Optional Pet Beta alertsTalk to themKeep the funny bits

They watch you leave.
Now you can watch them settle. Beta

You know the look. Ears down at the door, following you into the hallway, flopping onto the rug with a sigh like you've gone forever. Ten minutes later they're usually asleep in a patch of sun, and you've spent all morning not knowing that.

One monitor, whatever matters

It was never only for babies

One spare phone or tablet, and it watches whoever needs watching. Set it up once, and point it at whatever this month is about.

Why it helps

Most of it happens in the first twenty minutes

Separation anxiety shows up early. The barking, the pacing, the sad noises at the door tend to happen soon after you go, and then either settle or don't.

The live view and two way talk are ready immediately. If you choose to enable Pet Beta alerts, nuvio can also listen while you're not looking and write activity into the timeline; those alerts start off to avoid an untested notification becoming noise.

Mostly what people get back is relief. They slept the whole time. You can stop feeling guilty on the train.

What it does

Made for animals, not borrowed from a doorbell

Barking and whining alerts · Beta

Optional and off by default while the Pet pack is in Beta. Enable each alert only if it is useful in your room.

Your voice, when you want

Two way talk. Sometimes ten seconds of you is the whole fix.

The day, written down

When they settled, when they got up, when the barking started. Handy for training, and for the vet.

The funny bits, kept

Zoomies, the cat on the bookshelf, the impossible sleeping position. Saved to your own devices.

More than one room

The sofa they're not allowed on, and the back door. No fee per camera.

Low light

Curtains shut on a winter afternoon and you can still see what's going on.

Setup

One spare device, one shelf

1. Point it at their spot

The bed, the crate, the sunny bit of carpet they actually use. Plugged in, cable away from teeth.

2. Scan the code

Your phone scans a code on the old one. They meet on your WiFi.

3. Go to work

Look in whenever you want, across WiFi or mobile data. Turn on individual Beta alerts only if you want them.

Cats, and other honest notes

What to expect

Cats are quieter and move about more, so sound alerts matter less and the timeline and saved moments matter more. It's very good at catching a cat doing something daft. It's less good at telling you where the cat has gone.

Puppies and kittens chew cables. Run the charger behind furniture, or put it on a shelf they haven't worked out yet.

And none of this replaces a walk, a sitter, or a vet. It tells you what happened while you were out. What to do about it is still yours.

Privacy

Your video never leaves your home

Not uploaded to a cloud. Not kept on our servers. Not shared with or sold to anyone.

The listening and the watching happen on the device itself. Nothing is sent away to be worked out somewhere else, because it gets worked out where it is.

When you open the live view, the picture goes straight from that device to your screen, encrypted end to end, and isn't recorded on the way. If the two can't reach each other directly it goes through a relay, and the relay can't read any of it either.

There are no adverts in nuvio, and no data brokers. If you turn on Help improve detection, it shares model scores, event outcomes and device performance with us. Never audio, video or images.

Every device that can see your camera is listed on the monitor, and you can remove any of them in one tap.

Questions, answered straight

FAQ

Can it tell my dog's bark from the telly?

Pet alerts are still in Beta and start off. If you enable them, treat each alert as a prompt to look rather than a certainty, and switch off any rule that does not suit your room.

Can I talk to my dog from work?

Yes, with Anywhere. Use the app or a browser. Start with a short hello to see how your dog responds.

Does it work for cats?

Yes, just differently. You'll get more out of the timeline, the live view and the saved moments than out of sound alerts, because cats complain more quietly.

Do I need to buy a pet camera?

No. The spare phone or tablet is the camera. That's the whole idea, and it usually takes a better picture than a pet camera anyway.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. Your video is never uploaded to a cloud, never kept on our servers, and never shared with anyone else. It goes straight from the device to your screen, encrypted.

What does it cost?

Anywhere is free for the first 7 days. No payment method. No automatic renewal. Then Home is $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year. Anywhere is $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year. There is no fee per camera.

Go and dig it out of the drawer

It is probably in the second drawer down. Four minutes from now it can be doing something that matters.
