I'm a new cat parent and I tested a couple of my friend's cameras before I decided to purchase the Furbo cat and this product is by far the best one. Here's why the cat one is great:
1. The set up was SO easy. One of the products I tested, it took me 20 minutes to figure out how to get it working. I was so frustrated that I had to call my friend to help me figure it out. The Furbo cat, took less than 2 minutes and it was up and running with no issues.
2. The furbo camera is situated up high on the device which makes placing the device much better. I have it on my countertop and with the other devices, I had to put it at the edge of the countertop which made me nervous that my cat would climb up and try to knock it off. The furbo's camera is higher up so I can place it in the center of my counter and still have great visibility and I have less worry that my cat will come and knock it over. There are also little stickers that you can use to keep it even more secure.
3. The picture quality & the night vision quality were the clearest/best from the ones I've tested
4. Having the camera be able to rotate, was game changing. My cat has certain spots that she likes to be and with the other cameras, I had to experiment with several spots in my house to figure out how I can see her but with the rotating camera, I did not have to be as precise with my placement. Also if you have other people in the house, if they accidentally move the camera slightly, it's not an issue. I had that happen with the cameras I was testing and when I went to check in on my cat, I couldn't see anything anymore because they had moved the device.
5. I really like that it has a date/time stamp on the video
6. At regular price, the Furbo Cat is on par with the other cameras I tested price wise. I purchased it on sale which made it a no-brainer for me.
I have a lot of friends that have a Furbo for their dog and they rave about it. Now I understand why. I'm so happy I got the Furbo cat!
