SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Petcube today released smart pet recognition features as an update to Petcube camera users with eligible subscription plans to Petcube Care (https://petcube.com/care/). The new update gives pet parents real-time alerts about potentially dangerous events, with audio recognition of barking and meowing, and the ability to tell the difference between pets and people.

Petcube pet cameras can now tell you when something's happening that actually matters. In addition to sound and motion notifications, smart alerts add detection for four new types of things: barking, meowing, pets and people. With this new feature, you'll know instantly when your pet is making noise or when there's someone at home, whether it's a family member or your dog walker. Smart alerts give you peace of mind like never before.

The events trigger automatic video cloud recording so users can go back later and see what happened. The pet recognition features are powered by artificial intelligence technology that will continue to get smarter over time.

"Petcube has already helped hundreds of thousands of pet parents to save their pets from emergencies at home, understand and correct bad behaviors, and get peace of mind that their pets and homes are safe," said Yaroslav Azhnyuk, CEO and co-founder of Petcube. "The smart alerts and pet recognition features provide even better intelligence. This is really timely for pet parents since pets can be particularly stressed during the busy holiday travel season because of changes to their daily routines."

Petcube Care, an optional subscription service for owners of Petcube's best-selling pet cameras, includes multi-day 24/7 video cloud recording, longer video clips, an extended 2-year warranty, and exclusive savings on top brand pet supplies, products and services. Subscribers can save hundreds of dollars a year on pet care with savings from leading pet brands, including Trupanion, Mars Petcare, Wellness, Ollie, Rover.com, Audible for Dogs, DOGTV, and Luuup. Plans start at $4.99 per month.

Petcube Bites is now available for $229 and Petcube Play for $179. New purchasers of Petcube Bites and Petcube Play receive a 7-day free trial to Petcube Care, with the smart alerts & pet recognition features.
