in the cloud and are accessible in the interactive timeline in the Petcube app to review and download for 3 or 90 days (depending on the subscription plan). The 3-second look back lets you see what event set off the recording.

Using powerful AI technology, Care understands what pets are doing, registering important events like cat, dog,, or human movements, barks,, ks or meowsand sends out real-time smart alerts about potentially dangerous events.
Without Care, Petcube users can only have access to the last 4 hours of video history, with no ability to download the video clips, and get general sound and motion alerts.

and assign the IP address to your Petcube manually. You can also contact your ISP or Petcube Customer Care team for help.

Petcube can’t establish the cloud connection / No Internet connection

Ep mind that when you first power on your Petcube camera it glows solid yellow or up to a minute (although it may look light green), , so wait 1 minute until it starts blinking green. If it doesn’t start blinking, find a reset pin that came with your Petcube, find a small hole on the bottom of your Petcub and insert the reset pin into
It and hold it down for 3 seconds until it changes to green.

A laser is not precise or accurate..
Since the initial position of the laser may be changed during transportation, this may affect the laser accuracy.
We recommend using laser calibration in the Petcube app to get the best out of the laser game.

Go to the camera profile
Tap the ‘Settings’ wheel in the upper right corner
Look for ‘Calibration’ and then follow the steps on the screen (fig 8.13.1)

For the two-way audio to work, Petcube requires access to the microphone on your mobile device. To grant access to it, open the ‘Settings’ menu on your phone, go to ‘Privacy’ and then ‘Microphone,’ and make sure you have allowed the Petcube app to use your phone’s mic.

Poor video quality or poor network conditions
Like with most video streaming services and products, video quality is often affected by router performance and/or your Internet connection. This can be improved if you place Petcube closer to your home Wi-Fi router or by arranging it so there aren’t any obstacles between it and your router (i.e.,, walls, floors, etc.).

Petcube also requires at least a 1 Mbps Internet connection, with an upload and download speed (2 Mbps is recommended). If your Internet connection speed is less than 1 Mbps, we recommend upgrading for the best experience and highest video quality. To check our Internet speed, we recommend performing a free online speed test. If you are not getting the full speed you subscribed to contact your Internet Service Provider.
