Product One: Leegoal Waterproof Dog Collar Type
#Price
In an expensive world, the cost of any product may be incredibly important! We started this review with our least costly option first for our most budget-conscious readers. As far as affordability is concerned, the Leegoal collar comes out on top with a listing price of around $25+. This is the most budget-friendly camera of our review and is sure to make your wallet happy!
#Size
Big dog or small dog… size matters. While no weight is officially listed on the Leegoal product page, it is mentioned in the reviews as being very lightweight. The dimensions listed are 6x5x3cm. We recommend doing some quick measurements to make sure this would be a good fit for your pet!
#Batterypower
While no estimated run time is listed for this product, the battery is rechargeable so we know you won’t be scrambling for new ones anytime soon.
#StorageSpace
Sick of getting stuck with your storage full? This camera includes its own TF memory card with a whopping 32G of storage space. This is a great option for those who don’t want to constantly upload or delete existing footage.
#Footage
#Specialfeatures
While this is the most budget-friendly option, it is also one of the more basic models on the list. It is not specified as being wifi accessible. Therefore, you might not be able to link the video to up to your phone while you’re at work That being said, Leegoal mentions that this camera is great for humid climates but is not intended for an underwater experience. Meaning this product would be great in the Florida air, but not the right choice if you’re looking to capture your furry friend leaping into the water.

Product Two: Hosecurity Digital Pet Collar Cam
#Price
Our second most affordable product of the review! Priced between $35- 55 (depending on whether on if you would like a TF card included and your TF memory size preference). This could be a great bargain if you already have a TF card and are looking to replace an old camera or if you would like options for the size of your memory.
#Size
According to Hosecurity, the dimensions of this product are 5.3×5.7×3.3cm with a weight of 35 grams. (Remember to double-check those measurements against the size of your pet to make sure this product is a good fit. Comfortability will ensure the most natural and unhindered footage!)
#Batterypower
This camera comes with a powerful 3.7 V High capacity Polymer Lithium battery! The product is listed as having a run life of 1.5 hours. Making this a nice option if you don’t plan on recording for too long of a time and are okay with changing out the batteries.
#Storagespace
Where this product really stands out is in the flexibility of storage options it provides! Already have a TF card that you already use and love? No problem! Go for the $35+ model and save some cash! Only feel like you need a moderate amount of storage? No worries! This product has purchase options for TF cards with space from 8G to 16G! Need a lot of storage?

Product Three:Eyenimal Cat Video Cam by DOGTEK
#Price
At just under one hundred dollars, you can get you and your pet a great little camera! This product falls in the mid-range of cost-effectiveness for this review. That being said, with the price increase you will be getting some pretty great features!
#Size
As listed, this product was created with the delicacy of cats in mind. That being said, the small size of this compact product will also serve small dogs as well! At a tiny 1.8x.08×1.8 inches and a measly .32 ounces, this product ranks in as one of our smaller product options! This can be great for tiny dogs and could be a wonderful asset if you want to make sure your pet isn’t stopped by a bulky camera.
#Batterypower
#Storagespace
Good news! This product comes with its very own built-in memory! Not so great news? The storage space on this product is only 4GB. That being said, this is still a great purchase option if you don’t mind changing uploading the memory more often than some of our other reviewed product options.
#Footage
This camera has a much better resolution than our previous product options. With a 736×480 video resolution plus audio recording ability, this camera is a great more budget-friendly option for anyone looking to capitalize on their recordings and pursue their pet’s destiny of stardom.
#Specialfeatures
For the still very affordable price and small compact size, this product comes packed with some really great features. Night Vision! That’s right! It’s as cool as it sounds! Check out what your pet’s been up to while you were asleep with this camera’s cool night vision feature up to seven feet! This product also offers two recording modes (one being triggered by motion sense detection so you only get active footage).

Product Four: GoPro Hero 7
#Price
#Size
The dimensions of this powerful camera are listed as being 1.75×2.44×1.26 inches with a weight of 4.13 ounces. While the camera itself is designed to be compact, you will need some additional help to make this pet accessible. In order to attach this to your pet, GoPro created the Fetch Dog Harness Mount. This may be a good option if you feel that your dog would instantly knock off anything on its collar. However, it does add some bulk to your pet’s exploration. The harness itself is listed as being adjustable for dogs weighing between 15 to 120 pounds and includes built-in padding for your pet’s comfort. The dimensions of the harness itself are 3.5x 7.1×8.2 inches and weighs 10.2 ounces. This means that harness, camera and all, your dog will be carrying around 14.33 ounces while filming their adventures. Being that the harness itself does not accommodate pets weighing less than 15 pounds, this would not be a good option for very small dogs.
#Batterypower
The Go Pro Hero 7 includes a rechargeable Lithium Polymer Battery. While no guaranteed run time is listed, the Go Pro brand is known for quality and reliability for long adventures. With this product, we wouldn’t plan on needing to constantly recharge or change batteries.
#Storagespace
#Footage
This product really excels in the quality of footage it can capture. With tons of filming options such as live streaming, hyper-smooth stabilization, and even a time warp video function. The Hero 7 offers an impressive 4K60 video quality and the capability of producing stunning 12MP photos. If you’re looking for quality results this product is an amazing choice for all your filming needs.
#Specialfeatures
On top of the amazing camera quality, footage options, and known brand reliability, this camera offers the most #specialfeatures of any other product we reviewed. The GoPro brand is known for being sturdy, and this camera is no different. The listing insists that this product is both “rugged” and “waterproof”. It claims to be submersible up to 33 feet and is up for any adventure that your dog may take it on. This product is perfect for anyone who wants a camera with all the features or who regularly takes trips to rugged terrain. Plus because this product is not already attached to a leash, you would be able to use the Hero 7 on adventures without your furry friend.
