Furbo 360° Dog Camera [Subscription Required] Unlock w/Paid Plan: Home Security & Dog Safety Alerts, Rotating Pet Treat Toss, 2-Way Speaker (Low Risk, 3mo Min. Cancel Anytime)

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 Setup The 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 Mind The 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.

I love Furbo. I’ve had the camera for a little over a year now. It lets me check in on my pet and also monitors the home when I’m at work. The only thing I don’t like is how often it looses connection to the internet, but that may be my service provider and not the product. It is really easy to reconnect to the internet and often reconnects itself.

This camera was an easy buy. It records day and night, gives updates throughout the day as well as live feed without worry, follows your pet as they move, allows you to talk to your pet and send them treats, and is sooo easy to set up and use on your phone. Would recommend 10/10!

I bought these to keep an eye on my dog when I'm at work. It literally took me less than 5 minutes to set up. I love that it allows you to throw treats while you're away. I opted for the subscription to the app (which is needed if you like to set up more than one camera), and it's incredibly easy to use. I can talk to my dog, move the camera, and throw her treats even when I'm away. The camera does have motion detection and moves along with my dog with I appreciate because sometimes my hands are full and I can't manually move the camera myself. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of the quality of the app. While it's a good app, I can only describe the picture quality as "good enough". While the color of the picture is relatively accurate, there is a lag in the video. There are times when I have to wait a moment for it to catch up to live footage, and even then, the live footage does lag slightly. When it comes down to it, I love it and even though it's "perfect", the price and fuctionality aligns with what I was looking for.

compact device and the video quality is great. We love the nanny features. I can keep track of my shiba while at work now, and watch him goof around. i love that i can give him little treats too. definitely recommended.

The Furbo 360° Dog Camera is amazing—especially if you have a puppy, multiple dogs, or just want to spy on your pets while pretending it’s “for their safety.” The camera quality is great, the rotation is smooth, and being able to check in from my phone is incredibly reassuring. The treat toss feature is fun and actually useful… with one very important warning: do not introduce this thing with treats and the lullaby music. I repeat—do not. I made that mistake, and my five year old toy poodle spent an entire week doing nothing but staring at the camera like it was a magical vending machine that might sing and spit snacks at any moment. He stopped living his life. He waited. The lullaby paired with the bark alert that automatically launches treats? Powerful. Too powerful. We had to do an adjustment period to break the emotional attachment that formed between my dog and this camera. That said, once we recalibrated and used the features more intentionally, it became an excellent tool. It’s great for monitoring, rewarding when needed, and keeping an eye on your dogs without actually being home. Just be mindful with the lullaby and auto-treat settings unless you want a dog who believes the camera is in charge now. Bottom line: fantastic product, very smart, very effective. Just know that with great power comes great responsibility—and possibly a poodle who worships technology.

I’ve used Furbo for a while and recently upgraded to the Furbo Mini 360, and I’m really happy I did. The quality on the camera is so far above what my vintage Furbo was. I showed my coworker and she ordered two for her home as well. It’s always given me peace of mind being able to check in on my dog while I’m at work and make sure she’s doing okay. The 360 view is a nice way to track my dog and I can see more of the room instead of just one spot. I like that this mini has the treat feature, my previous one did not. My dog has some separation anxiety, so being able to check in and toss her a treat when she’s calm has been really comforting. It helps me feel a little more connected to her during the day. The app is simple to use, and I like that it records short clips when there’s activity—I’ve caught some really cute moments or moments when she's not behaving that way. I think it is worth the Subscription and there seems to be great deals that Furbo puts out from time to time so I'd say take advantage of those. It’s also super small and doesn’t stand out. It just sits on the corner of our TV stand and blends right in. Overall, it’s been a great, low-stress way to keep an eye on her while I’m gone.

Easy set up and the video is crisp and clear, however, there are some things I do not like. The range is great as I have it sitting in between my kitchen and dining room and it will move between them both but it does not rotate and follow my pets very well. It will rotate and sit in a certain position for a long time and not pick up when my cats are walking by. It also does not zoom in on the animals. I read some reviews where it said it did but mine doesn’t so I’m unsure if that feature is not working or they are just wrong. What is really odd is I also bought 2 of the mini Furbos, the 360 one and the basic mini and both of these move up and down and zoom in. I find it bizarre that the larger model doesn’t do that?! I’m considering exchanging this one for the mini 360 Furbo as that rotates much better and will follow all animals as they walk. Now the video quality is much better on this larger model but I’m not looking to star in a reality show so I could live with lesser quality for it to actually pick up my pets every movement. One last pet peeve is that during the sleeping hours, it will stop saving videos. Example, my cat was playing around 2 am and it picked it up. He then jumped on the chair and laid down. At some point he made his way upstairs to my bedroom but when I looked at the saved videos, there was a gap from the last video at 2 am and nothing again til about 6 am. My cat got up and came upstairs and it didn’t pick him up. I don’t know if the mini 360 will do the same as I just set that one up today, so we shall see. It’s disappointing considering the reason I bought these cameras was because one of my cats has peed outside the box a few times and I have no idea which one. Since it’s not a daily occurrence or any signs of any other issues, I’m unable to see who it is. I thought getting cameras would be great to catch the culprit but that won’t happen if it doesn’t rotate or stops saving videos for 4-5 hours during the night. Overall it’s a nice cam if you’re just looking for a cute pet cam and not wanting it for the purpose of catching something on video. I’d recommend going with the mini 360 version for that if you are ok with a lesser, but still decent, video quality.
