Why it matters
The Mini records 2K QHD with a rotating 360-degree view, 8x zoom and color night vision, and sends bark or meow alerts. It has a lite treat toss. Furbo requires a paid Nanny plan and one-time activation before any features work, including live view.

Pros and cons
Pros
- 2K
- Bark alerts
- Compact
Cons
- Plan required
- Activation fee
- Lite treat toss
Limitations to weigh
- Cameras need steady Wi-Fi; most only support 2.4 GHz, and many features sit behind an optional or required subscription.
- Review camera privacy settings, use a strong password, and turn the camera off or away when you don't need it.
- Count tossed treats toward daily calories, and use small, dry treats so the dispenser doesn't jam.
