Petcube - Bites Indoor 1080p Wi-Fi Pet Camera - Rose Gold

Petcube model: Petcube Bites Internet: cable 150 mbps Hardware: iPhone 7s Plus with IOS11 Aesthetics: The unit looks well built with good finishings. Opening the treat compartment is easy and intuitive. The overall shape and colour scheme of the unit is modern and fits well into most environments. Set Up: Set up worked once the 2.4 g internet speed on the phone was selected. The app’s set up instructions were clear and easy to follow. Camera: The camera quality meets the standard of 1080p but compared a Nest cam or Logitech Circle, the image is not as clear. The image is fuzzy and coloration is not as vibrant and true. Infrared is good, though the image sharpness does not match the Circle or Nest. Treat Throwing: Treat throwing works well overall. There is some delay in preparing the treat for throwing and there seems to be a slow mechanical process before the treat is flung. Two-Way Audio: The two way audio works fairly well. It is loud with little lag. The two way audio should be automatically on like Logitech Circle. App: The connection speed to the camera is marginally slower to connect than the Logitech Circle and Yi cameras. The app could be improved upon for user intuitiveness. I would recommend having people who have never seen the app or the camera pick it up and try to figure it out without instruction and see how fast they learn. The audio icon at the top right of the screen looks like the standard settings gear box and is not intuitive to what it is; two way audio. Overall the product is well built and the app is functional and easy to use once the user becomes familiar with where everything is. This product is something pet owners should enjoy to use.

I bought this as a family Christmas gift. We were leaving town for two weeks and thought this would be a fun gadget to a )feed the cats some treats and b) check in on them every once in a while. Of course, the neighbor was coming in to feed them daily but the kids always worry about the cats being lonely. Setup was a breeze, only took a few minutes. We put it in our hallway which we figured out was a clear shot to spew out treats. Cats immediately loved this and soon tried to knock over the Petcube to get more treats so we engineered my daughter's hairband to tie the Petcube to the legs of our console table to prevent future attempts. We found the best treats that both the cats and dog like that work well in this machine are the cat treats Dentalife. They are big and round so they only spit out 3-4 treats at a time. The dog is happy to eat cat treats so that's not a problem. The quality of the video is great! Even nighttime mode looks awesome. You can also turn the audio on to talk to the animals which totally confuses the dog but oh well. This is a spendy product but worth it. Just make sure to buy it on sale. I would not pay over $200 for it as I've seen it around $160 on sale. Still a chunk of change but we are definitely enjoying this toy and gives us piece of mind when we are out of town.

I attached a Petcube Bites to the doghouse on my back patio. The dogs love it. My dogs constantly wait by the Petcube waiting for me to fling a treat. I can check up on them while I'm away from home using the phone app. When I talk to them through the phone app, it's the funniest thing because they can hear me but they can't see me. Their ears perk up and they look in the direction of the Petcube but aren't quite sure what to do, at least until I fling some treats at them. The product is very sturdy and well made. The camera quality is really good for both photos and video. The sound/microphone on the Petcube is very sensitive and can give a little bit of an echo effect -- that is, when I use the app to talk to my dogs on my phone, I hear my voice played back a second or two later after it is transmitted to the Petcube where I hear myself on my phone. But at least I know it's working when it does that. You do have to use the correct sized treats or else the Petcube dispensing mechanism can jam, but if there is a jam, it's very easy to fix by emptying out the container and then pouring the treats back in. The app lets you "share" the camera and treat dispenser with anyone you want to share it with, like family or friends. And you can set up specific times when those shared users can access it. Overall, this is a fun and great product if you want to keep tabs on your pets and give them treats remotely.

My husband and I have greatly enjoyed having the PetCube for our dog! When we adopted our rescue dog, my husband was working remote from home, but recently his employer was able to find a building for their employees and he is going to the office most days out of the week. We were a little concerned leaving our rescue dog at home alone, as she showed some mild signs of separation anxiety when we had left her at home alone for just a few hours at other times. This camera has really helped our concerns with leaving her at home, as we're able to talk to her when needed and she can hear our voices to know we're still "there." The camera is plenty good enough to see everything our dog is doing at home. We have it set up in the living room, where she hangs out the most, and the wide camera view is perfect for seeing the entire room. The two-way communication is also great, despite a slight delay. We preferred to get the camera that has the treats and haven't had any issues with them shooting out. The treat dispenser has three different distances, all are very reasonable distances, not too far and not too short. We've had no issues with the app and like it very much. PetCube makes it very easy to navigate the app, to turn on the camera, to record any videos from the camera, and to dispense treats. Not a negative thing but something to note: we were expecting a smaller size and were a bit surprised at how large it is. It holds a fair number of treats, so it's mostly so large as to hold the treats and be able to dispense them out. We just had to be a little creative in how we set it up in the house. So just keep in mind that this particular PetCube won't fit in a tiny space and needs a little over a foot of height to sit comfortably. Overall, we are extremely happy with the PetCube and would highly recommend it to anyone who is concerned about keeping their pups at home alone!

I was super excited to receive my Petcube Bites Pet Camera. The packaging was very impressive – very nicely packaged in its carrying case with a handle on the side – it sort of reminded me of Apple’s packaging for the MacBook’s laptops. The setup was pretty straightforward – download the application on your phone, setup an account, plug in the device and connect to it. Then, just fill the large storage compartment with the Wellness dog treats it comes with! I used it a few times the first day and then for some reason the wheel that spins to release the treats from the upper compartment stopped working – I ordered a replacement and received it the very next day – great customer service with quick response time. I’ve had that unit for about three weeks now and it’s working great and making my puppies super happy! I read some reviews that the treats get jammed but I have not experienced that with mine. My dogs love it – I get notifications when the camera picks up their motion and I catch them licking the little compartment that dispenses the treats! haha I really like that I can add family members to access the camera and shoot out treats too! It’s endless entertainment!

Just set up the Petcube Bites Camera yesterday. It comes in very nice packaging with easy to follow instructions. The setup was super easy and I am not mechanically inclined. I did have a slight issue getting the app to access my microphone for the two way sound but that was MY issue. I went to the online chat feature and my issue was resolved within minutes. I really like that you don't HAVE to mount on a wall. You can see in my picture that I just set it against the wall. It can move room to room easily. I moved it to the kitchen area when I left for work because that is where my dog's water is and I know she frequents that area. When I got to work, I had to try it right away. At first Ellie (my dog) barked at it but she couldn't resist the treats. Ellie normally doesn't like hard treats but she devoured the ones provided. All in all, it is a fun gadget. The video quality is pretty good and the angle does cover a fairly large room. I will update the review if anything changes but as of right now, I am pleased with the purchase. It's nice to check in on Ellie during the day. Aren't you curious what your pets do all day!?

I received the camera in 2 days. It was in a nice package that had everything laid . It was easy to follow the directions. I downloaded the petcube app on my iphone and was able to view the room almost immediately. Since I have small cats, I decided to place it on the floor. I received a notification on my iphone when it was activated by a motion and there was a short video. Unfortunately, the unit came with dog treats and I did not have the correct size treats available to try that. However, you can easily order treats from Petcube using the app and they are reasonably priced. I saw on the app, that you can remotely send a treat and select the distance. The video is in color during daylight and it records in the dark in black and white. The audio is also totally cool. The cats were so funny looking at it while hearing my voice. I thought it was also interesting to see the cats roaming around in the middle of the night. I would definitely recommend this. The video is high quality and encompasses the entire room. You can easily record or snap a still shot from your phone. See the photo attached I took of my 3 cats.

My pup Tina and I are huge fans of Petcube Bites. I got the product because of the long hours spent at work and wanted a way to interact with Tina while not at home. She's very food-motivated so the flying treats is a huge win for her. The product packaging is great, complete with a mounting guide and materials making it easy to get started. Setup to wifi is a breeze and the app is relatively user-friendly. The only issue I had was in terms of understanding privacy when first logging in. You can choose to make your feed public which had me worried at first that I was broadcasting my home to a ton of people, however upon searching I found that feeds default to private. I love that you can schedule the times to launch the treats or shoot them sporadically - its kind of a fun game for me too. It's also super convenient re-ordering treats directly through app. The best part though is getting to talk to Tina and hear her back with the 2 way audio -- really feels like she's at work with me. I definitely recommend this product to any pet owners who miss out on time with their fur babies because of busy schedules.
