Rank #4 in Best Pet Camera 2026: 10 Ranked and Tested
LAXIHU 2K 3MP Pet Camera, No Monthly Fee, 256GB Card Support
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The LAXIHU is the cheapest camera in this ranking that promises no monthly fee, and the listing backs that up with storage rather than software: 256GB card support, alongside a 2K 3MP sensor, remote pan and tilt with a 360 degree view, 2-way audio, barking detection, motion sensing and night vision, with Alexa and Google Assistant support.
Barking detection is the pet-specific feature here, since it triggers on sound rather than movement and is the thing that tells you the dog is unhappy while you are out. The listed dimensions are 7.6 by 7.3 by 11.7 centimetres and it mounts to a ceiling. At the time of collection it carried 2,889 ratings at 4.4 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Absolutely love this camera, I went on holiday for 2 nights and had a relative rabbitsit my bunny. I was worried about him as it was his first time without me around and wanted to be able to check in on him while I was away.I bought it at an absolute bargain and it came the day before we went away so delivery was superb!I can use it on mobile data, and WiFi wherever I am and the quality all depends on your location, if you are in a bad signal area, expect minecraft pixels, if you are in a good area then the clarity is amazing!Set up was super easy, plug in, place near router and then move to the location you need it took no less that 5 minutes.It has notifications which you can turn off if you don't want constantly pinged, and it functions with a day/night feature, you can leave either on or set it to auto.It also has the ability to talk through the mi c, I have tested it but it just confuses my bun and he wonders where I am.If you do want to record anything you will need an SD card, but you can take snapshots if you have a view you like of your pet. :) (my favourite snapshots are when my bunny flops and is content). I won't be using it to record anything I literally just want to check on him from time to time.You can use a full screen mode and move the camera around with the app which is very useful, it also has motion detection.Very happy with this purchase! Thank you!”
Verified purchase“Amazing value for moneyEasy to set up. App on the phone is really simple. Excellent width of vision and really clear vision.The 360 rotation from my phone was amazing especially when l forgot to set it in the right direction before l went out.Used it to check on the dog post operation when I went to bed/ showered/ popped to the shops.Could see the dog even at night.Sound was clear and it was really useful to be able to verbally reassure the dog when she got a bit stressed in her crate.Great purchase don't be put off by the price it did everything l needed it to do.If l had one wish it was the lead between the plug and unit could be longer. But l love in a 250yr old house and plug sockets are limited.Will use as an indoor security camera when dog is fully recovered.”
