Eye spy

Ever wondered what your dog or cat does at home when you’re not there? Now you don’t have to wonder you can watch!

Spying on your pet when they’re home alone just became possible. Petcube is a palm-sized aluminium cube that has been fitted with a wide-angle camera, allowing you to check in on your furry friend when you’re out and about.

Pop the device on a shelf and then access the remote, wireless camera in real-time from your smart phone or iPhone.

If spying on your cat or dog from afar isn’t enough for you, Petcube’s app allows you to post pics of your pet taken from the live camera stream. While any Tom, Dick or Sheila can follow your Petcube social network, you can designate specified people as “friends” or “family” and allow them to access the camera, laser (designed for pet play) and speaker on specific days and at certain times.

Warning: Petcube might lead you to realise that your beloved dog or cat is actually far more boring than you ever dreamed. Costing $199 (USD), Petcube is a fairly pricey way to watch Simba sleep or hear Fido fart in real time! However that didn't stop the first batch of Petcubes selling out quick smart.
