PET MONITOR · NO HARDWARE TO BUY
Point any spare phone, tablet, or computer at your pet and watch live from anywhere — with on-device AI that knows a bark from a meow from a vase hitting the floor. Live watching is free. Actually free.
iPhone & Android — the SeeBoop app
HOW IT WORKS
One device is the Station — the camera near your pet. The other is the Viewer — you, anywhere. Any mix of phone, tablet, or computer works.
Open SeeBoop on a spare phone, tablet, or computer and tap "Station." Flip the lens to whichever side fits the shelf, and the screen auto-dims to save the battery while the camera keeps rolling.
Open SeeBoop on your own phone, scan the pairing code once, and the two devices are linked. No port forwarding, no router settings, no account for grandma to create: one viewer can watch at a time on the free plan, five at once on Premium.
Live video and audio stream directly between your devices, encrypted end to end. Talk back through the Station's speaker, flip on your camera so your pet actually sees you, or play calming sounds — rainforest, ocean, white noise — right through the Station. A push lands the moment anything needs you.
ON-DEVICE SOUND AI
Every other monitor listens for "noise" — or, at best, barks. SeeBoop's classifier runs on the Station itself and tells barks, meows, and crashes apart, so the push you get says what actually happened.
When the model isn't sure, it says so. No fake confidence.
RELIABILITY
The worst pet cam failure isn't a dropped frame. It's a frozen image that looks live while your dog has been alone for six hours. SeeBoop treats honest status as the product.
AUTO-RECONNECT
Wi-Fi drops, cellular handoffs, router reboots — the connection retries with backoff and a media watchdog that notices frozen streams, not just dead sockets.
NEVER FAILS SILENTLY
Live, reconnecting, or offline — the screen says which, always. If the Station goes dark while you're away, you get a push. A stale frame never pretends to be live.
BATTERY TELEMETRY
The Viewer shows the Station's battery at all times, and you get a push at 20% if it's not charging — before the camera dies, not after. Free, like every reliability feature.
BUILT FOR 2 A.M.
Dog, cat, parrot, or the fish tank — prime time here is lights-off, half-asleep, one eye open. Every surface is built for it.
Phone, web, and desktop follow your system theme — or set it manually. No white flashbang at midnight.
Night Enhance lifts details from a dark room without claiming to be infrared. Toggle the Station's flashlight from your phone too — honest help, not fake night vision.
After a minute idle, the Station screen dims to near-black while the camera keeps streaming — easier on the battery, less interesting to the cat.
Switch the Station between front and back lenses from the Viewer — no walking over to the shelf to re-prop the phone.
FLEET VIEW
Most households have more than one old phone. Fleet View turns them into a live grid — living room, bedroom, backyard all visible at once. No other app-based monitor does this.
MULTI-ROOM GRID
Scroll through every Station in a single view, tap any room to go full-screen — up to three rooms on Premium, more on a Business plan.
AI EVENTS PER ROOM
Bark from the kitchen, meow from the bedroom — Fleet View labels each alert with the Station that caught it, so you know where to look before you even tap through.
PREMIUM FEATURE
Free covers one Station. Premium unlocks up to three — and Fleet View puts them all in one grid, the same upgrade that adds recordings, Insights, and unlimited talkback.
PRIVACY
Not "encrypted at rest on our cloud." Not "we value your privacy." The live stream goes device-to-device, encrypted end to end — even when a strict network forces a relay, we're passing ciphertext we can't read.

SEEBOOP FOR PROS
SeeBoop for Pros is the same product you just read about, plus a commercial license and client sharing built in: pair a Station, send your client a watch link, and they're watching live before you've clipped the leash.
Hand every client a live window while their pet is in your care, not a photo three hours later.
$29/month or $290/year, billed by Stripe, cancel anytime. Commercial license included.
Point old phones at every run and you're live before lunch: no IP cameras, no truck roll, no IT. Built for facilities running 10 to 25 runs and a handful of staff.
Fleet, staff roles, branded owner links, lobby display, and the audit log are live today. Seats and pricing are set up with you directly while we onboard our first facilities.
Free and Premium are licensed for personal, household use. Monitoring animals you don't own, or charging for monitoring, needs a Business license — that's the whole boundary.
