Petcube Play 2 Wi-Fi Pet Camera with Laser Toy for Cats & Dogs, 1080P HD Video, 160° Full-Room View, 2-Way Audio, Sound/Motion Alerts, Night Vision, Pet Monitoring App

Let me start this review by stating (because many product pages are overrun with inflated fake 5-star reviews now) I have not been compensated or encouraged in any way, shape, or form by the seller to write a review or give the product a rating. I have chosen to write this review simply because I wanted to.I have been a long time amazon shopper and typically never write reviews for products. However, the PetCube 2 Play has made my girlfriend so happy that I felt I had to share some of the positivity. First, the elephant in the room. This is at the time of writing this review a $200.00 dollar product. Now let me tell you why it MIGHT be worth the high price tag.Setting up the product was extremely easy. Depending on how savvy you are with technology it should take anywhere from 5 - 20 minutes. The product does require a Wifi network to function and of course, is going to work best with a compatible smartphone. Once you link the product into the Wifi network it's pretty much ready to go.It comes with Alexa built-in and can be controlled by the smartphone app when away from the house.The video quality is very good and the device powers on with a distinctive chime when it powers on that will likely condition your pet to get interested every time they hear it. The laser function works great as well, of course, there is some lag however this does not affect your ability to use the laser to play with your pet. The Zoom and night vision function also works well. No, you won't be able to see every tiny detail in the pitch-black dark but you can still see enough to see your pet, move the laser around a bit, and make sure they're still there which is ultimately the point of the product. Not to count the hairs on their head in the dark so I won't penalize the product for not having $2,000.00 nightvision equipment built-in. You can also use the device to speak through and the product works great at performing this function with no issues but I will say the benefit of this will probably depend on your particular pet. In our case the cats show no interest when you talk to them over the device however that is probably how they would react in you were in the same room.Ultimately, if you're the type of person that needs to check in on your pets while you're away or if you just want to stimulate your pet with the laser to wake them from deep boredom while you're at work or such then the PetCube 2 play is definitely a good product and does what it claims. Personally, I am not that type of person and don't feel the need to watch my pets with a video camera however my girlfriend is and used to experience a lot of anxiety when away worrying about her cats. After a week of using the product my girlfriend actually cried when she told me how happy she was that I had given this to her and how much stress it took out of her daily life. So if you have a girlfriend, wife, husband, aunt, grandma, or sister who is constantly stressed about leaving their pet alone without knowing if they're okay then the $200.00 is worth the peace of mind and stress relief it will bring. If you just want a camera to watch your house while you're gone there are more cost-effective options out there. Again, I will reiterate that these words and review is my own and in no way was I compensated or encouraged by the seller to review or rate this product. Thanks for reading my thoughts!

Right after delivery we unpacked Petcube with my cat. He was interested into it and sniffed each part of this new device. Setup process was very easy, scanned QR code, installed app and signed up a few minutes. We use Amazon Echo and were glad that Alexa integrated with Petcubeso we can send command to Petcube. I've read that I can tell command like "Alexa ask Petcube I play with my pet for 5 minutes" and game should start, but Alexa told that she doesn't know the command. Later I've found that I need to add new skill to Alexa, through its menu. It's good to have detailed information about that in user help. We very liked night vision camera, because we can play with cat when he walks in another room. Automatic move detection works well, but game start only for few minutes, if we use Alexa we can set how along should Petcube play with cat. The fun thing is that we can call cat to come to Petcube by command "Kitty kitty". At the moment I didn't find another way to start autoplaying with cat except sending command to Alexa, it would be good to see such option directly in Petcube app. One more thing is when Petcube started autoplay after move detection Alexa can't find Petcube in list of my devices so I you can't send command. When we were out of home and had some time we used to call to cat to play with him, manual mode works smoothly, we don't need to keep finger on phone screen, just tapping on certain parts of the screen and laser point moves from one spot to another fluently.Pros:- easy setup- night vision camera- autoplay after move detection- integration with Alexa- smooth moves of laser pointerCons:- unable to start autoplay from the app- movement detection notifications didn't work with app.
