A:Answer There can be, yes, but it is not required to use the PetCube. When you begin using the product, you have a 7-day trial period for PetCube's 24/7 monitoring service, called PetCube Care. This service automatically records any video of movement (and sound if you choose to record both), so long as you have the PetCube on, and saves it for you to view or keep at any time. After the trial period ends, you have access to the last 4 hours of recorded time at absolutely no charge. You are able to purchase different monthly (or yearly) plans if you would like to save the recordings for days at a time (they currently offer 3-day video history at $4.99/month or $49/year, 10-day video history at $9.99/month or $99/year, and 30-day video history at $24.99/month or $249/year), but this is not required to continue using the PetCube, the app, or to view the camera feeds. Hope that helps!
