AI summary of 5 reviews · as of Jun 2026
Furbo builds feature-rich pet cameras with strong AI detection and treat-toss interactivity, but software quirks and account-sharing limits frustrate multi-user households.
Where reviewers disagree: One reviewer loves the daily doggy diary video summaries; another finds them creepy surveillance of household members; Reviewers split on mount stability—one worries about pets knocking the lightweight unit over, another praises the sturdy build
Mixed reviewsWhat they praise
- AI alerts distinguish barking, howling, crying, smoke alarms, and person detection with useful granularity
- Treat-tossing mechanism works reliably and accepts any small dry treats, not proprietary ones
- Two-way audio and live video work well for remote interaction and reassurance training
- Camera quality is clear in daylight with good HD resolution and useful 360-degree rotation models
- Software receives regular feature updates that add value over time
What they knock
- Night vision produces odd double-ring artifacts or looks better turned off entirely
- App forces single account sharing so household members cannot customize their own notification settings
- Treat reservoir is surprisingly small despite large exterior housing
- Requires subscription for core features like alerts and cloud storage

Furbo review | Is it worth it?

How it holds up — after the dust settles
Furbo cameras deliver on their core promise of remote pet monitoring and interaction, with AI detection features proving useful over repeated use, though the product requires a monthly subscription to unlock most functionality.
What held up
- The AI behavior detection learns individual pets over time and reliably identifies barking, meowing, chewing, and bathroom accidents without excessive false alerts.
- Treat-tossing mechanism remains functional after extended use and the ability to record custom voice cues instead of mechanical sounds proves more effective for training.
- Two-way audio quality holds up for calming anxious pets during absences and the cameras continue to provide reassurance for separation training.
- The app interface stays stable for remote check-ins and the daily video summaries remain a consistently appreciated feature.
What disappointed
- Most useful features sit behind a required ongoing subscription rather than being available with the hardware purchase alone.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What makes Furbo different from other pet cameras?
Furbo pioneered the treat-tossing camera category and ranks first for dog cameras. Reviewers note the treat mechanism works reliably with any small dry treats, not proprietary ones, and the two-way audio and live video are effective for remote interaction and training.
How good is Furbo's night vision?
Night vision produces odd visual artifacts like double-ring effects that some reviewers find distracting. Some owners report the camera actually looks better with night vision turned off entirely.
Can multiple people in my household get different alerts?
No. Reviewers report the app forces a single shared account, so household members cannot customize their own notification settings independently. This frustrates multi-user homes.
What is Furbo best for?
Furbo works best for pet owners who live alone or share the same alert preferences and want AI-powered monitoring of barking, howling, crying, smoke alarms, and person detection, plus treat rewards for training separation anxiety.
Who should skip Furbo?
Households where each person needs different alert settings should look elsewhere. Also avoid Furbo if you're uncomfortable with AI-generated video summaries of home activity, since reviewers split on whether the daily doggy diary feature is useful or feels like surveillance.
What's the catch with the treat reservoir?
The treat reservoir is surprisingly small despite the large exterior housing. Reviewers note this limits how long the camera can operate between refills.
