Check cats and dogs while at work with a pet camera or a suitable indoor security camera. Start with the feeding area, cat tree or doorway you need to see. Camera position and a clear view matter alongside resolution.
Features for watching cats and dogs
Use a fixed view for a regular activity area, or pan and tilt to inspect another direction. Check the resulting blind spots.
Pet detection, pet tracking and sound alerts are separate features. Do not assume every model includes all three.
Check microphone and speaker functions for two-way audio, then compare how footage is saved and whether storage has a fee.
Place the camera and cables where pets cannot chew or knock them over. If you need the beginning of an incident, check event triggering and any pre-recording support. A live view or notification does not establish that a complete clip has been saved.
