What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Smooth, quiet 360-degree pan with automatic dog tracking that follows pets reliably across a room
- Treat dispenser uses silicone internals that reduce misfires and jams compared to earlier plastic mechanisms
- 1080p video with color night vision and 4x digital zoom gives a clear picture in low light
Reviewers push back
- Camera pans only left and right — it cannot tilt up or down, which limits coverage of vertical space
- Most intelligent features (detailed bark alerts, person detection, activity summaries, daily highlight videos) require a paid subscription
- Auto-tracking occasionally loses the subject and stares at a wall before self-correcting
Reviewers broadly agree the Furbo 360 is a well-built, dog-focused camera with reliable auto-tracking, a genuinely useful treat dispenser, and a polished app, though its best features sit behind a subscription.
Reviewers differ on placement height: one recommends three to four feet from the ground, another found two to three feet sufficient depending on the dog's size and temperament
