Furbo Dog Camera
Released in April 2016 via Indiegogo, the Furbo Dog Camera is an interactive device tailored for dogs that includes features such as two-way audio communication, live video streaming, and a treat dispenser for remote interaction. This product has been featured in prominent consumer technology outlets like The Verge, TechCrunch, and Gizmodo and holds the position as the top-selling dog camera on Amazon in ten different countries.
The Furbo camera delivers 1080p full HD resolution with 4x digital zoom and incorporates a 160° wide-angle lens alongside night vision capabilities. It is equipped with a high-fidelity microphone and an integrated speaker, as well as a specialized treat call designed to imitate clicker training techniques. Its construction utilizes durable 3M industrial adhesives to ensure stability and prevent tipping, complemented by a bamboo wooden lid that keeps treats fresh and prevents spills.
Furbo Dog Nanny
Furbo Dog Nanny is an advanced monitoring subscription service that provides instant notifications such as Dog Activity Alert, Person Alert, and Dog Selfie Alert, along with automatic cloud video recording. This allows users to access event-specific footage if they cannot monitor their pet live.
In addition to safety features, Furbo Dog Nanny captures everyday moments—from play sessions to visitor interactions—compiling them into a “Doggie Diary,” which is a summarized highlight reel of the dog’s daily activities for convenient viewing.
