Separation anxiety is real and most owners can't see it
Hours of howling, scratching at the door, eating furniture — by the time you get home, the evidence is everywhere but the moment is gone.
Hardware dog cams are pricey and need a subscription
Dedicated dog cameras require separate hardware, and recording or cloud features may depend on the current product and plan.
Two-way audio matters when you want to respond
Live video lets you see what is happening; two-way audio also lets you speak through the Monitor device.
Why Call Pet works for dog camera app
01
Two-way audio
Hear barking, whining or scratching the moment it happens. Press to talk and your voice plays through the spare phone speaker.
02
Free basic monitoring — no dedicated camera required
Spare phone + Call Pet = a private dog cam with no new hardware purchase. Pro features are optional.
03
Direct, encrypted media between paired devices
Media connects directly over WebRTC P2P with no TURN or media relay. WebRTC DTLS/SRTP protects audio and video; X25519 + AES-256-GCM protects control and signaling. Call Pet servers do not receive the media.
04
Auto-answer for remote check-ins
The Monitor phone picks up automatically. Your dog doesn't have to do anything.
05
No Call Pet account, email, or phone number
Pair with a QR code. Done.
Set up in 5 steps
About 30 seconds. No account needed at any step.

Frequently asked
My dog barks at speaker sounds. Will my voice scare them? +
Start at low volume. Many dogs eventually recognize their owner's voice and find it comforting. If your dog stays scared, leave the audio for emergencies only and use the camera as a viewer.
Can I record what my dog does while I'm away? +
Call Pet does not provide cloud recording or cloud playback. Pro users can start a recording manually on the Controller; the file stays on that Controller device and is not stored by Call Pet servers.
Will the spare phone overheat if it runs all day? +
Long camera and network use can warm a phone. Keep Call Pet in the foreground standby page, lower display brightness if needed, avoid direct sunlight, and stop using it if the device shows a temperature warning.
Does it work for puppies in a crate? +
Yes — point the spare phone at the crate from a tripod or shelf 1–2 meters away.
