This affordable pet camera model has everything I’m looking for in a pet camera: it dispenses treats; pans so you can see the whole room; and, if you subscribe, has highlights from the day, broken down by activity or motion. It pans to the left and right so you can see the entire surrounding area, has super-clear 1080p HD color and night-vision resolution, two-way audio so you can hear, talk to, and see your pet, and treat dispensing through the app. Plus, there’s also seven-day storage, and a report of insights into your pet’s daily activities.
If you opt for Furbo’s Nanny service, it snaps pics and sends safety alerts about things like smoke or fallen objects, along with chewing or barking/meowing alerts. It can even spot intruders, too. The video clips are stored in the Cloud, so you can review the footage at any time.
