Do you love your dog? Of course you do. When they’re happy, you’re happy. You try all things imaginable to pamper them and make them comfortable – when you’re at home. But how about when you’re out at work or need to travel? How can you monitor your dog? Well, there’s a way to solve this problem.
The solution is the Furbo Dog Camera, an interactive and fun way to see, talk and toss treats to your dog when you’re away from home. Let’s discuss all its features. It has a 1080p HD, 160-degree wide-angle lens camera with night vision capability. It also has a built-in microphone and speaker, allowing you to speak to your dog and calm it when it is stressed (good for separation anxiety). Two-way communication is enabled so you can hear your dog, too.
Setting up the Furbo Dog Camera is pretty straightforward. Plug it in and wait for it to start up. Then, download the Furbo app (iOS/Android) and create an account. It has a colored LED status indicator on the front. Various colors mean different things – white (Furbo is plugged for the first time), green (ready for setup), purple (not connected to Wi-Fi), yellow (connected to a Wi-Fi network), and blue (logged on to the app). After connecting to your Wi-Fi network, the Furbo app will guide you how to operate the unit and how to teach your dog to get used to it. You can take photos and videos of your pet while you are using the app.
Now, the fun part for your dog – open the lid and put some delicious treats into the Furbo. Round-shaped treats with a diameter of 0.4 inches work best. Just remember not to fill beyond the “max” mark. The treat launcher works by activating a plunger that pops up and knocks treats out one at a time via the dispenser hole. You can activate the treat dispenser by clicking on the treat symbol on the app.
Another bonus feature is the barking sensor. When the unit senses your dog is barking, it will alert you via the app so you can calm your pet and check what’s going on at home. To keep your pet’s inquisitive paws from knocking the unit over to get treats, there’s 3M double-sided tape at the bottom to help keep it in place.
Overall, the Furbo Dog Camera is a fun and exciting way to monitor your pet all day and night, even when you’re not at home. It has its flaws (microphone and speaker quality are just average, treats get stuck sometimes). But if you’re a pet owner who will do everything to make your dog happy, it is still a good buy.
