Reliable notifications, pet detection features, and high-quality videos are a must. Additional features, like treat tossers and laser pointers, promise to help you engage with your cat while you\u2019re away, but they tend to cost more, both upfront and in monthly fees.<\/p>\n<p>After testing out some of the top security cameras on the market, I\u2019ve concluded that for most cats, pet-specific cameras probably aren\u2019t worth it. All three of the pet cams I tried were unnecessarily expensive and required a subscription to unlock basic features found in lower-priced security cameras.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why my overall favorite cat camera is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0856W45VL\/?tag=wwwallabou001-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Eufy\u2019s Solo Indoorcam P24<\/a>. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0856W45VL?tag=wwwallabou001-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">$39.99<\/a>, this camera builds upon great video quality and a great user interface with plenty of pet-specific detection features and notifications. It doesn\u2019t have any kind of treat tosser or <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/are-laser-toys-safe-for-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">laser pointer<\/a>, but you can still engage with your cat via 2-way voice communication. The video is clear and consistent, and you get everything you need without an expensive subscription.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re set on getting a fun cam with cat-focused bells and whistles, the Furbo 360 Dog Camera may be a better option, but remember that the fun comes at a price\u2014the unit itself costs over $200, and full functionality through a subscription starts at almost $60 a year. Read on to get the details on all five of my recommendations.<\/p>\n<h2>At a Glance: Our Top Picks for Best Pet Cameras for Cats<\/h2>\n    <style>\n        .cliverse-stat-blocks { margin: 0 -7.5px 15px; white-space: normal; }\n        .cliverse-stat-blocks:after { display: block; content: \"\"; clear: both; height: 0; overflow: hidden; }\n        .cliverse-stat-blocks .block { flex: none; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: stretch; float: left; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0 7.5px 15px; padding: 10px 5px; width: calc(50% - 15px); min-height: 170px; border-radius: 5px; border: 0.5px solid #BFBEBE; box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25); text-align: center; }\n        .cliverse-stat-blocks .block .img { display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; padding: 5px 0 10px; }\n        .cliverse-stat-blocks .block .img img { width: auto; max-width: 100px; height: auto; max-height: 50px; }\n        .cliverse-stat-blocks .block .text { display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; text-transform: uppercase; line-height: 22px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 300; }\n        .cliverse-stat-blocks .block strong { display: block; width: 100%; line-height: 40px; font-size: 36px; font-weight: normal; }\n\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\n            .cliverse-stat-blocks .block { flex-direction: row; }\n            .cliverse-stat-blocks .block .img { padding: 0; width: 50%; }\n            .cliverse-stat-blocks .block .text { width: 50%; }\n        }\n\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n            .cliverse-stat-blocks { margin-bottom: 0; }\n            .cliverse-stat-blocks { display: flex; align-items: stretch; justify-content: space-between; margin: 0 -15px; }\n            .cliverse-stat-blocks .block { float: none; width: calc(25% - 30px); margin: 0 15px 30px; min-height: 0; }\n            .cliverse-stat-blocks .block strong { line-height: 30px; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 400; }\n            .cliverse-stat-blocks .block .text { line-height: 16px; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; }\n        }\n    <\/style>\n\n    <div class=\"cliverse-stat-blocks\">\n        <div class=\"block block-1\">\n            <div class=\"img\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ribosome\/img\/clock.svg\" alt=\"Clock\">\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                <strong>25<\/strong>\n                <div>hours of<\/div>\n                <div>research<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"block block-2\">\n            <div class=\"img\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ribosome\/img\/eye.svg\" alt=\"Eye\">\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                <strong>15<\/strong>\n                <div>brands<\/div>\n                <div>vetted<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"block block-3\">\n            <div class=\"img\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ribosome\/img\/check.svg\" alt=\"Check\">\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                <strong>5<\/strong>\n                <div>features<\/div>\n                <div>reviewed<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"block block-4\">\n            <div class=\"img\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ribosome\/img\/star.svg\" alt=\"Star\">\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                <strong>5<\/strong>\n                <div>top<\/div>\n                <div>picks<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n<p>We highly recommend looking at the comparison table we have below where we highlighted the features of each product.

reviewed well over a hundred cat products over the last couple of years, including cat tech and gadgets like <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/reviews\/best-self-cleaning-litter-box\" target=\"_blank\"

over 25 hours researching, testing, and reviewing both standard security cameras and those made for pets.<\/p>\n<p>I purchased all of the products independently, except for the two products from Petcube, which the company sent to us for testing.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Tested<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_64171\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

Mallory Crusta \/ Cats.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Before purchasing the products for testing, I did some research on the pet camera and security camera marketplace, identifying the features that set a good camera apart from the rest. After ordering my top 5 candidates, I set up the cameras in my home, positioned in various locations and at different angles.<\/p>\n<p>I took notes on camera quality, how well each unit\u2019s 2-way audio worked, how well they sent notifications, and how much it cost to get the most out of each security camera. Based on that experience and testing, I\u2019ve ranked the five cameras listed below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#1 <\/span>Overall Best: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0856W45VL\/?tag=wwwallabou001-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">Eufy Security Solo IndoorCam P24<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-64164 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eufy-Security-solo-IndoorCam-P24.jpg\" alt=\"Eufy Security solo IndoorCam P24\" width=\"309\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap links-amz\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0856W45VL\/?tag=wwwallabou001-20\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$49.99 At Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$49.99 At Amazon<\/a>\n                        \n<\/div>\n<p>My overall favorite was the Eufy Solo IndoorCam P24 model. It\u2019s not a pet camera, but most of us won\u2019t really need a pet camera\u2014regular security cameras should work just as well for most homes.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0856W45VL?tag=wwwallabou001-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">$39.99<\/a>, the Eufy camera is reasonably priced compared to most pet cameras. And while it doesn\u2019t toss treats or let you play with a laser pointer, it excels in the areas that matter most.<\/p>\n<p>The video quality is the highest of any of the cameras I tested, offering up to 2K resolution streaming video, along with a 125-degree lens, 360-degree panning, and 96-degree vertical tilt for full visibility. Paired with the motion tracking function, this allows you to keep an eye on everything your cat does in the room.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64172\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64172\" class=\"wp-image-64172\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eufy-Security-solo-IndoorCam-P24-1.jpg\" alt=\"Eufy Security solo IndoorCam P24\" width=\"1000\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eufy-Security-solo-IndoorCam-P24-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eufy-Security-solo-IndoorCam-P24-1-624x350.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-64172\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Eufy camera had the best streaming quality of any of the security cameras I tested. Mallory Crusta \/ Cats.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You\u2019re able to set it to detect only certain types of movement, and on pet-only mode, it did a great job of detecting cats in front of the camera and instantly started recording every time my cats passed in front. Notifications were clear and consistent. Perhaps more relevant to barking dogs than cats, sound detection is also available, letting you know if your cat is loudly meowing or knocking something over in the house.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite features was the IndoorCam\u2019s activity zones. By setting an activity zone, you can get notifications when your cat goes into a specific area, like a counter, stovetop, or other danger zone. The pet command feature turns this into a training tool, allowing you to record a custom audio message that will play every time your cat enters the zone.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, you get one week of videos logged on the app, but you can pair it with a non-included microSD card for local storage or pay for a plan to get cloud storage for 30 days or more.<\/p>\n<p>Plans start at $2.99 a month and go up to $9.99 a month.<\/p>\n<h3>What I Liked<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"pro\">\n<li>Offers outstanding streaming video quality<\/li>\n<li>Packed with plenty of features that benefit cat owners<\/li>\n<li>Great functionality with or without a monthly subscription<\/li>\n<li>Allows you to store videos locally<\/li>\n<li>Offers detection zones and pet warnings; helpful for training<\/li>\n<li>Excellent speaker and microphone quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What I Didn\u2019t Like<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"con\">\n<li>Doesn\u2019t toss treats<\/li>\n<li>Doesn\u2019t have a laser pointer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#2 <\/span>Budget Pick: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08R59YH7W\/?tag=wwwallabou001-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Wyze Cam v3 With Color Night Vision<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-64182 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wyze-Cam-v3-Pet-Camera.jpg\" alt=\"Wyze Cam v3 Pet Camera\" width=\"284\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap links-amz\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08R59YH7W\/?tag=wwwallabou001-20\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$35.98 At Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$35.98 At Amazon<\/a>\n                        \n<\/div>\n<p>Rated as the number one recommendation in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-pet-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times guide to the best pet cameras<\/a>, this budget-friendly camera did everything a cat camera should\u2014at less than $30 upfront.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also cheaper in the long term, offering a rolling 2 weeks of free cloud storage and a continuous recording option for less than $2 a month. Disappointingly, this subscription is also required to unlock certain important features, like person and pet detection. If you\u2019re okay with standard motion detection and no custom alerts, you can insert an SD card to store locally and skip the subscription.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64173\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64173\" class=\"wp-image-64173\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wyze-Cam-v3-with-Color-Night-Vision-1.jpg\" alt=\"Wyze Cam v3 with Color Night Vision\" width=\"1000\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wyze-Cam-v3-with-Color-Night-Vision-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wyze-Cam-v3-with-Color-Night-Vision-1-624x350.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-64173\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Wyze cam did a good job of detecting movement. With a paid subscription, it can send notifications only when it sees a pet. Mallory Crusta \/ Cats.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Overall, the Wyze Cam doesn\u2019t have as many features as the Eufy camera. Even on the paid subscription, you can\u2019t record a warning to play whenever your cat enters a certain area or make the camera track your cat around the room. But every customer gets detection zones, reliable motion detection alerts, and sound detection.<\/p>\n<p>While the Wzye microphone wasn\u2019t impressive in my tests, its speakers were loud and clear, meaning that, in theory, you could scold your cat off of a counter or say hello from anywhere.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64174\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64174\" class=\"wp-image-64174 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wyze-Cam.jpg\" alt=\"Wyze Cam\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wyze-Cam.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wyze-Cam-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wyze-Cam-624x351.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-64174\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When I tested the Wyze Cam&#8217;s microphone, I was disappointed. The audio was garbled and faint, with significant lag from a poor connection. Mallory Crusta \/ Cats.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And while it doesn\u2019t capture crystal-clear, booming audio, the Wyze Cam is made to detect smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and send notifications warning you that your cat may be in danger.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I found that it worked competently, doing exactly what I needed it to do.

A month-to-month subscription costs a whopping $6.99 a month or $83.88 a year\u2014for that money, you could upgrade to a better cat food or pay for an extra checkup at the vet.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the box, the camera offers 1080p HD video, turns 360 degrees, and spits out treats on command.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64176\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64176\" class=\"wp-image-64176 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Furbo-360.jpg\" alt=\"Furbo 360\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Furbo-360.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Furbo-360-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Furbo-360-624x351.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-64176\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My cats loved the treat tossing functionality of the Furbo camera. Tossing treats from the app is easy and intuitive. Mallory Crusta \/ Cats.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A Dog Nanny subscription gives you things like motion tracking, carbon monoxide and smoke detector alerts, and a doggie diary\u2014daily (delightful) compilations of your cat\u2019s daily shenanigans set to music. Running and chewing alerts are exciting, but they\u2019re not really relevant to cats. Of course, the subscription is also needed to give you just 24 hours of cloud storage. There\u2019s no local storage option.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, the treat tossing is effective, and my cats loved it. You can fit about a whole bag of Temptations in there, and you can adjust how many treats go out at a time, as well as the strength of each toss and the sound it makes with each dispensation.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I didn\u2019t feel the Furbo 360 Dog Camera offered enough to justify the cost. However, it\u2019s a fun camera, and it\u2019s a good fit for those who are dead-set on a wide variety of pet-specific features, love treating their cat from afar, and are willing to spend up to $6.99 a month for the full use of their cat camera.<\/p>\n<h3>What I Liked<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"pro\">\n<li>Packed with plenty of pet-oriented features<\/li>\n<li>Wide angle camera rotates to give you 360-degree views<\/li>\n<li>Excellent treat tossing functionality; can help with training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What I Didn\u2019t Like<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"con\">\n<li>Cloud storage is minimal even with a subscription<\/li>\n<li>Locks most features behind an expensive paywall<\/li>\n<li>Costly upfront<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#4 <\/span>Best Treat Cam: <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/recommends\/petcube-bites-2-lite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">Petcube Bites 2 Lite<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-64183 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Petcube-Bites-2-Lite-2.jpg\" alt=\"Petcube Bites 2 Lite\" width=\"328\" height=\"378\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap links-amz\">                                <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/recommends\/petcube-bites-2-lite\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"View on Petcube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View on Petcube<\/a>\n                        \n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fpetcube-bites-2-lite-interactive-wifi%2Fdp%2F327666\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$89.99 At Chewy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$89.99 At Chewy<\/a>\n                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08XXKJGKH\/?tag=wwwallabou001-20\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"854592007363\" data-price=\"$89.99 At Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$89.99 At Amazon<\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n<p>If you want a treat cam, but aren\u2019t willing to drop the money on the Furbo 360 Dog Cam, I\u2019d recommend the Petcube Bites 2 Lite.

And it\u2019s marketed specifically to pet owners. No wonder it\u2019s a hit.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, it looks similar to the Wyze Cam, offering the same 1080p HD video streaming, 110-degree wide-angle view, and the option to get custom motion alerts with a subscription.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64178\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64178\" class=\"wp-image-64178 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Petcube-Cam-Indoor-Wi-Fi-Pet-and-Security-Camera-1.jpg\" alt=\"Petcube Cam Indoor Wi-Fi Pet and Security Camera\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Petcube-Cam-Indoor-Wi-Fi-Pet-and-Security-Camera-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Petcube-Cam-Indoor-Wi-Fi-Pet-and-Security-Camera-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Petcube-Cam-Indoor-Wi-Fi-Pet-and-Security-Camera-1-624x351.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-64178\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Petcube Cam offers 1080p HD video, but I found the streaming quality disappointing\u2014both Petcube cams struggled with more connection issues than any of the other cameras I tested.
