Pet
Cams
Recent numbers show that 63% of US households own a pet - that's 71.1 million
homes and families with dogs, cats, iguanas, parakeets, fish, ferrets and potbellied
pigs. Animal companionship is often a valuable part of a pet owner's life, and
owner and pet can form deep relationships that span many years. Surveillance
cameras for pets, especially mobile anmials like dogs and cats, can
help assure their owners of their pets well-being while out of town, or ensure
that dogs and cats don't cause damage while the owner is away. Surveillance
cameras for pets are the perfect solution for the concerned pet owner.
Benefits of PetCams
- Keep Pets Safe
- IP cameras near kennels, cages and enclosures allow owners to check up on
animals while at work or away from home. Using network-enabled cameras means
that owners can check in on beloved pets whenever they feel
like it, from a computer or cell phone.
- Track
Pet Movement - Modern IP security cameras with motion detectors can
notify owners when pets enter rooms - perfect for the watchful,
caring owner, or for the pet who can't stay away from fragile furniture and
collectibles. Set cameras in areas where pets commonly enter and exit,
and watch the alerts come in (by email or in some cases, by phone)
- Catch special
moments - pets often provide hilarious and touching respites from everyday
life, and many of these can happen during the work day or go unnoticed. Not
with a petcam! Catch all the hilarious moments - whether
it's a cat playing with a string or a fish doing some topsy-turvy aqua acrobatics,
you won't miss a thing with a petcam.
Risks of PetCams
- Breaking - Cameras
placed low on the ground or in a room with an animal run the risk of being
broken, especially with an active pet like a dog or cat.
This risk is reduced with enclosed animals like rodents or reptiles, and fish
in an aquarium.
IP Camera Configurations
for Pet Monitoring
Video surveillance
solutions for petcams are dependent on many different factors.
Consider each of the following when purchasing and installing
your security cameras:
- What
kind of animal or animals do you want to monitor?
- Where
do you want pet cams to record?
- What kind of
activity do you want to capture?
Animal Surveillance
Camera Setup Advice
- Place cameras
in areas you know pets frequent
- For observing
animals in cages, aquariums or other enclosures, take care
to put the camera in a location that captures as much as the area as possible,
but does not have a lot of glare from incoming light or is
far enough away that it is away from any possible danger.
- For outdoor
pets, place your camera in a protective enclosure.
- Consider an
IP camera with remotely controlled Pan/Tilt/Zoom capabilities
for on-the-go configurations.
