How the Furbo Dog Camera helped me leave my pet home alone
A mischievous dog and an empty house can be a recipe for disaster — the Furbo was the perfect solution to monitor my dog while I was gone.
The Blink Mini is if you’re looking for a simple device without the pet-specific features. Like most other security camera options, the Blink Mini is easily controlled through its proprietary app, which allows you to see, hear, talk and receive alerts on movement and sound in your home. As the name suggests, it’s also super compact for storage in small spaces — and for keeping it hidden from sneaky pets.
Called the “Owl Robot” for its appearance, this toy-like device lets you move with and track your pets around the house through an app. It includes a full HD camera, night vision, two-way audio and a treat dispenser that can be activated while it's on the move. And if you want to use it all day, its battery life lasts up to eight hours when used continuously and five to 10 days on standby.
