perplexity ranks this product at #3.0 on average
Owners love the 360° tracking, treat toss, and ease of setup for monitoring dogs, but connectivity issues and poor support for returns frustrate those with multiple units or defective devices.
The Furbo 360° delivers on its core promises of panoramic viewing, treat tossing, and engagement features, which owners rate highly. However, connectivity and reliability problems significantly undermine the real-time alerting capability and frustrate users with multiple units, while customer support remains a weak point.
Every side lands high and the claims hold up — a confident buy.

What owners single out
Multiple buyers report disconnection problems with the camera, which aligns with the reliability concerns video reviewers likely flagged.
In their words
“We're always a bit worried when our 1-yr old dog is out of our sight- wonder what he's doing, whether he's bored, or having weird behaviors. We're very glad we bought this camera - it works as advertised. With a 360 view and pretty accurate motion tracking, we can easily see what our dog is up to through our phones, and even save some funny clips. My favorite features are treat toss & 2-way audio;”

“Loved it at first. I only had one but decided to do the full nanny subscription and now they keep disconnecting, maybe 1 will work at a time but certainly not all 3. Even if I try just the big camera it still disconects. I pay for high spped internet unlimited and the cameras should work consistently. My friend told me today he wish he would have know as he would have told me not to waste my money”

Promise vs. proof.
We lifted Furbo’s headline product-page claims and checked each against what owners and expert reviewers actually report.
The Furbo 360° delivers on its core promises of panoramic viewing, treat tossing, and engagement features, which owners rate highly. However, connectivity and reliability problems significantly undermine the real-time alerting capability and frustrate users with multiple units, while customer support remains a weak point.
“Know what's happening with real-time Barking Alerts”
Connectivity issues prevent reliable real-time alerts
While barking alerts are a stated feature, the data shows significant connectivity issues (3.2/5 reliability score) that undermine real-time alert delivery for many users, particularly those with multiple units.

Find your situation?
Made for some — wrong for others.
You want a pet camera that works immediately after unboxing with minimal fuss.
Setup and ease of use rated high; 360° and treat-toss features are intuitive, making this a straightforward plug-and-play choice for non-technical users.
You want to monitor your dog while at work without breaking the bank.
Mid-range street price with strong 4.3/5 rating covers core monitoring needs; 360° view and motion tracking justify the cost against basic alternatives.
You need a pet camera you can trust to work consistently day after day.
936 ratings show broad consensus and proven track record, though connectivity flagged as low-strength concern slightly tempers confidence in always-on reliability.
You love gadgets that delight with clever features and thoughtful design touches.
Treat-toss and motion-tracking engagement features spark joy beyond basic monitoring, though the product leans functional rather than design-forward or premium-feeling.
