About SeeBoop
SeeBoop converts spare phones, tablets or computers into pet cameras without requiring new hardware. A Station device is placed near the pet while a Viewer device displays the live feed from anywhere. The app pairs the two devices via QR code, establishing a direct P2P encrypted connection that avoids cloud storage of video. On-device sound AI distinguishes between barks, meows and crashes, sending specific alerts rather than generic motion notifications. The system includes features like remote lens flipping, night mode, battery telemetry and weekly calm insights derived from logged events. It supports multiple rooms through a Fleet View grid and prioritizes reliability with auto-reconnect and status indicators to prevent silent failures.
