FloofCam Guide
Use an iPad as a pet monitor (free, no app)
You can use an iPad as a live pet monitor in minutes, without installing an app. FloofCam runs in your browser, needs no download, and makes it easy to keep one iPad pointed at your pet while you watch from a second device.
If you want a free pet monitor with no app to install, you can start right away on FloofCam.
How it works
FloofCam uses two devices. One becomes the camera, and the other is used to watch live. This works well when you use an iPad as a pet monitor because the larger screen is easy to position and keep near your pet.
Step-by-step setup
- Open FloofCam on your iPad.
- Allow camera access.
- Keep the browser open.
- Open FloofCam on your second device.
- Open “Your Cameras”.
- Start watching live.
Common issues
- If the camera is not showing, make sure camera permissions were allowed on the iPad.
- If the page was closed or the screen locked, reopen FloofCam and keep Safari or your browser active.
- If you cannot see your camera on the second device, make sure you are logged in to the same account.
Why use a browser-based pet monitor
A browser-based setup is simpler than installing another camera app. There are no app installs, it works on iPads, phones, laptops, and tablets, and it gives you a free pet monitor with no app when you use devices you already own.
If you want to repurpose a smaller device, you can also turn an old phone into a pet camera or use an old laptop as a pet monitor.
