Which one should you buy?

For most people the Tapo C210 is the place to start: it records sharp 2K 3MP footage to a local microSD card with no monthly fee, pans and tilts to follow movement, and has by far the deepest review base in this guide. Step up to the Tapo C212 if you want a full 360 degree sweep, the Reolink E1-2K for a 4MP picture with motion tracking, or the Ring Indoor 2nd Gen if you already live in the Ring and Alexa world. The Laxihub is the one sold as a dog camera, though its offer comes from Amazon Germany through the Global Store. The Furbo 360 is the only purpose-built dog camera here, with treat tossing and barking alerts, and it requires a paid Furbo Nanny plan to set up.

For full context on why we ranked these the way we did, what alternatives we considered (and rejected), and the broader buying-guide framework, read the full Best Pet Camera Australia 2026: Tapo, Ring, Reolink and Furbo.
