Best Pet Camera of 2026: Furbo, Petcube, and Enabot
The best pet camera for you depends on what you value for your pet. Personally, I never knew I needed a pet camera, but after trying several models, I don’t think I can 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 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° ($49), 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).

Updated October 2026: I’ve added the SwitchBot Pan/Tilt Cam Plus 3K and Amazon Blink Mini 2K+ to Others Tested, and retested the Enabot Ebo Max FamilyBot. I’ve also ensured up-to-date links and prices throughout.
I love that this affordable model has most of what every pet parent looks for in a pet camera: it dispenses treats, pans so you can see the whole room, and, if you subscribe, provides daily highlights, broken down by activity or motion. There’s also seven-day storage and a report with 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; supports two-way audio so you can hear, talk to, and see your pet; and dispenses treats 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 seem to find alarming and perplexing. It can sit on a flat surface without drilling, and like all Furbo cameras I’ve tested, this one is only compatible with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (5 GHz isn’t supported).
As with most 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 captures photos and sends safety alerts about hazards like smoke or falling objects, along with chewing or barking/meowing alerts. It can also spot intruders. The video clips are stored in the cloud, so you can review the footage at any time.
Although it's a great pet camera overall, this model shares a pitfall that affects the rest of the brand’s lineup: Its features are seriously limited unless you pay for Petcube’s upgraded Care plan (which starts at $4 a month), which includes video storage, pet detection, and automatic video recording. Even so, this camera has 360 PTZ rotation, 1080p HD resolution, 8x digital zoom, two-way audio, and night vision. Getting all of these included bells and whistles for around $50 makes this camera a super-affordable buy.
Optional mounting requires some tools, which can make setup tricky. Once up and running, the camera feed rotated smoothly, and with the wide, fisheye-like lens and pan-and-tilt capabilities (including up and down), I could 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 added security. I was pleasantly surprised by this 360 PTZ camera and its seriously affordable price.
This dual camera features 3K high definition, with a 360-degree rotating top camera and a stationary camera below for even more coverage. There’s also live view, two-way chat, night vision, and 6X zoom. AI detection alerts you to events like barks, meows, loud noises, and fire—really anything alarming. Through the app, you can view live footage, review footage stored on the microSD card or in
