WHERE TO PLACE YOUR PET CUBE BITES

  • Consider placing Petcube Bites in a location that allows for maximum coverage through the camera’s 138° wide angle lens. It’s always a good idea to point the Petcube Bites in the direction where your pets tend to spend most of their time.
  • If you want to place Petcube Bites on a table or shelf, we recommend you set it up at least 3 feet above the floor. Petcube Bites has a non-slip rubber bottom, which provides a secure grip on flat surfaces. The camera should be placed closer to the edge of the surface for better viewing angle.
  • If you decide to mount Petcube Bites securely on the wall, select your preferred viewing height. Then, use the included mounting guide to mark where to drill holes and two drywall anchor screws to affix the device.

Petcube Care extends security benefits to pet owners, as we have tailored the service to their needs.

    • 10-Day Video History: $100/annual plan (save $20 with annual plan)
    • 30-Day Video History : $30/month
    • 30-Day Video History: $300/annual plan (save $60 with annual plan)
  3. How does Petcube Care work?
    Whenever motion or sound is detected by the Petcube Bites, Petcube Care will automatically start recording a video, which will be available for playback later from the Petcube App. Camera owners will also get a push notification once the recording stops. User interactions will be recorded too and will have an orange ‘play’ icon (triangle)
  4. How to activate Petcube Care
    To start using Petcube Care, you need to have a Petcube Camera and a Petcube Care subscription. New Petcube camera owners receive a free 30 day trial with 10 days of video history.
    To subscribe, go to https://petcube.com/, sign in with your Petcube account or go to the Petcube Care product page and select the most suitable subscription option for you. You will also be able to subscribe from the ‘Home’ page in the Petcube App on both iOS and Android devices.
    If you are not a Petcube Camera owner yet but wish to buy one, you will also be able to subscribe for Petcube Care when you make your purchase.
  5. Petcube Care modes explained
    There are three modes in Petcube Care: Awake, Quiet, and Sleep.

     

    • Use Awake mode when you are not around and want Petcube Care to be active. You will get noise & motion notifications. These moments will be stored on your timeline.
    • Use Quiet mode when you do not want to be disturbed. Moments will be stored on your timeline if triggered by motion or sound, but you will not receive notifications.
    • Sleep mode disables Petcube Care. It will not detect and record events. Nothing will be added to your timeline.
      Keep in mind that your Petcube Bites needs to be online to record the videos.
  6. How to view video history in Petcube Care
    It’s very easy to access your video history with Petcube Care! Launch the Petcube App on your phone. Today’s videos will populate automatically on your home screen. You can scroll down to get earlier videos.
    Tap on the date to move back or forward in time.
  7. How to save a video recording to your phone’s internal storage

Just pick the necessary video clip, press the three dots ’…’ located on the left-hand side of the video, and select ’Save’.
  8. How can I use Petcube Care on multiple Petcube devices?
    Separate Petcube Care subscriptions are required for each Petcube camera. With multiple cameras, you can purchase additional subscriptions at a 50% discount to receive 24/7 cloud video recording coverage. Without a subscription, each Petcube camera includes a limited free 4-hour video history snapshot.
    To purchase additional subscriptions, go to https://petcube.com/, sign in with your Petcube account or go to the Petcube Care product page and select the most suitable subscription option for you. You will also be able to upgrade your subscription for each additional camera from the Petcube App by going to the ‘Home’ screen of the camera.

  10. Sound in Petcube Care
    At the moment, sound recording is only available on recordings that were triggered by motion or sound detection and is unavailable on camera play sessions.
  11. Petcube Care history sharing
    Currently, no one except the camera owner can access video history, but we are thinking of making a separate sharing option exclusively for Petcube Care video history available in the future.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  1. LED doesn’t light up
    If the LED light on your Petcube Bites camera is off while the camera is plugged in, try unplugging it and plugging it back in. Make sure that you are using the enclosed adapter with your Petcube and that the power cord is undamaged.
  2. LED light doesn’t turn pulsing green
    When you plug in your Petcube before starting the registration process, it should glow solid yellow for a minute (although it may look light green). Wait up to 1 minute until it starts pulsing green. If the light remains solid yellow, contact our support team.
  3. The LED is pulsing yellow and doesn’t turn white after setup
    This problem can occur if you have entered an incorrect password for your home Wi-Fi network during registration. To change it, open the ‘Settings’ menu in the Petcube App, scroll down to ‘Wi-Fi,’ and follow the instructions to setup the connection again. Use a pin to press and hold the button on the bottom of our device until the light turns green.
    If the LED still doesn’t turn white, contact our technical support team in order to determine if your Petcube Camera needs to be updated.
  4. I don’t see my home Wi-Fi network
    This problem can occur if you are trying to connect your Petcube to either a 5GHz frequency range network or a hidden network.
    Unfortunately, Petcube doesn’t work with 5GHz networks, but since most routers support both 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequencies, you should be able to change it to 2.4GHz mode.
    If you have a hidden network, on the last registration step you will be prompted to enter your network SSID and password manually.
  5. Treat got stuck in the camera
    If a treat gets jammed in the container, you’ll get a notification via the Petcube App. You can dislodge the treat by removing it or shaking the container to empty it. If a treat gets stuck in the flinging mechanism, use the door on the bottom of the device to remove it.
    Do not unjam the device with sharp instruments or apply too much pressure, both of which can damage the device.
  6. MAC address filtering
    If your router uses MAC filtering, you need to temporarily disable it to find the MAC address of your own Petcube. This can be viewed in the list of connected devices in your router settings. Once you have its MAC address, you can safely add your Petcube as an exception and turn filtering back on.
    You can also contact our support team to get help finding the MAC address of your Petcube.
  7. No Wi-Fi network shows up during setup
    If you have an empty list of available Wi-Fi networks in the Petcube App when you need to select your home Wi-Fi net, contact us at [email protected] to determine if your Petcube needs to be updated.
  8. Petcube is linked to another account
    Your Petcube Bites can only be registered to one user account at a time. You cannot register it to multiple accounts, but you can share access to it with other users using various ‘Sharing’ options.
    If you need to register your Petcube Bites to a different account, delete the camera from the account it is currently registered to, open ‘Settings’ in the Petcube App and tap ‘Disconnect camera.’
  9. I can’t connect to my Petcube Bites
    If you cannot connect to your Petcube Camera from your smartphone, try the following:

     

    • Make sure that the LED light on the front of your Petcube is steady white.
    • If the LED light on the front of your Petcube isn’t steady white, see ‘LED light notifications’ to determine the issue.
    • If your network is secured with a firewall or proxy, please make sure it isn’t blocking the Petcube.
    • Unplug and plug your Petcube back in to reboot it.
    • Contact our support team if none of the above helps.
  10. No sound comes out of my Petcube
    Please open the ‘Settings menu on your phone, then go to ‘Privacy’ and then ‘Microphone,’ and make sure you have allowed the Petcube App to use your phone’s mic.
  11. Petcube goes offline / turns off
    This issue may appear if you’re using a less powerful A/C adapter. Please make sure to use only 5V / 2A power adapters.
    If you’re using the original adapter, but the problem persists, contact our support team to determine the problem.

FAQS

Does this have a bark detector to let me know when my dog bark?

There is a sound/motion detection feature that reacts to loud sounds and substantial motion. So, if your dog is barking not far away, it will detect it.

My dog chewed the anti-chewable cable… how do I get a new one?

Throw a fit and ask the company for a new one. This product isn’t as resilient as it says it is. I convinced many people to buy one after my first week of having it; now, I would never recommend it because it doesn’t do what it promised.

Does this work with Apple Watch, for the motion / barking notifications (not the video feed, just the notifications)?

It works with iPhones, iPods and iPods – I’m not sure if those can be set up to sync and send notifications to your Apple Watch, but perhaps [email protected] can help you.

Do you have to pay for an app to use this if you don’t have Alexa?

The app is free for android and iphone from the app store or Google play

Do you have to be on wifi network or be in a certain range for the audio to work? If I am not in the house, the audio sounds like screeching.

We got audio to work easily on WiFi. Someone logged in (100 miles away) and I had a conversation with them. 

Is there a way to have this device modified to dispense medications for my elderly parents?

Depending on the size of the pill. These would have to be only one kind of pill and it can be flung anywhere in the room and your patient would have to crawl around looking for it. Plus any animal or child could have access to it. Then you would have no idea whether they took the pill or not. It would be an inhumane and inexact way to dispense medication. I hope this is a joke. If I hired you for a caregiver that would not be acceptable to me. I think there might be some other time-sensitive medication dispensers on the market. 

Can the camera be controlled remotely or is it fixed?

The positioning of the camera is fixed.

Does this work if you’re crate-training your dog?

Not sure.. the treats might not reach or go too far for the dog to get them..

Does it take photos?

Yes, you can take photos with it from the app.
