Furbo Mini 360° [New] 2K QHD Pet Camera – Unlock Smart Camera & Smart Features w/Paid Plan: Dog & Cat Safety Alerts, Rotating Treat Dispenser w/Speaker (Subscription Required, Low Risk 3mo Minimum)

The Ultimate Peace of Mind for Anxious Cat Parents (And a Ton of Fun!)
Overall Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)As a devoted cat parent, I’m plagued by the classic questions every time I leave the house: Is he okay? Is he bored? Is he lonely? Did he just knock over that expensive vase? I’ve tried other pet cameras before, but they were always static, and my cat, like most, is not a statue. He roams. I would end up staring at an empty patch of carpet, which did nothing for my anxiety.Enter the Furbo 360° Cat Camera. I was intrigued by the 360-degree view and the smart features. After several weeks of use, I can say without hesitation that this is the single best “pet-tech” purchase I have ever made. It’s a peace-of-mind machine.Section 1: Unboxing, Design, and SetupThe setup process was impressively simple. I downloaded the Furbo app, plugged in the camera, and followed the on-screen instructions to connect it to my home Wi-Fi. The entire process took less than five minutes.The unit itself is sleek, modern, and sturdy. It doesn’t look like a clunky piece of security tech; it blends right into my living room decor. The base is wide and heavy enough that my cat has (so far) shown no ability or interest in knocking it over. The treat-loading mechanism is simple, and I love the natural bamboo lid, which feels secure and “pet safe”—no easy-to-chew plastic bits.Section 2: The Hardware (What You Get Out of the Box)The core features of the camera itself are fantastic, even without the subscription.The 360° View: This is the absolute game-changer. Through the app, I can swipe to pan the camera a full 360 degrees. But the real magic is the auto-tracking. When the camera sees my cat move, it automatically follows him. I no longer lose him as he walks from the couch to his food bowl. I can see everything.Video & Audio Quality: The 1080p HD video is crystal clear during the day. The auto-night vision is equally sharp, allowing me to see his late-night “zoomies” in perfect black-and-white detail. The two-way audio is crisp with minimal lag. I can call his name, and he instantly looks up and often meows or chirps back.The Treat Tosser: This is my cat’s favorite feature, by far. The app has a simple button to toss a treat. The Furbo makes a little “calling” sound (which my cat learned in less than a day), and then it quietly flings a treat across the room. It’s a wonderful way to interact and reward him for just being cute, even when I’m at the office.Section 3: The “Furbo Nanny” Paid Plan (The Smart Features)This is the most important part of the review. To unlock the smartest features—the proactive alerts, cloud recording, and advanced security—you need the paid “Furbo Nanny” subscription. I was hesitant at first, but after the free trial, I was completely sold. The hardware is the “eyes,” but the subscription is the “brain.”Here’s what made it an easy decision for me:Proactive, Specific Alerts: This isn’t just a generic “motion detected” alert that my old security cam gave me for every dust bunny. Furbo Nanny gives me alerts I actually care about:Cat Activity Alert: I get a push notification specifically when my cat is running, playing, or jumping on furniture. I can quickly check in, see he’s just being a cat, and go back to my work.Meowing Alert: This is my most-used feature. The Furbo detects the sound of meowing and alerts me. I can then open the app, see if he’s just saying hello or seems distressed, and use the two-way audio to talk to him and calm him down. It has been a miracle for my “is he okay?” anxiety.Person Alert (Home Security): This is the “Home Security” feature. The camera can tell the difference between a pet and a person. I get a specific “Person Detected” alert, which is invaluable. I know exactly when the cat sitter arrives or, more importantly, if someone who isn’t supposed to be there enters my apartment.Cloud Recording & “Kitty Diary”: The Nanny service records these “events” (meowing, activity, people) and saves them to the cloud. My favorite part is the “Doggie/Kitty Diary.” At the end of the day, the app creates a 60-second highlight reel of my cat’s activities, set to cheerful music. It’s beyond charming and saves me from having to scrub through hours of footage to find the cute moments.Section 4: The Verdict: True Peace of MindThe Furbo 360° Cat Camera is a premium product, and the subscription is an added cost. However, the value it provides is immense. I am no longer a high-anxiety cat parent. When I’m in a long meeting and my phone buzzes, I see a “Cat Activity” alert, open the app, watch my cat bat his favorite toy, toss him a treat, and close the app with a smile.It’s a security camera and a pet interaction tool all in one. It has strengthened my bond with my cat and given me the freedom to be away from home without the guilt. If you, too, are an anxious pet parent, you cannot put a price on the peace of mind this device delivers. It’s worth every penny.

Well worth the purchase
I was on the fence for so long about getting a Furbo, and I couldn’t be happier I got one now.I have 2 mischievous pugs that bark and get into everything, they can’t stay crated while I’m gone, so I feel so relieved I can watch them through the camera. I get alerts when they’re barking, moving around, and even when they’re chewing on something. There’s soothing music that plays within 15 seconds of one dog barking and that’s been a lifesaver. They also like to stare at the camera when I’m home now because they’ve learned treats can shoot out.Overall a purchase well worth it; with so many great features. The set up was super easy, I never have any issues with connecting. The night vision is very clear, the daytime picture is clear as well.

Werkt zeer goed . Makkelijk te installeren.

La tuve que regresar por que resido en México y la de gatos todavía no funciona en México, pero luego luego compré una de perros, ¡LAS AMO!

Positive points:I bought this to give myself some peace of mind while I am away from home. It definitely does that. My dogs recognise when it is in use as the light changes from yellow to blue (colours dogs can see). They usually look up immediately when I turn it on to watch them, even if I don’t activate the microphone or dispense any treats. They quickly learned to recognise the noise it makes to signal that treats are coming and come to get them very eagerly. They also seem to recognise my voice when I speak to them through the microphone and will obey commands I give them.The night vision camera is great for low light conditions and often gives a clearer view than the normal camera, even during the day.The Furbo takes their regular kibble as well as various different brands of treats, so long as they are in small pieces. The unit looks easy to clean and the mechanism hasn’t jammed once after dispensing treats hundreds of times now.I love that I can take photos and videos of my dogs and some of the things they get up to when they think I can’t see them. I just wish I could show them the photo evidence of them caught sitting on the sofa!The barking alerts work well. They are sent promptly and let me check in and decide if I want to speak to the dogs or dispense treats to distract them. It ignores the gruff and growly noises my dogs make when they are just playing nicely together and only picks up and alerts me to a “genuine” bark.Negative points:It took a while to get this set up properly as the Furbo unit wouldn’t maintain a good connection with my router despite it being in direct line of sight and only about three metres away. My phone showed a full wifi signal where I had located the Furbo. The customer services team were excellent. Very helpful and prompt with their replies. After a firmware update and then resetting the Furbo and connecting again it has been much better. I bought a wifi signal booster hoping that would give me 100% reliability for the connection. It is still a bit unstable, but is now good about 95% of the time.At first I could only use the app while I was also at home and using wifi (it wouldn’t connect using mobile data at all – I am on EE). This was a bit pointless. However, after the firmware update and resetting the unit, it now connects perfectly over mobile data so I can keep an eye on my dogs while I am away from home.My dogs would destroy the Furbo unit if they could reach it to get to the treats inside, so I have placed it on a high bookcase. This works well but would be vastly improved if it were possible to tilt the camera downwards. As it is, I have had to tip the whole unit forwards and wedge a block under the base so that it gives a good view of the room. The wide angle is great, but when it is located up as high as I need to have it, I can’t see the floor (which is where my dogs are most of the time – or at least, where they are supposed to be but the sofa is obviously so much more comfortable!) without tipping it forwards. With the Furbo unit in this tilted position it is a little bit unstable and doesn’t fire the treats out so well. It still does, but they tend to just spill or dribble out rather than shoot forwards as they do when it is sitting level. It also gives out far more treats in this tilted position so I am going through them too quickly. As it is not possible to fill the unit with many treats to begin with, this is a problem.There is a slight delay on the camera so it is not ideal for talking to the dogs and timing my words to their behaviour and reactions, but the delay is only about a second so it is not a major issue.Overall, I absolutely love my Furbo. It was expensive but the peace of mind is has given me on the occasions I have needed to leave my dogs at home has been worth it. One dog in particular suffers from separation anxiety and she seems to take comfort from hearing my voice occasionally. Of course, I can’t be sure she recognises it is me speaking, but she recognises her name and some basic commands so it distracts her from whatever she is doing or feeling for a few moments at least.Even with my few criticisms, I would still give this 5 stars.
