This smart camera could be the answer to every pet owner's worry when they're out (aff)

I love my dog and always worry about her when I’m out of the house. When I'm on the school run I find myself wondering what she's doing. I’d like to think she’s curled up asleep on the sofa but worry she might be pacing around waiting for me to come back.

That's why I recently found myself looking at the Furbo Mini 360° a smart pet camera designed specifically for dog and cat owners. I'm not usually someone who gets excited about gadgets, but this is one of those products that immediately made sense to me because it's all about peace of mind.

The Furbo Mini 360° is a camera that lets you check in on your pets remotely through an app on your phone. What caught my attention, though, is that it goes beyond simply streaming video.

The biggest upgrade is the 360-degree rotating view, which means the camera can turn to see the entire room rather than being fixed in one position. For anyone who has ever checked the home camera only to realise their dog has wandered out of view, that sounds incredibly useful.

The Furbo camera rotates smoothly and quietly, helping eliminate blind spots around the room.It records in 2K QHD video quality and offers up to 8x zoom, making it easier to see exactly what your pet is doing.

One feature I particularly like the sound of is the automatic pet tracking. Rather than leaving you staring at an empty patch of floor while your dog has moved elsewhere, the camera can follow them as they move around the room.

Another thing that appeals to me is the two-way audio function. Through the app, you can hear what's happening at home and talk directly to your pet. I know my dog always seems reassured when she hears a familiar voice.

The Furbo Mini 360° also includes a lite treat toss function that can hold up to 10 small treats, allowing owners to reward their pets remotely throughout the day.

For anyone who has ever spent an afternoon away from home wondering what their dog is doing, Furbo Mini 360° seems designed to answer that question and perhaps provide a little extra peace of mind along the way.
