I originally purchased this to be able to keep an eye on my 9 year old boxer, Penny, who recently began having seizures. In the month that we've owned our Petcube, it has truly benefited all of our pets!
Setup of the camera and the app is simple and intuitive, and only took a few moments.
The Camera quality isn't HD or anything, but it's good. It is more than suitable to keep an eye on your pet.
The sound quality takes a little bit of time to master. You need to speak slowly and softly, at normal indoor levels. As long as you have a decent mic on your phone (we have Galaxy Note Edges), the Petcube speaker will do a fine job of relaying your voice. If you shout into your phone or speak too quickly, your voice becomes hard to understand from the Petcube. There is only a slight lag from phone to petcube, which is to be expected when connecting remotely.
The laser is fun for both humans and pets. We have tons of fun with this! The laser is easy to control with your finger, via the app. You simply move your finger over the video feed, and the laser moves with it. Again, there is a small delay, but it's to be expected.
While our intention in purchasing the Petcube was to keep an eye on our older dog, we quickly found that our younger pup, a 3 year old pit named Loki, has separation anxiety. We would have never known without the Petcube! He cries after we leave. The laser helped alleviate this, as did occasionally telling him "Hello", and that he is a good boy.
We also have a cat, Ella, who practically lives in our oldest daughter's room. When our daughter goes to visit family in Florida a few times a year, the cat is usually inconsolable, and cries incessantly for her missing roommate. Over Spring Break, we set up the Petcube in my daughter's room. She played with the cat a minimum of once a day (using the laser), and it was the first time ever that Ella wasn't upset while Emily was away.

This thing is amazing, and you will not regret purchasing it. I have been and will continue to recommend it to all of my pet-loving friends.
I would recommend this to a friend!
