Watch your pet
from anywhere.
Turn an old phone into a private HD pet cam. Point it at your cat or dog, watch the live stream on your daily phone, and get an alert the moment they stir. Ready in two minutes, no cloud snooping.
Works with the old phone already in your drawer. No extra hardware to buy.
Three easy steps
Two phones. One happy pet.
One old phone becomes the camera and stays home. Your everyday phone becomes the viewer and comes with you. Pair them once and you are done.
Old phone = the camera
Prop up a spare phone where your pet hangs out, plug in the charger, and let it film. It streams in crisp HD and stays put.
Your phone = the viewer
Install the app on the phone you carry every day. That is your window into home, wherever you are.
Pair with a QR code
Scan one code to link the two phones. The live stream connects directly, phone to phone, and you are watching in seconds.
Everything a pet parent wants
A real pet cam, without the price tag.
All the features you would expect from a dedicated camera, tuned for cats and dogs and running on the phone you already own.
Live HD video
Smooth, sharp 1080p streaming so you can actually see what your buddy is up to, day or night.
Meow, bark & motion alerts
Tuned to your pet. Get a nudge when your cat meows, your dog barks, or something moves in frame.
Works over the internet
At home on the same Wi-Fi or across town on mobile data, the two phones stay connected.
Recording & snapshots
Catch the zoomies. Save a clip or grab a snapshot of the moment straight to your phone.
Multi-viewer
Let the whole household tune in at once. More than one viewer can watch the same camera.
Two-way talk
Say hi and let them hear your voice. Talk to your pet right through the viewer phone.
Private by design
Your home stays your business.
The video streams directly between your two phones over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection. There is no cloud library of your living room, and your video is never stored on our servers.
- No cloud recordingClips and snapshots you save live on your own phone, not on a server somewhere.
- Encrypted peer-to-peerStreams use encrypted WebRTC directly between your devices. A relay only helps set up or carry the connection on tricky networks.
- No accounts, no ad trackingNo sign-up to watch your own pet, and we never sell your data or serve you ads.

Good questions
Frequently asked
Which old phones does it work with?
Most iPhones and Android phones from the last several years work great as the camera. As long as the phone has a working camera and can run the app, it can film your pet. The viewer runs on the phone you use every day.
Will it drain the camera phone's battery?
Live streaming uses a lot of power, so the camera phone should stay plugged into its charger while it films. Leave it on the charger and it can stream all day without dying.
Does it work without internet on the same Wi-Fi?
Yes. When both phones are on the same home Wi-Fi, they connect directly on the local network. When you leave home, the viewer connects over the internet using mobile data or another Wi-Fi network.
How is this different from a hardware pet camera?
Dedicated cameras cost money, add another gadget, and usually push your footage to their cloud. Home Pet Monitor reuses a phone you already own, streams directly between your devices, and keeps your video off the cloud.
Do I need an account to use it?
No account is needed to watch your own pet. You pair the two phones with a QR code and start streaming. Pro subscriptions are handled securely through the App Store.
Bring your pet along, everywhere.
