Product has a sleek and modern design. Installation is easy- simply download the app to connect the Petcube to your wifi and voila- done. The laser functionality is amazing. I have a 6 month old Shiba who acts just like a cat so she loves it (and so do I). The video is surprisingly clear, and works best in rooms with a lot of natural light. With the Petcube app, you can save video recordings and photos you take with the Petcube straight to your phone. But what I like most about this product is the two-way speaker system- which you can turn on and off (same way you do with the laser). I scared my boyfriend when first testing it out, as the quality of the sound was so clear.

I found nothing great about this product what so ever, the idea behind the product is fantastic the the actual fuctional use is lacking in technical performance. The technical help from pet cube was non existant. They leave you dangaling on your own to try to figure out how to make this product work. Sustomer service policy was horrible, I tried to return the cube and they came up with a lame excuse so that I couldn't get my money back, live and learn I will never buy anything from pet cube and would strongly recommend that this product not be purchased

Cons
Best Uses

- Keep An Eye On Sick Pets

Comments about Petcube - Interactive Wi-Fi Pet Camera:
I originally purchased this to be able to keep an eye on my 9 year old boxer, Penny, who recently began having seizures. In the month that we've owned our Petcube, it has truly benefited all of our pets!
Setup of the camera and the app is simple and intuitive, and only took a few moments.
The Camera quality isn't HD or anything, but it's good. It is more than suitable to keep an eye on your pet.
The sound quality takes a little bit of time to master. You need to speak slowly and softly, at normal indoor levels. As long as you have a decent mic on your phone (we have Galaxy Note Edges), the Petcube speaker will do a fine job of relaying your voice. If you shout into your phone or speak too quickly, your voice becomes hard to understand from the Petcube. There is only a slight lag from phone to petcube, which is to be expected when connecting remotely.
The laser is fun for both humans and pets. We have tons of fun with this! The laser is easy to control with your finger, via the app. You simply move your finger over the video feed, and the laser moves with it. Again, there is a small delay, but it's to be expected.
While our intention in purchasing the Petcube was to keep an eye on our older dog, we quickly found that our younger pup, a 3 year old pit named Loki, has separation anxiety. We would have never known without the Petcube! He cries after we leave. The laser helped alleviate this, as did occasionally telling him "Hello", and that he is a good boy.
We also have a cat, Ella, who practically lives in our oldest daughter's room. When our daughter goes to visit family in Florida a few times a year, the cat is usually inconsolable, and cries incessantly for her missing roommate. Over Spring Break, we set up the Petcube in my daughter's room. She played with the cat a minimum of once a day (using the laser), and it was the first time ever that Ella wasn't upset while Emily was away.
This thing is amazing, and you will not regret purchasing it. I have been and will continue to recommend it to all of my pet-loving friends.

The setup of the Petcube was super easy and I had it working in less than 5 minutes. It was so much fun using the laser to play with my cat. I'm also glad to have a way to check in on my cat while I'm either at work or even traveling. Highly recommend the Petcube to any pet owner.

Lots of fun
Pros
- Easy Setup
- Good Image Quality
- Nicely Built
Cons
- 720px Camera
- Could Be A Bit Smaller
Best Uses
- Monitoring Pets
- Playing Remotely
Comments about Petcube - Interactive Wi-Fi Pet Camera:
Got this to check in and play with our two cats during the day. The product is great, very nicely built and was extremely easy to setup.
It connects to your home wi-fi and you can then view the camera and control the laser pointer remotely via an app on your phone.
The image quality is good, but not perfect. I'd expect this to be one of the first things they'll fix in the next iteration.
The laser is a ton of fun an anyone who has pets knows it's kind of an irresistible attraction, specially for cats. Looking forward on how the software is going to evolve in the future.
Would recommend this if you are away from home most of the day, but would still like to check in on your pets.

Great Product
Comments about Petcube - Interactive Wi-Fi Pet Camera:
Setup was super easy and took literally 2 minutes. I can now keep an eye on my cat when I'm not at home! I can play with him (with the laser) and also talk to him. I like the video recording feature which is great when I'm using the laser to play with him.

uniting pets and their owners coast to coast :)
Comments about Petcube - Interactive Wi-Fi Pet Camera:
About a year and a half ago, I moved out of my family's home in New York to sunny California; along with a new life, I also had to get used to not seeing my puppy Madison everyday. Occasionally I would get photo updates from my mom, but it wasn't the same. When I found PetCube, I wanted to try it out to see if it could bridge the gap that I now had with my dog. After trying it out for a few months, I can say overall I love the connection I can have again with her.
Pros
The video quality of the camera is great along with the sound being very clear. I love the app and how I don't need to be at a computer to check in with Madison. It's very convenient to just be able to boot up my app on my phone whenever. I also like that I can take my own pics of Maddie now instead of waiting for new ones to be texted to me. the community feature is pretty neat so I can see others' pets too :). and I didn't set it up myself (I had to ship it home to where Madison is) so I don't have personal experience setting it up, but my mom was able to get the job done so that's a plus.
Cons
While my end of receiving audio is very good, my dog was getting confused when she heard me talk. Like she would be looking for me and couldn't find me. I guess this doesn't really count as a con of PetCube, but it was sad seeing my dog walk around for me haha. Also the video quality in low-light could be improved. I saw that the next version of PetCube is fixing this so I'm looking forward to seeing that performance. My mom said that the PetCube did not come with a hard-copy of the manual so she had to look it up online when setting up the PetCube. Lastly, the laser wasn't the most fun toy with my dog because she wouldn't notice the laser on the ground, but I suppose this is more a feature for cat owners!
Overall, I'd say the PetCube gets the job done for what I wanted it for which was to be able to easily check-in on my dog whenever I started to miss her. Great product!

Must for every pet parent
Comments about Petcube - Interactive Wi-Fi Pet Camera:
It was really easy to set up, all you have to do is download the app and press the power button in the back and you also have to make sure you're connected to the internet. Plug and play, really easy, no screw drivers or codes to enter.
I didn't calibrate the laser out of box although it does have that setting. Even out of box I still found the laser to be pretty on point to wherever I wanted to press it.
The App was a little hard to use. It didn't really have an introduction to show you where everything is. It took me a while to figure out that you have to "SWYPE LEFT" to accept or decline friend requests. It took me even longer to figure out where shared camera with friends were. Tip: in the PLAY section.
I do like how you can set timing and other restraints on friends and public. For example, if I'd only want my friends to view my pet cam while I am at work 9-5 but use the laser function only and not the sound function that all can be done. I find that the Petcube is really customizable.
So other than an introduction to the App on how to navigate it, I really think that it is extremely useful for pet parents who will be away from their pets for a long duration of time.

Petcube - Not perfect, but great
By Julian
from San Francisco
Comments about Petcube - Interactive Wi-Fi Pet Camera:
The Petcube is cool, but still could use some work. The setup was super easy--didn't take longer than 5 or 10 minutes. The laser pointer lags a bit behind one's finger in the app, but I think that's going to happen (still fun to mess with my dog). I think it would be nice to be able to turn on/off the Petcube from my phone. Also, sharing on the app seems to be kind of confusing, but overall, it's a fun device. Now I get to see that my dog is almost as lazy as I am.

Comments about Petcube - Interactive Wi-Fi Pet Camera:
really like the pet cube - it's a great idea. love that i can check in on my pup and see what he's doing. plus, my family in other states can see him and play with him too. i've had a few difficulties connecting, but not too many - and not sure if it's the wifi or the product itself. i think small improvements would make this amazing - including having the ability to move the camera and the laser from your phone. overall, happy to have this product!

WORST PRODUCT EVER

Comments about Petcube - Interactive Wi-Fi Pet Camera:
I found nothing great about this product what so ever, the idea behind the product is fantastic the the actual fuctional use is lacking in technical performance. The technical help from pet cube was non existant. They leave you dangaling on your own to try to figure out how to make this product work. Sustomer service policy was horrible, I tried to return the cube and they came up with a lame excuse so that I couldn't get my money back, live and learn I will never buy anything from pet cube and would strongly recommend that this product not be purchased
