Furbo - smartest pet camera

The Furbo app is the companion application for Furbo pet cameras. It connects to your Furbo camera via Wi-Fi and lets you live-stream 1080p HD video of your pet, communicate through two-way audio, and remotely toss treats — all from your smartphone. With a Furbo Nanny subscription, you also get AI-powered features like auto pet tracking, video history, and daily health insights.

Yes. Basic features like live streaming, two-way audio, treat tossing, and barking/motion alerts are available without any subscription on standalone Furbo camera models. The subscription (Furbo Nanny) unlocks advanced AI features including video history replay, daily activity reports, multi-pet tracking, and smart security alerts.

Furbo Nanny subscription is available at approximately $10/month or $75/year (with discount). The subscription includes AI-powered pet tracking, video history and replay, daily activity and health insights, multi-pet identification, people detection, and emergency alerts. Pricing may vary by region and promotional offers.

Yes! While Furbo originally focused on dogs, they now offer the Furbo 360° Cat Camera specifically designed for cat owners. The app's AI can track and monitor cats as well as dogs, and the treat-tossing feature works with cat treats too. The Furbo Nanny AI learns each pet's unique behavioral patterns over time.

Furbo uses LED indicator lights to show status: a steady yellow light means the camera is starting up, blue light indicates it's ready for setup, green light means it's connected and working normally, purple light may indicate a firmware update in progress, and red light typically signals a connectivity issue. Check the Furbo help center for your specific model's light guide.

Furbo works best with small, round, dry treats that are about 1 cm (0.4 inches) in diameter or smaller. Most small-sized dog or cat treats work well. Avoid treats that are sticky, soft, irregularly shaped, or too large, as they may jam the treat-dispensing mechanism. Furbo recommends testing treats before filling the hopper.

Wi-Fi disconnections are commonly caused by: weak signal strength (move the camera closer to your router), router band issues (Furbo works best on 2.4 GHz networks), network congestion, or router firmware needing updates. Try restarting both your router and Furbo camera, ensuring the camera is within good Wi-Fi range, and checking that your internet speed is at least 2 Mbps upload.

Both Furbo and Petcube are popular pet cameras, but they differ in key areas. Furbo's unique advantage is the treat-tossing feature and 360° tracking capability. Petcube offers a built-in laser toy for cats. Furbo's AI (Furbo Nanny) focuses on health and behavior insights, while Petcube emphasizes social features. Both offer 1080p video and two-way audio.

Yes, Furbo supports shared access. You can share your Furbo camera access with family members by inviting them through the app. Each person needs to install the Furbo app and create their own account. Note that all shared users need the account owner's login credentials on some older models — Furbo has been improving multi-user support in recent updates.

Setting up Furbo is straightforward: 1) Download the Furbo app and create an account, 2) Plug in your Furbo camera and wait for the indicator light, 3) Follow the in-app setup wizard to connect to your Wi-Fi network, 4) Position the camera where your pet spends time, 5) Fill the treat hopper with compatible treats, and 6) Test the live view and treat tossing from the app. The entire setup usually takes under 10 minutes.
