PawsCam is basically a wearable GoPro for your pet that wirelessly uploads video to the cloud

By
PawsCam is a wireless camera that allows you to see what your dog is doing no matter where you are. Setup and registration is a simple process, and after you’re done you attach PawsCam to your dog’s collar. Motion and light sensors in the camera will detect when your dog is doing something interesting, record a short six second video clip, and upload it wirelessly to a free cloud service that you can view from any connected device.

PawsCam is small and light enough that most dogs won’t mind wearing it, but it might be a little uncomfortable or awkward for a dog that’s the size of a cat. The camera is water and dust resistant, and battery life lasts between 4 to 5 days on a single charge. The camera is only 480p, and can be a little shaky on a moving dog. But seeing what your dog is up to during the day is a nice escape when you’re at work. The whole experience helps you feel more connected to your dog.
