What is Petcube?
Petcube is a pet technology company whose products combine hardware with an app and a subscription service. Its interactive cameras let owners watch and talk to a pet from elsewhere, and some models toss treats or support remote play; the range also includes a GPS tracker with activity monitoring and escape alerts, and a water fountain with UV-C purification and four-layer filtering. The AI element sits mainly in Petcube Care, the subscription attached to the cameras. Care sends notifications triggered by sound or motion and labelled as pet activity, sound or person, stores up to 90 days of video in the cloud, and builds a 30-second daily recap from the moments with the most activity. Other options include smart filters, geofence and schedule-based activation, video downloads and a web interface. An Online Vet service offers round-the-clock chat with veterinarians.
