Individual Product Reviews
Furbo 360° Dog Camera
Best for: dog owners who want treat dispensing plus full rotation
Furbo remains the best-known name in pet cameras, and the 360° model adds full pan rotation to its signature treat-tossing feature, so you can follow your dog around the room rather than watching a fixed view.
1080p video with colour night vision and two-way audio rounds out a genuinely well-built package, and no subscription is required for the core features.
What we like:
- Full 360° rotation follows your dog around the room
- Treat tossing genuinely helps with separation anxiety
- No subscription required for core features
Worth knowing:
- The most expensive camera in this list
- Treat hopper needs refilling and can jam with irregular-shaped treats
Specifications:
- Resolution: 1080p, colour night vision
- Feature: 360° rotation, treat toss, 2-way audio
- Subscription: not required for core features
- Connectivity: WiFi, phone app

PETLIBRO Scout AI Pet Camera
Best for: mid-range buyers wanting AI pet recognition and pan/tilt coverage
This pan/tilt camera uses AI to recognise and track pets around the room, along with multi-pet recognition and behaviour tracking for households with more than one animal.
It doesn’t dispense treats, but the pan/tilt movement and AI tracking give better room coverage than a fixed camera at a similar price.
What we like:
- AI tracking follows pets automatically
- Multi-pet recognition suits multi-pet households
- Pan/tilt gives wider room coverage than fixed cameras
Worth knowing:
- No treat dispensing feature
- AI accuracy and reliability get a more mixed response in reviews
Specifications:
- Resolution: 1080p, colour night vision
- Feature: pan/tilt, AI pet and behaviour tracking
- Subscription: optional
- Connectivity: WiFi, phone app
Closer Pets TreatView Pet Camera
Best for: cats and dogs, treat tossing on a budget
This UK-focused camera brings treat-tossing to a lower price point than Furbo, alongside standard live video and two-way audio through a companion app.
It won’t match Furbo’s polish, but for owners who mainly want the treat-toss feature without the premium price, it’s a reasonable middle ground.
What we like:
- Treat dispensing at a lower price than premium alternatives
- Works for both cats and dogs
- Straightforward app setup
Worth knowing:
- Fewer reviews than more established brands, so track record is shorter
- Video quality and app polish trail the market leaders
Specifications:
- Feature: treat dispenser, live video, 2-way audio
- Compatibility: iOS and Android
- Connectivity: WiFi, phone app
Ring Indoor Camera (2nd Gen)
Best for: Alexa households, simple monitoring
Ring’s plug-in indoor camera isn’t pet-specific, but its reliable 1080p video, two-way talk and easy Alexa integration make it a solid, affordable way to simply check in on a pet during the day.
It lacks any pet-specific features like treat dispensing, but the trade-off is a lower price and a well-established, trusted brand.
What we like:
- Reliable video quality from an established brand
- Easy Alexa integration for smart-home households
- Straightforward plug-in setup
Worth knowing:
- No pet-specific features like treat dispensing
- Full recording history needs a Ring subscription
Specifications:
- Resolution: 1080p HD
- Feature: 2-way talk, WiFi, privacy cover
- Subscription: 30-day free trial, then optional
- Design: plug-in, DIY install
Blink Mini 2
Best for: budget pick, occasional checking in
Blink’s compact plug-in camera offers colour night vision, a built-in spotlight and motion detection at one of the lowest prices in this list, working with Alexa for voice control.
It’s a sensible choice for owners who just want occasional peace of mind rather than a full pet-monitoring setup.
What we like:
- Very affordable for a reliable branded camera
- Colour night vision and built-in spotlight
- Works with Alexa
Worth knowing:
- No pet-specific features
- Cloud storage for recordings needs an optional subscription
Specifications:
- Resolution: HD, colour night vision
- Feature: built-in spotlight, motion detection
- Compatibility: works with Alexa
- Design: compact plug-in
Buying Guide: How to Choose the Best Pet Camera
What to Look For
Decide whether treat dispensing matters to you — it’s genuinely useful for separation anxiety but adds cost and another thing to keep topped up.
Two-way audio lets you speak to your pet remotely, which can be reassuring for both of you during the settling-in period.
Key Features Explained
Pan/tilt or full rotation cameras give wider room coverage than a fixed camera, which matters more in larger rooms.
Colour night vision is worth prioritising if your pet is active after dark, since black-and-white night vision loses a lot of detail.
Subscription or No Subscription?
Some cameras store recordings locally or briefly for free, while full recording history and alerts typically need a paid subscription.
If you mainly want live viewing rather than a recorded history, a camera with strong free features is worth prioritising.
How Much Should You Spend?
A basic security-style camera used for pet monitoring starts from around £25-35, while dedicated pet cameras with treat dispensing sit between £75-150.
The jump in price for treat-dispensing cameras generally buys a mechanical hopper, AI tracking, or both.
Frequently asked questions
Do pet cameras work for cats as well as dogs?
Yes, all the cameras in this list work equally well for cats — treat-tossing cameras in particular are popular for keeping bored indoor cats entertained.
Does a pet camera need to be left on 24/7?
No, most cameras can be scheduled or switched on only when you’re out, which also helps with data usage and, for battery-powered models, battery life.
Are pet cameras secure?
Reputable brands use encrypted connections and require account logins, but it’s worth using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication where available.
What WiFi do I need for a pet camera?
A stable home WiFi connection is generally enough for live viewing; 2.4GHz networks tend to have better range through walls than 5GHz for this kind of device.
Conclusion
The Furbo 360° Dog Camera remains the most complete option if treat dispensing and full room coverage matter to you.
For simpler day-to-day monitoring without the extra features, the Ring Indoor Camera or Blink Mini 2 offer reliable video at a much lower price.
