Adopting a new pet is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with a lot of new routines. From training a puppy to checking on a curious cat, the right pet camera can help you monitor, guide, and protect your new companion throughout the day.
Dedicated pet cameras can be helpful, but a home security camera can often do the job with more flexibility. With Arlo, you can check in from your phone, use 2-Way Audio, receive motion alerts, and keep watch over the places your pet uses most.
Pet cameras help you see what your dog or cat is doing when you are in another room, at work, or away from home. They can support training, help you spot changes in behavior, and give you a little peace of mind when your pet is adjusting to a new space.
With the right features, a smart pet camera can do more than show a live view. Look for Night Vision, a wide Field of View, reliable motion alerts, and 2-Way Audio so you can listen and talk to your pet. With an Arlo Secure plan, you can also unlock helpful features like pet detection, Smart Activity Zones, and cloud video history.
Pet owners have plenty of options, but the best camera for pets usually depends on where your pet spends the most time. Here are a few Arlo options that can double as dog cameras, cat cameras, and whole-home security tools.
An indoor pet camera is a great place to start. The Arlo Essential Indoor Security Camera (3rd Gen) gives you a clear view of your pet’s favorite room with HD or 2K video options, Night Vision, a 130-degree Field of View, and 2-Way Audio. You can check in when your dog hears a noise, your cat jumps on the counter, or your new pet needs a little reassurance.
It is also a strong fit for privacy-conscious homes. The Essential Indoor Camera includes an automated privacy shield, so you can get coverage when you want it and more privacy when you do not.
If your pet spends time in the yard, an outdoor camera can help you keep watch. The Arlo Essential Security Camera (3rd Gen) is battery-powered and designed for flexible placement around your home. It offers HD or 2K video options, 2-Way Audio, a 130-degree Field of View, and Night Vision to help you see when your pet is outside.
The integrated spotlight also helps bring more visibility to evening trips outside. Pair it with a compatible Arlo Solar Panel Charger for convenient continuous power in sunny locations.
For a premium pet monitor camera, the Arlo Ultra 3 offers 4K HDR video, an ultra-wide 180-degree Field of View, and premium 2-Way Audio. It is a smart choice for larger spaces, backyards, or anyone who wants sharper detail when checking in on a pet.
Ultra 3 works indoors or outdoors, so it can grow with your home security setup. Use it to catch the little things, from tail wags to backyard movement, while also protecting the rest of your property.
Some dogs love the front porch. The Arlo Video Doorbell helps you see more of what is happening at your door with a wide 180-degree Field of View, Night Vision, motion detection, and 2-Way Audio. It can help you greet visitors, check on porch activity, and see whether your pet is near the front entry.
A video doorbell is especially useful if pet sitters, dog walkers, friends, or family members stop by while you are out.
Late-night backyard trips are part of life with a new dog. A floodlight camera adds bright visibility and motion-triggered alerts when your pet needs to go outside after dark.
The Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera combines a powerful LED floodlight with a 2K HDR security camera, giving you light and video in one device. It is wire-free, rechargeable, and can be paired with a compatible solar panel for easier long-term power.
Arlo security cameras, video doorbells, and floodlights are not just great when used as pet cameras. They help you protect your home, your people, and your pets with one connected system. With Arlo Secure, you can add smarter alerts, pet detection, Smart Activity Zones, and cloud video history to help you keep an eye on your new family member from almost anywhere.
