We recently wrote about the features pet parents are loving most about their new Scout Smart Camera. We were particularly tickled by Sophia Reyes’ story about how this AI-powered pet camera caught her cat stealing food when her boyfriend left the room, and it got us wondering what other surprises Scout videos might have in store. So we asked and pet parents answered. Here are a few of our favorites so far.
A messy mystery solved
Wondering who’s doing what? Powered by AI, Scout gets to know up to 5 cats and dogs, recognizes them from any angle, and labels all their videos by name in the app. As pet parent Yosef Cohen reports, "We had two cats, and the water fountain lid kept getting knocked off. We never knew who was doing it until it was caught on camera by Scout."
Laundry thief caught on tape
As Taylor Robertson discovered, nothing gets past Scout’s auto pet tracking and 360° view. “One time, Scout caught my cat sneakily gnawing on a sock from the dirty laundry hamper and carrying it off to her nest—that was quite entertaining." Even better, the pet indoor camera detected, captured, and organized the moment in the Petlibro app, so Taylor could share the fun with friends instantly with just a few taps.
Growing up on camera
Scout’s designed to capture your pet’s most important moments, like playtime, selfies, meals, and more. According to pet parent responses, a lot of these moments are hilarious, but they can be heartwarming too. "When our dog first arrived, she was barely two months old and too small to reach the sofa,” recalls Eva Lange. “But then I saw her on the pet cam, successfully getting onto the sofa! The camera helped me capture a precious moment of her growing up that I would have otherwise missed while I was away."

And because this cat and dog camera alerts you when there’s a video you’ll want to see, Eva saw this adorable moment on her phone instantly. Every video is also summarized with a short description, so you know what your pets are up to at a glance. With Scout, the days of searching through hours of footage are over. Now you can skip straight to the good stuff, anytime, from anywhere.
