With Petlibro's Scout Smart Camera, Even Your Pet Now Lives in a Surveillance State
"While general security cameras let you watch your house (and pet) while you're away, pet cameras often have more pet-specific features, like dispensing treats or a two-way speaker to communicate while away. Pet cameras with SD card or cloud storage allow you to watch your pet anywhere, at any time, and review footage, plus these special pet features can help ease common issues like separation anxiety or boredom."
"AI feature can differentiate and track pets. Will recognize and organize videos of up to five pets. Has 360-degree pan-and-tilt and two-way audio features. Works with 2.4- and 5-GHz Wi-Fi. Camera disconnected with weak Wi-Fi and had to be manually plugged in to reconnect. Pricier than similar options on the market. Need a subscription plan to access most of the AI features. Privacy policy is vague."
