A wheeled interactive camera that you drive to your pet instead of waiting for them to wander into view. You steer it from your phone, watch live video and talk through two-way audio, and when the battery runs low it rolls back to its charging dock by itself, all from a camera that lives on the floor.
A fixed camera only sees the corner it was mounted in. Tumblewatch rolls on its own wheels, so you drive it from your phone to the couch, the kitchen, or the space under the furniture where your pet likes to hide, and it finds its own way back to the dock to recharge.

Two brushed motors turn the wheels, and you steer from an iOS or Android app over Wi-Fi. Rooms that a fixed camera never reaches come into view, wherever you are.
A 1080p camera captures video at 30 frames per second, and a starlight image sensor with night vision helps you check in on your pet after dark.
A built-in microphone and speaker let you hear the room and talk back, so your voice can reach a pet waiting by the door.
When the battery runs low, Tumblewatch uses infrared to locate its charging dock and drives itself back, ready for your next check-in.
Before putting a camera on wheels in your home, it’s fair to ask whether it will find its way back to charge, whether it works on your Wi-Fi, how you reach it from your phone, and whether you can talk through it. Here’s how each one is handled.
Keep the area around the dock clear of mirrors and other reflective objects, because they can interfere with the infrared signal it uses to find the dock.
