Petcube Bites 2 Wi-Fi Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser & Alexa Built-in, for Dogs and Cats. 1080p HD Video, 160 Full-Room View, 2-Way Audio, Sound/Motion Alerts, Night Vision, Pet Monitor

I’ve had this for a few days now and I have to say it is a great addition to our “smart home”. With the kids going back to school, we wanted to get something that allowed us to stay in touch and interact with the latest addition to our family -- our rescue dog named Oreo. The Petcube exceeded my expectations in every way. From the initial unboxing, I was impressed with the quality of the materials and fit-and-finish of the Petcube. I downloaded the Petcube app using the QR code and walked through the setup to attach it to my home network. The configuration went smoothly and within 10 minutes the Petcube was online, connected to my home network and integrated to my Amazon account for Alexa use.I loaded the included treats into the dispenser and set the Petcube on the floor so that Oreo could walk around it. I grabbed one of the treats and placed it in front of the Petcube and she snapped that right up and began sniffing for more, immediately around the sides of Petcube. I opened the app to try and figure out how to dispense a treat. Pulling up the camera view, I was really impressed with the quality and detail of the picture from the Petcube. I do have several RIng cameras so I thought I knew what to expect but the picture output from the Petcube is really crystal clear. I dispensed a treat and Oreo didn’t quite get it at first but after the second dispensed treat, she got the idea. I dispensed a couple more times to see if she really liked the treats and she chased them down so it seems she does.Next, I wanted to try the two-way audio. I moved to another room and called Oreo from the Petcube. She was definitely confused with my voice coming from the Petcube but ultimately responded to my command to “go home”. So far so good! I’m interested in seeing how the bark alert works but she generally doesn’t bark much unless the pool guy comes into the backyard so I’ll have to see next week.I moved back into the room to test the Alexa integration. I have an Amazon Echo in the same room as I was testing so I wasn’t sure if it would work at all. To my surprise, the Petcube responded to the “Alexa” wake word rather than my Echo and the integrated speaker in the unit is quite good -- Alexa responses are clear and very easy to understand. I’m going to test a bit more and possibly find a new home for the Echo!Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase of the Petcube and will be installing the app on my kid’s devices as well. I’ll post an update a few weeks from now.

The media could not be loaded. I got this to keep an eye on my dog when I started working full time and it turned out to be the perfect solution for both of us! The 5GHz wi-fi support and more treat related options were the core motivators for me.The wi-fi setup was a breeze — it was so easy and quick I didn’t actually need to use the setup guide at all. I like the wide-angle view to see the whole room and the video quality is amazing — full HD, sharp and clear. The night mode is great too when I’m out or running late. I’ve come to really appreciate the two-way audio to be able to tell my pup to get off the couch or simply call him to fling a treat. I usually send him treats as a reward for behaving well and he learned fast! You can change the treat flinging distance to make it more fun and it works with major treat brands, so you won’t feel limited in choice or worry if you need to change your pup’s diet. Other times, I just set up the auto flinging mode so he gets some yummies during the day and I only check in on him when I get a pet activity alert. I signed up for the Petcube Care service because of the auto-recording feature — it’s very helpful when I’m driving or busy at work and can’t check in on him right away. I can then go back in video history and see what he was up to. Once I was able to catch him eating a chewing gum of the block I accidentally left on the table. I took him to the vet immediately — luckily, he was all good, rascal.Overall, I would recommend it for any pet parent! While it may not seem like a necessity for some, it’s very helpful to have peace of mind while away and I believe could be a lifesaver, too.A built-in Alexa is a nice bonus! It’s optional but can come very handy — you can ask her to treat your pet instead of you or look for some great dog treat recipies.Seller FeedbackThe product was delivered quickly and on time, as promised, and I had no issues along the way. It looked exactly as in the images and the packaging was brand new and beautiful. I was setting up the device late at night and had a few questions regarding the treat compatibility that I decided to address the Support Team about and was pleased to receive the super quick and clear response even though it was late.
