my Petcube!!! It was easy to install and the camera quality is superb. Love the 360 angle and the fact that I can talk with my furbabies as well as play with them using the built-in laser. Great price for a great peace of mind!!!

    It was super easy to hook up with bluetooth

    I'm SOO obsessed with my Petcube Play. It was super easy to hook up with bluetooth, and basically connected right automatically. I can't believe it's this easy to start having phone calls with my pup!

    This is the worst product I have ever purchased

    I had several issues with the first cube I purchased. After many conversations with the company and attempts to troubleshoot, they very kindly agreed to replace the item. It was definitely an issue with the first one.The replacement arrived very quickly, as promised, and within 10 minutes it was up and running great. I appreciate great customer service and am very very happy to have peace of mind to watch the puppy when I have to be out.

    Love it!

    I love my Petcube Play - it was easy to set up and calibrate. I love being able to check in with my cat and play with her while I'm away. The picture is crystal clear and the cord is long enough so that I can position it exactly where I want it. Some advice - if you can't connect to your Petcube when using public wifi, turn off your wifi and use cell data - it will connect right away.

    High-quality video!

    PetCube Play is a high-quality product! The resolution of the video is so crisp and clear. We have Ring installed at our front door to monitor the exterior of our house and the quality of video with PetCube Play far surpasses that of Ring. I wish Ring was as clear as PetCube. And, you can view a good amount of area with each cube. It's great to monitor your pet(s) since you can see clearly anything that they are into!

    Love my petcube play

    I purchased the petcube so I could spy on my little furry monster while I am away from the house. I didn't realize that there are two different set ups for the petcube camera and the petcube play, however the customer service was amazing and I had the camera up and running in minutes. The app is super easy to use and the video quality is great. I purchased the rose gold and I love it! I do wish the face was a lighter color, not black, it would look better with the rose gold body. Overall, I love my petcube play!

    Nice pet monitor

    Nice images and I like the ability of listening in on my pet. My biggest wish is that it would pan around the room but I knew going in that it didn't. Pretty nice camera especially with no subscription required. The laser is a total waste for dog owners.

    Fun interactive toy and a practical camera all in one!

    Petcube is a lot of fun. I got it so I could watch my little Havanese while I am at work. I found it to be really easy to set up. Just plug in, install the app on your phone, log on to your WiFi on the phone app and voil you have a picture. The laser works very well but the trick is to swipe instead of tap to move it around. The speaker works amazingly well. It is really cool to be able to talk to your pet. The camera doubles as a security camera and gives you a very wide angle shot on a room. The picture is surprisingly good with very low light. The camera design is sleek and easy to place anywhere. If you want to use the laser you need to set it close to the edge of the surface you use otherwise the table or surface interferes with the laser. It has a rubber bottom to help it grip and not slide off of things. Another cool feature is the tripod mount. A tripod works great with the laser feature and allows you to set up the camera at any height and place in the room. I love that you can take picture and video of your pet when the dont know you are there. You can even share them with other people. I highly recommend the Petcube. LOTS of FUN!

    Never feel like you're away from your pets

    I bought this as a gift for my sister and her Pitbull mix and she absolutely loves it. She tries to have someone with her dog at most times but on the occasion when she can't bring her to work or she can't have someone watch her this is the perfect substitute. The video and audio quality are great - video is best during daylight but still works at nighttime as well. She also loves how sleek it looks - I bought her the rose gold one and it looks perfect in her chic apartment. I was even surprised that her dog played with the lasers as well, I thought this would only work with cats. Highly recommend for anyone who has to leave their dog unattended at times.

    Hi tech gives peace of mind

    Two dogs make for lots of fun but also more worry when we're not home to monitor their play or possible mischief. Petcube Play has eliminated the mystery! With incredibly sharp video image and audio housed in a very sleek, compact case, it has been a riot watching our furry kids via the PetCube app, playing, napping & interacting with the fun laser pointer! Set up was simple & quick, love the peace of mind this hi tech system has provided! A must-have if you're away from your pets for any length of time.

    Great product! Very happy!

    Couldn't be happier with my Petcube! I have a French Bulldog, which are known for being lazy, and I thought that she wouldn't pay attention to the laser. What a mistake that was! She goes crazy for it and it's a good way to get her up and out of bed throughout the day.The wide angle of the lens gives great coverage, the image is amazing, and is still impressive in the dark.The app is very user friendly and works great, love that there's a social media component to it too.I would certainly recommend this for all loving pet parents who want to keep an eye on their fur baby's during the day.

    My Wife loves the Petcube Play

    Got this as a gift for my wife and she loves it. Had some issues getting it setup and working but eventually got (I'm not very tech oriented). Picture quality is good but the sound is not all that great but tolerable. The laser pointer lacks a little ( may be the connection?) but our dogs are not interested in it any way. Again my wife loves it, it's nice to check in on our pack when we are not home.

    Great Connected Device for Pets!

    I bought the Petcube Play after comparing it to the other options out there. The big feature that made it stand out was the interactive laser along with night vision.We bought it to be able to check in and play with our cat during short trips and while at work. I went into it a little skeptical based on some of the reviews here about connectivity issues. The only issue I had was at startup. The video stopped working after a little bit and I reset it again and tried to follow the directions to the "T". After that it has worked very well. Video quality is good as long as the connection is good with only occasional blips. Sound quality is a bit distracting because there is some "echo" type issues that cause spoken audio to feed back into the unit. It works well enough though. The laser interaction works well when the cat does decide to play. The tapped placement of the laser isn't always precise but again...does it really need to be?The app is really nice...its fun to log on and check out other people's pets and even play a little with them. It's nice to be able to choose to let others play with your pet too when you might be busy.I hope they continue to expand the feature set via firmware updates and improve the robustness of the software. So far it has been great and it looks like a real help in keeping our cat entertained!

    This thing is really really cool. Pros

    This thing is really really cool.Pros:Playing with other peoples animals and seeing how clean their apartments are is really really fun.Setting at timer for when other people can remote in and play with your animal is great, especially when I don't want my nakedness on camera.Great quality video and night vision is above and beyondThe phone app is top notch and really easy to use. So glad they understand user experience.Has a tripod mount if you want to tilt cameraSmall and unnoticeable (much better than previous version). Great design.ConsMicrophone was obnoxiously noisy. Kept making loud crackling sounds. I think it was picking up the small taps I was making on my phone with my fingers.Laser doesn't point down when it's lying flat so unless it's tilted you probably won't get a great ground experience.Latency on laser movement was a little annoying but not terribleThey could have included a very inexpensive tilting mount. That might have helped a little with my feeling on the price point.Slightly too expensive to keep me from looking for alternatives. Just a hair not worth it for me, but I'm trying to budget these days.Fantastic product altogether. So good to see something of this quality come from kickstarter.

    It was easy to set up and the app works well

    Our daughter heard about PetCube from several cat rescue sites she follows. So we got her one for Christmas. It was easy to set up and the app works well. Turns out last time my wife went to feed the cat, my wife pulled out her cell phone and the cat went right to the wall where the laser pointer hits...the cat didn't realize the app was only on our daughter's phone!!!

    Great gift for those with pets.

    Bought this as a gift for my brother and his wife, and it was well-received. Functioned as promoted and promised. They use it daily and have not had any problems, other than connectivity, which was not the device's fault. Worth the reactions from my bro and his wife.

    This is going to cause me to get fired

    This cube is so much fun! I received it as a gift and after one day, I've already gotten so much enjoyment out of it. I state that it's going to get me fired because I keep playing with my pets while at work. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the laser lags a little, even though I have broad band internet, so playing with it isn't the same as a hand held pointer. That being said, it still tons of fun and I'm glad that I have it!

    Really love this. Works well everywhere

    Really love this. Works well everywhere. We recently took a trip and had a pet sitter stay with the pets. We could check on the pets often and see what was happening at home. Also has night vision which is great in dim light. My pets don't seem to care too much about the laser. It's a great idea and i love seeing my pets anytime. You can also take video or photos of them on your phone from the Petcube play. Highly recommend.

    The setting up process was easy but it took longer than I expected

    I was very excited to try out the newer edition of the pet cube. The setting up process was easy but it took longer than I expected. It took me 15 mins to finally located the device from my android phone and started working. The laser has slower reaction than I expected (2-3 sec delay) Over all I would rate this device a four star since it does help me to clearly see my pet's status during the day and I like that you can speak to your pets.

    Best modern invention for pet lovers!

    The Petcube is so awesome! I recommend it to anyone who has a pet they love and miss when they are away from home. The audio is really clear and my two german shepherd dogs understand everything spoken to them. In fact, we caught one of them eating tissues out of a tissue box and I turned the audio on and told him to stop! He did and he was very puzzled as to how I could see him being mischievous. Its a great way to keep tabs on your pet! Well worth the expense, for sure.

    Wonderful!!

    My husband bough this for Christmas and it is a wonderful product! I love being able to check up on our pets while at work or out running errands. It's give me piece of mind and it's fun to play with. One of our dogs goes crazy for the lazer and enabling the auto play allows for her to be entertained even when we aren't home. I also love the Care feature- it captures significant movement so even when we aren't viewing we never miss a thing. Our other dog just had surgery so this is a great way for us to keep an eye on her to make sure she's happy and healthy! By far, the very best gift!-Only side note is we bought a signalBooster for our internet. This isn't a negative in the product. The stronger the internet signal the less lag and better the video!

    I love my Petcube! It is great being able to watch my puppy at home and know that she is content, comfortable and happy in her room. I love the laser feature and being able to say hello to her. She loves to chase the laser around the room and hear my voice. It breaks up the work day and her day!

    Happy!!!

    So my cube connected to my wifi but would stay online. I could access every other Device via wifi at home. After a weekend playing with it and contacting Petcube support having be remove and add back in, reset, and trouble shoot a million possible resolutions, I contacted Amazon support. I should have started there. I can send back mine and within 18 hrs after putting in the request they already shipped me a new one. Great support!! Cannot wait to get my new cube.
