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 — share access with up to two viewers free.
Live video and audio stream directly between your devices, encrypted end to end. Talk back through the Station's speaker, and get a push the moment something 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.
Toggle the Station's flashlight from wherever you are. Honest low-light help — we won't pretend it's 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.
PRIVACY
Not "encrypted at rest on our cloud." Not "we value your privacy." The stream goes device-to-device; our server physically never has it.

SEEBOOP BUSINESS
Facility webcam systems mean buying IP cameras, scheduling an install, and calling IT. SeeBoop Business is the same product you just read about, scaled up: point old phones at every run and you're live before lunch.
Give every run a camera and every anxious owner a window — without a single truck roll.
You're selling peace of mind. Hand every client a live window, not a photo three hours later.
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.
