REVIEW: The Uniden Camera That Let Us Leave Echo Alone (Without Panic Stations)

For those who missed the memo, we’ve recently welcomed a new fur baby to our family — meet Echo, our adorable, four-legged whirlwind of joy, chaos, and puppy breath. Like any first-time paw-rents, we were hit hard with the “but what if they miss us?” guilt the second we stepped out of the house for more than five minutes.

• Cue the panic.
• Cue the separation anxiety.
• Cue the overthinking: Should I cancel my plans and just sit on the floor with her forever?

Thankfully, we found something that changed the game — and saved our sanity: the Uniden APP Cam X25PT. And trust us, this isn’t just another indoor security camera — it’s the tech equivalent of a supernanny for your pet.

First things first: yes, this was gifted to us for review. And yes, it’s a product we would actually recommend to every fur-parent who wants peace of mind without stalking their dog like a stage-five clinger.

Let’s break it down:

What We Loved (AKA “Why We Now Leave the House Without Guilt”):

• Pan & Tilt Wizardry: With a 355° pan and 50° tilt, this camera doesn’t just sit in one spot. You can actually move it from your phone — which means you can follow your mischievous furball from the couch to the food bowl to the laundry and back.
• Super HD Vision (Even Zoomed In On Puppy Paws): The 2K resolution makes it easy to see if Echo’s just sleeping… or sneakily chewing on a slipper again.
• Remote Control & App Use: You can log in from anywhere in the world via the My Uniden Plus app and shift the angle around like a boss. I’ve checked in from the grocery store, the school pick-up line, and embarrassingly — the bathroom.
• Two-Way Talk: This one is genius. I said “Hi Echo!” and her head tilt nearly broke me. Perfect for those “just letting her hear your voice” moments.
• Smart Features: Pre-motion recording (you get the four seconds before movement), voice command integration with Google Assistant/Alexa, privacy masking (yes, you can black out areas — no more spying on yourself in your dressing gown), and storage options including Cloud or SD card.
• It’s Under $70. For real. At $69.95 RRP, this does more than cameras double its price.
• Bonus points – you can also use this as a baby cam too.

Let’s Talk Real-Life Use Case:
We left the house. Echo watched us go. We watched her watch us go. She blinked once, circled twice, and promptly went to sleep. The end. (Well, not quite — we still checked the app 15 times just in case.)
