Knowing whether a pet is resting, playing in the yard, or getting into mischief when left alone worries many families. That’s why smart security cameras have stopped being used solely to protect the home and have also become a way to care for and gain peace of mind for those sharing their lives with their four-legged best friends.
From following their routines to talking to them to calm them down, solutions like the eufyCam C35 and the new eufyCam C37 help you stay close to your pets from anywhere. Through the eufy app, users can view from their phone what’s happening at home, receive notifications when motion is detected, and use two-way audio to listen and speak in real time. All of this without monthly fees and with local storage options that offer greater control over recordings and privacy.
Under its Built With Care philosophy, eufy, Anker Innovations’ home technology brand, shares five tips to make the most of these features and take care of pets even when no one is home.
Saber si una mascota está descansando, jugando en el jardín o haciendo alguna travesura cuando se queda sola preocupa a muchas familias. Por eso, las cámaras de seguridad inteligentes han dejado de utilizarse únicamente para proteger el hogar y
se han convertido también en una forma de cuidar y ganar tranquilidad para quienes conviven con mejores amigos de cuatro patas.
Place the camera in their favorite spots
To obtain truly useful footage, it’s advisable to install the camera in the spaces the pet frequents, and outdoors you can aim it toward the garden, the deck, the yard, or the entryway to monitor their movements. It’s also wise to position it at an appropriate height, with nothing blocking the view and out of reach of the animal to avoid bumps or accidental shifts.
Designed especially for outdoor use, the eufyCam C37 features a pan-tilt system with 360° horizontal and 90° vertical coverage, helping to minimize blind spots. From the app, the user can move the camera in real time to locate their pet or review a specific area. Its flexible solar-powered installation avoids construction work and complex wiring.
Enable motion alerts
Motion alerts keep you informed without the need to constantly check the app. When activity is detected, the user receives a notification and can access the camera to see what’s happening. The eufyCam C37 integrates artificial intelligence right on the device to distinguish between people, vehicles, and pets. This way, it can send more relevant alerts to your phone and reduce unnecessary notifications.
Use two-way audio to talk to your pet
Hearing a familiar voice can help calm some pets when they’re left alone. Thanks to two-way audio, eufy cameras let you listen to what’s happening at home and speak from your phone in real time. This feature can also be used to call the animal’s attention if it enters a restricted area.
When you connect the eufyCam C37 to the HomeBase Mini, you gain features such as facial recognition, which helps distinguish between known and unknown people, and cross-camera tracking to follow activity across different zones of the home.
The eufyCam C35 is also compatible with the HomeBase Mini and allows up to 1 TB of local storage without a monthly fee, facilitating the preservation of recordings and giving you greater control over privacy and home security.
