The notification I received this morning. It was not a bear. It was my dog.
Worked for me a couple of times, then broke (this mechanic, not the camera). No porn there
I loved my furbo up until they added Ai, now it's constantly disconnecting and when it is connected the livestream lags and freezes up. I would not suggest buying anytime soon. They seriously need to work on all the glitches or just do away with the Ai. Last couple of months the furbo has been garbage.
I personally do. It sends you push notifications. It has been a huge help in letting us know how our dog is doing without having to constantly check the app. Also has a person alert to let you know if anyone is ever in the home.
I loved ours. Subscription to receive live alerts is about 8$/month. Tells you when your dog is howling/barking, chewing, playing etc. although the 360 is more of a 270 degrees. Still a really good camera though. Has a wide lens view.
Holyyyyyy mine has been going off on its own and I was so worried for months now you just answered my question 😭
Does the Furbo have its own built-in voice? Or was ours hacked? We have two Furbos and neither my wife nor I can access either anymore, stating they can't connect. Nothing has changed, we have the same network, and we just rebooted both. Were a little freaked out because we have never heard it say "OK" before, much less randomly shoot out a treat.
✅ What Works
- Push notifications for barking/motion are genuinely useful day-to-day
- Wide-angle lens gives good coverage of a room
⚠️ Worth Knowing
- Owners report the camera randomly activating and talking on its own
- Privacy concerns raised about an always-on, always-listening camera
- Connectivity issues, including sudden inability to reconnect to the app
- Treat-tossing mechanism reported to break after limited use
Owners describe a camera that's genuinely useful when it works, but the mentions skew negative (5 of 8) on reliability and trust. Multiple owners report the unit randomly activating and speaking on its own — "neither my wife nor I can access either anymore" after one randomly said "OK" and shot out a treat — which reads as an unsettling connectivity/security issue rather than a one-off glitch. Others raise straightforward privacy concerns about an always-on camera and mic in the house, and one owner in an engineering-focused thread notes the treat-tossing mechanism "worked for me a couple of times, then broke." On the upside, owners who stick with it like the bark/motion push notifications and the wide-angle view. This suits owners who want basic remote check-ins and can live with occasional flakiness, but it's a pass if you're wary of an internet-connected camera with a history of unexplained activations.
