What is DogCam?
DogCam is a specialized camera app designed specifically for dog owners. Its primary function is to play sound effects that capture your dog’s attention so you can easily take photos and record videos when your dog looks directly at the camera.
Key Features
In-Camera Sound Effects
DogCam offers a wide range of sound effects—including barks, high-pitched whistles, squeaky toy sounds, and more—to prompt your dog to look toward the camera. With over 100 sounds available (and even more in DogCam Premium), you can quickly switch sounds to capture that perfect moment.
Dog Scanning with Breed Prediction
Our new Dog Scanning feature uses advanced AI to analyze a photo of your dog and predict its breed from a selection of over 150 possibilities. You can browse and search through a detailed breed catalogue that provides information on each breed’s typical characteristics and traits.
Standalone Soundboard
The updated Soundboard lets you play any of the app’s sound effects even when you’re not in camera mode. You can search for sounds, preview them, and mark your favorites—making it a handy tool for training, playtime, or simply engaging with your dog.
Comprehensive Camera Controls
DogCam includes all the standard features you’d expect from a modern camera app:
- Photo and video capture modes
- Live Photos support
- Countdown timers
- Flash control, zoom, and focus adjustment
- Quick switching between front and rear cameras
Privacy and Security
All photos and videos are saved directly to your device, with no storage on our servers. Your media benefits from your device’s backup solutions (like iCloud), and no personal data is collected—only anonymous analytics are used to improve the app.
Accessibility
The app is fully accessible with comprehensive voice-over support. This ensures that users with visual impairments can navigate sound selections, camera controls, and other functions with ease.
