Toucan Seek Pan & Tilt Security Camera - Best runner-up pet camera

So, what does a vet think about them? Dr. Hannah Godfrey says: "Pet cameras can help you monitor your pet and provide reassurance if you have to leave them for a few hours, especially if they're unwell or have a health condition, such as being prone to seizures.

Unlike many other pet cameras, you won't need to purchase a subscription to access all the features. Simply download the Toucan smart home app and it will save your recordings to the cloud — no extra purchases required.

You'll have total control over the camera with the ability to make it pan 355° and tilt 180°. The smart AI technology detects humans and movement and will send you an instant notification whenever it detects motion.

If you want to talk to your pet while you're away, you can do so via the two-way communication feature and hear their response on your phone. The picture quality is pretty good too, with a 1080p HD resolution, plus night vision for when it gets dark.

Toucan Seek Pan & Tilt Security Camera - Best runner-up pet camera - The camera is also compatible with Amazon and Google home devices, giving you hands-free options.

Our tester Chloe says:“It’s easy to view the footage - you can either watch live or see the recordings of any movement. Recordings aren’t kept for long though, unless manually saved. The picture quality is good enough for the intended use. Being able to adjust the camera position remotely from the app is very useful. I’m very impressed with the customer service. There was no wait time on the phone and they were very friendly and helpful.”
