Review of Petcube Bites Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser HD 1080p Video Monitor, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, Sound and Motion Alerts

Some worry about the safety of their valuables in their homes; others don’t like leaving their kids unsupervised for an hour. There’s also the category of pet owners that are willing to get a surveillance camera that helps their pet cope with the separation anxiety a lot better (it goes both ways, we gather).

Long story short, everyone buys surveillance camera for a reason, and when you get a pet camera, it’s pretty clear that you care for your pet deep enough. Only checking your pet from time to time isn’t going to cut it for you; you also need to interact or even toss your pet some treats any now and then.

Being away from home is no right for you or your pet, but you can help him handle it better with the Petcube Bites Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser. It’s an interactive camera that enables you to stay in touch with your furry friend when you’re not home.

You can take a look at every move and listen to every bark thanks to the real-time video. It comes with two-way audio so you may talk to your friend and listen to your pet back. The Petcube Bites Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser comes with an app, which allows you to throw different treats to your pet whenever you like. If your schedule is too busy, you may choose the scheduled treats for being dispensed at certain hours.

What’s to say about the technical specifications?

Petcube Bites Pet Camera details

Right out of the box, the pet cam has a solid build and a subtle profile, which fits any home décor. It’s well made and has a durability feel to it. It comes with a non-stick bottom, so it stays in place, and pets cannot knock it down quickly. The treat recipient cannot be open easily by pets, and its design doesn’t trap any curious paws either. All in all, the pet cam has a good weight and doesn’t fall easily.

The pet cam lets you check your pet 24/7 with crisp 1080p HD video. The images are clear, whereas the camera has a 138-degree angle view for better coverage of the area. You can check the details a lot better since the camera comes with a 3x zoom function.

No worries about not being able to check on your pet in low light conditions. The camera comes with a night vision feature, easing out the visibility without disturbing your pet.

The Petcube Bites Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser also gives you the possibility to speak to your pet and hear him bark or meow back. It’s a two-way audio model with crisp sounds at both ends. One of the many settings of the pet cam lets you use the voice mode, which isn’t robotic in any way.

Only checking your pet isn’t enough; therefore, the Petcube Bites Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser lets you check the last 4 hours of stored videos, without having to pay for a subscription. The pet’s activity is going to trigger the video recording by both motion and sound.

You should also check the optional subscriptions which give 24/7 video history, access to extended video clips, and even smart alerts for meowing/barking/pets, and people.

Many pet owners are going to fancy the Family Sharing functions, which allows more than one member of the family to check on the pet when you’re not home.

Is it tricky to install it? Is it user-friendly?

Thanks to its design and build, you may install the Petcube Bites Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser on any flat surface or attach it to a wall. It comes with the mounting kit too.

The installation is rather effortless for both Android and iPhone smartphones, thanks to the free Petcube app iOS 9.3 and higher. It works with Android 5.1 and higher, and you need 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi. You can also use it together with Alexa. It connects easy, and you’re going to be able to stream within minutes. You may also save snapshots from the last four hours of activity for free.

The Petcube Bites Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser includes three “care” settings that you can use according to your needs. The “awake” send notifications on your phone for motions and sound, storing them in the timeline. The “Quiet” mode does the same thing, but it doesn’t send notifications. You may also find the “sleep” mode handy at the time, since you use it when you’re at home. It turns off detection and doesn’t record any events.

As for the treat dispenser, it’s good to know that the recipient can hold two pounds of treats (no bigger than 1 inch each). It works smoothly, tossing the treats up to six feet in-command via the app. You can also schedule the device to dispense treats at specific times. Either way, cats and dogs alike are going to learn pretty fast what to expect from it.
