I never knew I needed a pet camera, but after trying out several models, I don't think I can ever go into the office or on vacation without one set up at home. A home security camera can give you extra peace of mind when you're out, and pet cameras specifically designed for our furry friends add in helpful features, like the ability to follow your pet around, engage in play, and dispense kibble. Connected to an app on your phone and with cloud storage options, these pet cameras—including our top pick for most people (and pets!), the Furbo Mini 360° ($40), and our compact 360 rotating budget pick Petcube Cam 360 ($47)—ensure you'll never miss a moment in your pet's life when you're away (or at home).

For more peace of mind while you're away from your pet, be sure to check out our related guides, like the Best Automatic Feeders, Best Cat Water Fountains, Best Automatic Litter Boxes, Best Indoor Security Cameras, and Best Outdoor Security Cameras.

Updated April 2026: I've added the Enabot Ebo SE and the Enabot Rola Mini. I've also ensured up-to-date links and prices throughout.

Furbo

Mini 360°

$49 $40 (18% off) Amazon

$99 $35 (65% off) Furbo

$57 Newegg

This affordable model has most things every pet parent is looking for in a pet camera: it dispenses treats; pans so you can see the whole room; and, if you subscribe, has highlights from the day, broken down by activity or motion. There's also seven-day storage, and a report of insights into your pet's daily activities. It pans left and right so you can see the entire surrounding area; has super-clear 1080p HD color and night-vision resolution; two-way audio so you can hear, talk to, and see your pet; and treat dispensing through the app. That said, you can’t schedule feedings or change the amount dispensed, and when dispensing treats, it makes a jarring, loud chirping noise that my cats seemed to find alarming and perplexing. Unlike other pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, you don't need to drill to install, but it does have a surface mount. Like all Furbo cameras I've tested, this one is only compatible with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (5 GHz isn't supported).

As is true of the majority of pet cams, you'll need to subscribe to a service to access the best features (starting at $8 per month with a yearly subscription). Furbo’s Nanny service snaps pics and sends safety alerts about things like smoke or fallen objects, along with chewing or barking/meowing alerts. It can spot intruders, too. The video clips are stored in the cloud, so you can review the footage at any time.

This camera from Petcube is great overall, but it suffers from a pitfall that affects the rest of the brand's lineup: The features are seriously limited if you don't want to pay for Petcube's upgraded Care plan (which starts at $4 a month) that includes video storage, pet detection, and automatic video recording capabilities. Even so, this camera has 360 PTZ rotation capabilities, 1080p HD resolution, 8X digital zoom, two-way audio, and night vision. Getting all of these included bells and whistles for around $50 lands this camera as a super-affordable get.

There's optional mounting that requires some tools, making setup potentially tricky. Once up and running, the camera feed rotated smoothly, and with the wide fish-eye-like lens and panning abilities (including up and down), I was able to clearly see more of the room than I thought possible. It covered more space than most pet cameras I've tested. Plus, with the new privacy mode, you can easily turn off the camera lens for more securi
