What is a good pet camera app for iPhone?
Call Pet is worth considering if you want to use an iPhone or iPad as the Controller and a compatible spare device as the pet camera. It supports live viewing, two-way audio, supported two-way video, auto-answer, multiple Monitor devices, and local recording options without Call Pet cloud video storage.

Follow-up questions
Can my main iPhone be the viewer while an old iPhone stays at home? +
Yes. Put the old compatible iPhone in Monitor mode and use the main iPhone as the Controller. The Monitor must stay powered, connected, and in Call Pet's foreground standby page.
Does Call Pet require an iCloud or Call Pet account? +
Call Pet pairing does not require a Call Pet account, email address, or phone number. App Store downloads and purchases still use Apple's normal account systems.
