Pet Monitor VIGI

Pet Monitor VIGI uses a spare device as a pet camera and another as a viewer with sound and motion alerts.

Our take

Choose it when you already have suitable devices and want occasional remote pet check-ins.

Two-way communication and an activity log make more use of a spare computer or phone than a simple video call.

Keep in mind: Both devices need the app, power and working connectivity. Alerts are not guaranteed care, a veterinary diagnosis or a substitute for someone checking on your pet.

What you can do

  • Live two-way audio and video
  • Sound and motion alerts with activity photos
  • Remote recordings, snapshots and supported USB cameras on Mac

Good for

  • Pet owners able to leave a compatible device running at home.

Consider alternatives for

  • Homes needing a standalone camera that works through power or network outages.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 11.0.
  • Both devices need the app, power and working connectivity. Alerts are not guaranteed care, a veterinary diagnosis or a substitute for someone checking on your pet.

Privacy & permissions

Home video, audio and activity photos are private household data; obtain household consent, secure paired devices and review what you share or save.
