1080p Full HD Camera with Night Vision

The 1080p full HD camera provides you with a clear image that lets you see a 160-degree angle of your home at any time using an app on your phone. When the lights are out, you can turn on infrared technology to allow you to see what is happening. The built-in infrared flashlight floods the area with invisible light, and the built-in sensor can use it to put an image of the room on your screen. The Furbo dog camera will also record 15-second video clips or live stream the environment so you can keep a record of the activities that take placeFurbo Full HD Wifi Dog Treat Dispenser & Camera

Microphone and Speaker

The microphone and speaker allow you to hear what is going on in the room with the Furbo. You can also use the speaker to let your dog hear your voice, so you can comfort it if you are away for several hours. You can also give your dog commands if you have it trained, and it gives you a way to communicate with a house sitter.

Works with iOS and Android

You will control your Furbo Dog Camera using an app on a smartphone or tablet running iOS or Android operating system. These apps give you easy access to all of the functions available from anywhere with internet access. These apps allow you to record and save video, turn on infrared light, activate the speaker, and dispense treats easily.

Subscription Based

Unfortunately, many of the best features like event-based cloud recording, smart alerts, scheduling, and more require you to pay a fairly expensive monthly subscription. You can use other apps to get some of the features, but it isn’t very easy and not as good.

Divider 3Conclusion

The Furbo Dog Camera is a little expensive, but it is well worth it if you spend a lot of time away from home. Receiving a signal when your pet starts barking can help you detect intruders before they have time to make a getaway. It also helps calm your dog if it’s barking because of the mailman, but most importantly, it lets you spend more time with your pet. It can hear your voice, and you can even give it treats to help stave off hunger until you get home. We wish it allowed more features to work without the subscription, but we still recommend the Furbo because of its usefulness.
