Performs as Advertised — just not good for Min Pins!,
The images & sound quality of the Eyenimal are better than I expected. My primary criticism of the unit is that the device does not “lock” securely in place on the animal’s collar, so if your pet is very animated (or simply tries to shake the device off its neck), the device comes loose.
Although I have 3 cats & 1 dog, I bought the camera for my 2 1/2-yr-old Miniature Pinscher…since my cats are all indoor-only animals, I didn’t feel the cat footage would be of interest to anyone. However, the typical Min Pin hackney gait is a problem for the camera — it results in every shot in which she’s walking or running being extremely “jumpy” and, thus, unwatchable.
If you have a calm dog, or one with a lumbering gait, then this is definitely worth the money!

Loved it till it stopped working,
Bought this Petcam from Amazon through […].
I loved it for about 3 weeks while it worked.
Then one day my Cat comes in and while it was working when he left…it wasn’t when he came home.
It didn’t seem damaged at all except foe some scratches on it from my cat rolling around.
He wore it about 6 times in 3 weeks.
I contacted[…] but they blew me off and said I should contact Eyenimal directly…which I did today.
I’ll see what happens.
$100 for 3 weeks is ridiculous.
Hopefully Eyenimal will rectify the situation

I like the Mr Petcam Video Camera better…,
I have owned the other very popular pet video camera, Mr Petcam for about a year now and wanted to see how the Eyenimal compared to it. So I decided to place an order. This was back in October of 2011. I received it quickly after ordering. It was packaged very nicely and the operating instructions were good. I’ve had the Eyenimal for almost seven months now and have been using it on my 3 year old male cat here and there. Overall it performs as advertised but is limited in features to the Mr Petcam video camera.
The video quality of the Eyenimal is okay but the audio is horrible. Lot’s of static and noise. Part of the fun of owning a pet collar video camera is hearing your pet bark, purr, pant etc. Very hard to do so with the Eyenimal. The audio actually quit working a week after I had the unit. So for a while I was just watching my cat wonder throughout the neighborhood and not hearing him. Then all of a sudden the audio returned one day? Don’t really know what happened there…but glad it corrected itself.
The Eyenimal is actually quite large and bulky in size. After owning it for a while now I would say it is better for dogs than cats overall. When I first attached it to my cat back in October, he would constantly drop the ground and roll around trying to get it off.
One of the MAJOR bonuses of the Mr Petcam camera is it has expandable memory! The Eyenimal has built in 4gb memory which you cannot increase if you want longer recording times. Mr Petcam allows up to 16gb of memory for over 3 hours of recording time. The other benefit of mr petcam is it has “sound activation mode.” When this mode is selected it only records video when it “hears” movement. This not only saves memory card space but also drastically reduces boring clips of your pet sleeping. With the Eyenimal you have to constantly fast forward through your pet’s naps which is annoying.
The Eyenimal and Mr Petcam are the only two collar video cams out at the moment. Overall I would say go for a Mr Petcam It is smaller in overall size than the Eyenimal, has expandable memory, features “sound activation mode” and is less than half the price of the Eyenimal.
