The best pet cameras to keep an eye on your furry friend

Not just perfect for keeping an eye on your pets, this Furbo Dog Camera distributes a treat with just a push of a button so you can reward them for being such a good boy or girl while you’re away from home. If the treats don’t work to keep them happy and calm until you’re back with them, you can also send audio through the app on your smartphone that’s connected to the camera so your precious pet can hear your voice.

Customer review: "I bought this to give myself some peace of mind while I am away from home. It definitely does that. My dogs recognise when it is in use as the light changes from yellow to blue (colours dogs can see). They quickly learned to recognise the noise it makes to signal that treats are coming and come to get them very eagerly. They also seem to recognise my voice when I speak to them through the microphone and will obey commands I give them."

You may already be familiar with Ring for making security doorbells and floodlight cameras for outside of your property, but they also do an indoor camera so you can keep an eye on your furry friend. It's all connected to the same Ring smartphone app that you use for outside security so if you're already a Ring user, it'll seamlessly integrate with your current setup. With Live View and Two-Way Talk, you can check in on your pet at any time and chat to them to reassure them if needed.

Customer review: "Perfect for checking in on the dog or while away. Clear picture and simple to follow instructions for set up. Highly recommend."

Powered by a built-in battery, the EZVIZ Battery Camera works for up to 40 days on a full charge so day-to-day cables do not limit you and you can pop it wherever works best in your home. It also has a magnetic base for easy installation. Just remember to regularly put it on charge when you're back at home so it doesn't run out when you need to use the camera the most.

Customer review: "This convenient little magnetic based camera is a game changer! As you’d expect can pop it ANYWHERE and not just on metal as it comes with a metal disk that can be attached to any surface, and the camera base to that! Genius! The battery life is good so doesn’t need charging more than once a week but can also be connected to the mains. Perfect for a power cut as it keeps running! So good I bought another 2 and will probably buy a few more! 5 stars."

If you suspect your pet is up to no good or you're just concerned about what they're doing the Little elf Smart Camera is fitted with 360-degree motion tracking so it’ll follow your pet around the room. Plus, once motion is detected at home, you’ll get a notification to your smartphone so you’ll never miss those moments of pure cuteness or minutes of mischief. It’s also fitted with intelligent technology that will detect whether it’s daytime or nighttime based on the light available so you’ll get the best picture for the conditions.

Customer review: "I've installed this camera in my room to keep an eye on my cat when I'm away, at work or elsewhere. It's easy to set up (connects to house WiFi network), easy to operate through the handy app and provides with remote access to my room anytime and from anywhere! Some of the features include night vision, event recording, human recognition, speech allowance, following the object, remote rotation/positioning/zoom and all with a great picture quality! Takes up to 120GB SD card to record onto and can save as well onto a cloud storage or phone. I honestly am extremely happy with it and looking forward to getting more of them to cover other rooms and areas. Great product for very accessible price! Really recommend! 🙂👍"

The Blink Mini Indoor Plug-In Pet Security Camera may be small in size but it's big on features. You can see, hear and speak to your pets in your home straight from your smartphone, thanks to the Blink Mini's live view and two-way order. Whether you're heading out for work during the day or heading out for the evening, you'll be able to clearly see your beloved fluffy bestie because it's equipped with day and night HD video.

Customer review: "Bought this to monitor an elderly family member remotely, but ended up using it to watch out new puppy. Excellent all round performance, easy set up and operation. Would like to have the option to record feed without subscription, say to Amazon prime picture cloud or similar, but otherwise no complaints."

This Wansview camera is great for someone who needs a quick, easy solution to keeping an eye on your pet. You can even edit the sensitivity of motion so that your alerts aren't so frequent. Another with two-way audio and 1080p resolution, this is a staple choice for a new pet camera. You can grab this in black or white to suit your room.

Customer review: "Only had the camera a couple of days but it was quite easy to set up and the app is reasonably good. Took a bit of time to find where I can watch clips that are saved on my memory card (refuse to pay for a subscription)."

The picture quality is the biggest selling point of the Winees Pet Camera WiFi Security Camera, with a 1080p resolution and night vision - you can keep an eye on your furry friend at all times of the day. This one is a little bit tricky to set up because a micro SD card isn't included so you'll have to grab one of those. Otherwise, though, we like that it has sound and motion detection as well as two-way audio.

Customer review: "Excellent picture. You Can move the camera position by moving your fingers on the phone screen when you keep an eye on your pets. It has a two-way mic so can calm animals if getting boisterous. The picture is so clear and easy to install. The picture screen shorted from mobile whilst out - well worth the money. Easy to set up elsewhere. We change rooms and use it for grandson when he stays."
