The 10 Best Pet Cameras for Cats

1. Eufy Security 2K Indoor Pet Camera — Best Overall

For those primarily concerned with keeping an eye on their pet, we recommend the Eufy Security 2K Indoor Pet Camera. This camera has a crisp video feed that enables you to see exactly what your cat is doing.

The lens pans 360 degrees horizontally and can tilt 96 degrees vertically. For the most part, this enables you to get a clear view of the whole room. Other pet cameras don’t have this capability.

If you want to know what your cat is doing, you can’t beat the capabilities of this camera. It is also compatible with the Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa. If you have other smart devices in your home, you should be able to integrate this one into your system.

A two-way auto connection enables you to speak to your feline whenever you want. However, this is the only interactive feature. Still, it is easily the best overall pet camera for cats.

2. Petcube Cam HD Monitoring Pet Camera — Best Budget

The Petcube Cam HD Monitoring Pet Camera has a wide-angle lens of 110 degrees, enabling you to take in much of the room with a single camera. It can also see up to 30 feet at night due to its night vision capabilities, so you can also take a look at your feline after the sun goes down.

One of the unique features this camera has is its professional vet contact option, which enables you to quickly speak to a professional through the app should you notice any abnormal behavior. The app will also alert you to any strange behavior and send an alert to your phone.

Meows and other noises can also be detected. The camera can automatically alert you to these sounds. Audio is two-way, so you can also speak to your feline as you need to.

This camera must stay hooked up to Wi-Fi to work, but this is true with most pet cameras on the market.

That said, this product is easily the best pet camera for cats for the money. It is much cheaper than many other options on the market.

3. Furbo Treat Dispenser & Camera — Premium Choice

The Furbo Treat Dispenser & Camera has taken the world by storm as one of the best pet cameras for dogs. However, it also works well for felines.

This camera enables you to live-stream video to your phone from any location. With a 160-degree field of view, you can look through the whole room easily. It also has two-way audio, so you can talk to and hear your cat.

If you fill it up with treats, you can also dispense treats to your feline as necessary. That said, not all cats enjoy the default treats because they’re more for dogs. Still, you can easily fill it up with your cat’s favorite treats instead.

Setup is extremely easy, though you will need to download an app onto your smartphone to use the camera correctly. Luckily, the app is completely free.

A subscription is required to use more features. However, you can use a few basic features without one.

4. Wyze Cam v3 Pet Camera

For the most part, the Wyze Cam v3 Pet Camera is a decent camera. It comes with many of the features that you’d expect and for a moderate price. Plus, it doesn’t require a subscription, like some other cameras.

This camera is one of the few that you can use outside. It has a waterproof design to keep it safe from the elements and has the ability to see in the dark, so you can keep recording at night as well. You can set the camera to alert you whenever it senses motion or sound.

Two-way audio enables you to talk to your cat as necessary. However, it also has a siren button to scare away unwanted visitors — like other cats on your porch, for instance.

Beyond that, this camera doesn’t have much interactivity. It doesn’t dispense treats or anything like that. Many customers also ran into problems during setup.

5. Petcube Bites 2 Camera

Overall, the Petcube Bites 2 Camera is fairly similar to other Petcube cameras. It has a 160-degree field of vision with 1080p video, which is about average as far as pet cameras go. It can also see at nighttime up to 30 feet away and includes an 8x digital zoom.

The main benefit of this camera is that it can dispense treats. It isn’t designed specifically for dogs, though many compatible treats are for dogs, not cats. The dispenser does hold 1.5 pounds, which is far more than most other options.

A two-way audio feature enables you to speak and hear your cat. Like the other Petcube cameras, it has a veterinarian consult through the app. This feature is particularly useful if you notice any strange behaviors.

6. Petcube Play 2 Play Pet Camera

For the most part, the Petcube Play 2 Play Pet Camera is extremely similar to other pet cameras. However, it does come with multiple extras.

For instance, it has a four-microphone array and speaker bar to ensure that you and your cat can speak to each other. The system automatically picks up sound and motion and squishes everything into a video timeline that you can interact with. This cube also has night vision capabilities and uses a free app.

That said, the Petcube company is notoriously bad with customer service. Sometimes, the camera is difficult to set up, and the company probably won’t be much help. The app often freezes regularly, which can make interactions difficult. Also, the app is only available on iPhones.

7. SKYMEE SM-02 Dog Camera Treat Dispenser

The SKYMEE SM-02 Dog Camera Treat Dispenser has a 1080p HD camera, wide-angle view, dual-directional audio, night vision, and wireless connectivity. It also has three gaskets that allow you to change the size of the treats you give your cat.

You can talk to your cat or dispense a treat with an app connected to your phone or Alexa. It’s relatively affordable compared to many models but has a few issues. The treat dispenser sometimes gets clogged and doesn’t eject treats, and several customers had trouble connecting to the app.

However, most users were happy with the SKYMEE’s performance and impressed with the clear image from the camera.

8. Pawbo Wi-Fi Interactive Pet Camera & Treat Dispenser

The Pawbo Wi-Fi Interactive Pet Camera & Treat Dispenser is designed for cats, which is surprising considering that most cat cameras are for dogs. However, that doesn’t mean that this is a great cat camera. Many customers reported that they had a hard time getting it to work. Numerous users also reported bad customer service, especially during setup.

Sometimes, the app doesn’t recognize the camera, which makes it impossible to get it to work. However, if you can get this camera to work, it isn’t all bad. It is quite interactive. You can use the treat dispenser, laser pointer, and ringtones from your smartphone. You can also easily save photos and videos to share with them your friends and family.

9. INSTACHEW Purrsight 360 Degree Wi-Fi Security Cat & Dog Pet Camera

If you don’t want to dispense treats and only need an inexpensive camera to monitor your cat, try the INSTACHEW Purrsight 360 Degree Wi-Fi Security Cat & Dog Pet Camera. You don’t need a monthly subscription to use the camera, but if you want to save videos, you’ll need to purchase an SD card.

The INSTACHEW is smaller than most of the cameras we reviewed, but it rotates 355 degrees and tilts 110 degrees. The picture quality is impressive for such an expensive model, but it has connectivity programs, and some users complained that you have to restore the settings every time you turn the camera off.

10. PARIS RHÔNE 2K Pet Camera

The Paris Rhône 2K Pet Camera has more features than the other models, including a 2k Ultra HD picture, motion detection, enhanced night vision, and two options for storing video. It rotates 360 degrees and allows you to distribute treats with the touch of your phone.

However, the treat dispenser doesn’t always work, and sometimes, you have to repeatedly hit the button on the app for the treat to eject. The app is user-friendly and simple to install, but some pet parents mentioned that the camera was bigger than expected.

It’s much larger than the competitors’ models, and you must position it near ground level to have a clear view of the room and cat. The Paris Rhône’s extra features are excellent, but due to the minor issues, it seems overpriced.

Buyer’s Guide: Selecting The Best Pet Camera for Cats

Choosing a pet camera is a big decision, and if you haven’t picked a favorite, we’ll discuss a few characteristics that can help you decide.

Field of View

Some pet cameras have a limited field of view, but you preferably want one with the widest field of view possible. Otherwise, you may not be able to see your room, which limits your chances of spotting your cat.

Cameras attempt to achieve a wide field of view in multiple ways. Some have a wide-angle lens, and others have rotating bases. They allow you to see more of the room, but they move quite slowly.

Quality

As you may have noticed, some cameras have better picture quality than others. Truthfully, the quality doesn’t matter all that much. You can check on your cat and interact with them without a high-quality camera.

However, a clear HD picture is ideal if you save the videos and post them online.

Interactivity

The most common interactive feature is two-way audio. You’ll be able to hear your cat, and they will be able to hear you. However, the audio is relatively low-quality, so whether your cat will actually recognize your voice is questionable. Still, being able to hear your cat is important.

The next most common feature is treat dispensing. The treat dispenser enables you to shoot treats out with the press of a button. This feature can make your cat’s life a bit more entertaining and is a surefire way for your feline to interact with the camera.

However, the dispensers often don’t work with all treats. If your feline is not interested in treats, you may only need an inexpensive camera. Many of the treats advertised for use with dispensers aren’t especially tasty.

Cost

Compared to most electronic products for cats, pet cameras are relatively inexpensive. You’ll pay more for a camera with better resolution and more features, but you can find several affordable models if you’re on a tight budget. One of the most expensive cameras we reviewed, the PARIS RHÔNE 2K Pet Camera, had a few issues and isn’t worth the price.

Detects Noise and Motion

In many cases, the cameras can detect noise. Therefore, if your cat is meowing, the camera will let you know. Other cameras can detect motion. If your cat moves into the camera’s view, it will send an alert to your phone and let you know.
