Furbo 360 Dog Camera: Best for Pup-Tracking

As its name indicates, the Furbo 360 Dog Camera offers 360 degrees of visibility with fewer blind spots than its predecessor. It also has improved treat-tossing, color night vision, and an automatic pet-tracking option for $40 more than the standard Furbo, at $210. Otherwise, the 360 model retains all the features of the first Furbo, including a 1080p camera with a wide-angle lens, two-way audio, and free barking alerts. Two complaints: You need to pay extra to access event recordings, and the lens doesn't tilt up and down as it can on some indoor security cameras. But these are far from deal breakers, and the Furbo 360 is a compelling upgrade over the original if you have a large home or pets that like to wander, earning it our Editors' Choice award.

PROS

• 360-degree views with silent panning

• Automatic dog tracking

• Color night vision

• Quieter, more adjustable treat-tosser

• Free barking alerts

• Works with Amazon Alexa

• Attractive design

CONS

• Doesn’t tilt vertically

• No local storage option

• Some features require a subscription

• Lacks Google Assistant support

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Furbo 360 Dog Camera lets you see your pet and dispense treats remotely, improving upon the original with color night vision and the ability to pan from side to side for 360-degree views.
