Petcube Bites 2 Lite Interactive WiFi Pet Monitoring Camera with Phone App and Treat Dispenser, 1080p HD Video, Night Vision, Two-Way Audio, Sound and Motion Alerts, Cat and Dog Monitor

Petcube as a company actually cares a lot about their customer's satisfaction and definitely deserves kudos! When I had issues with my first unit, Customer Service issued me a new one which fixed the connectivity, treat dispensing and garbled speaker noises. It turned out to be a hardware flaw but this new one works like a charm! When I leave the home, I feel safer knowing that I can watch where my pup is at all times. I love that you can see your dog anytime you want on the app--connectivity is great and there are no hidden fees to use it! It's easy to navigate, you can snapshot or record video, hear your pup and let the pup hear you. These features can all be toggled on or off to customize your experience, which is very nice! The speaker is clear and you can control the volume on your end and what your dog hears. The zoom feature is digital (not optical) so it's normal for it to be fuzzy when zooming in--but the picture is very clear and covers a wide range (fisheye lens style) of the room. If you confine your pet to one space, this is perfect. Otherwise, it's best to get multiple units to cover other rooms. One impressive feature I love is the Night Vision, which is incredibly clear. It flips on in an instant once the light gets dim enough, and you hear it click (the red indicator also turns on). It's really amazing that it even captures the light from dust flying around the camera in a dark room at night! When you place your treats in the unit, be sure that you're using the right sized slot provided (small, med, large) and that the treats are able to fit in the revolving grooves at the bottom. Otherwise you may get large treats stuck, or small treats shotgunned out (though your pet will be VERY happy about this, lol!). My dog used to be alarmed by the noise, but after realizing that the noise means treats, he happily rushes up to it which lets me know he's ok! Love my new Petcube Bites 2 Lite, it's so much more affordable than the FurboCam and much more versatile and pet-centric than a vanilla security cam!

Our doggo Maui loves the petcube product line. She would always sit in front of it asking for a treat. If only she could ask Alexa to throw a treat (Haha)! We love the new petcube lite look, especially with the white finish. Although its plastic vs. aluminum, its light weight structure makes it easy for hanging or traveling. This unit does not have a built in alexa, like our previous one, but it does connect to any alexa product. Hence, the price difference. The video quality and connectivity has continued to improve with every product release. Initial setup is always fairly easy and straight forward. The 2.5 GHz vs. 5 GHz need from your home internet service is something to consider. Non-tech savvy customers may have a difficult time with set up, not with the Petcube directly, but with their home internet set up. We are always excited to see what Petcube is releasing next. It really relieves the anxiety of leaving our pet home while were away. If i were new to the petcube line, choose the one that works best for you and your environment. The new petcube lite worked best for us. =================================================================================== Review Update: A few things about Petcube Lites that we thought is worth mentioning. We have been back to work for sometime now so the Petcubes are in use more than ever to entertain our Maui. Within the recent week, our neighborhood had a power outage and we had to manually reset the pet cube when we returned home. A redundancy system or notification that power was disrupted may be helpful for events like these. Since then, our Petcube Lite is working hard and Maui is waiting for a treat each day like clock work!

It worked for 1.5 years and started to growel and not fling treats. Sound is messed up too. I tried cleaning it and used different gates, and different treats but they all get trapped still and the spinner stops working so it won’t reverse when treats get trapped and just GRINDS GEARS they won’t work at all after that and you have to manually fix it, which defeats the purpose. I paid $130 at the time, now in February of 2025 it’s $99 and not worth that. I’ll try another brand. UPDATE: The company reached out to me after reading my sad tale and review. They asked if I would be interested in receiving a replacement Perdue camera and treat dispenser. I agreed even though I have purchased a different product from another company. I have just now set it up and so far it has been working. The picture looks good and it dispenses treats for my clowder. I will revisit this review in a year, or if anything comes up before then so I can update the review.

**Update: my second bites2 camera that I got just a few months ago now has the same exact issue. It connected fine to my wifi for a few months, and now suddenly won't connect anymore despite no changes to my network. I've now paid for 2 cameras that have been defective. The audio has never worked on either of them, unless I'm on wifi (which I almost never am when I'm out and needing to hear my pet). When I had the last issue, petcube sent me a regular petcam to try as well, but the audio doesn't work on that one either. Super disappointed in this product, the app glitches a lot, the connectivity issues, and the audio issues make it totally not worth the cost, especially with all the other products out there. **Edited to add: the customer service team for petcube has been very responsive. Unfortunately they said my device was out of warranty because I had it for over a year, so they would not replace it and did not have any fixes for the sudden wifi connectivity issue. They sent me a new device for half price, but the audio still doesn't work and there is still no fix for that, so they included a second camera (just the basic camera, not the treat launcher one) for free so we could connect both and have audio. The new Bytes2 camera is having some connectivity problems here and there and I get a frozen feed a lot, but at least it's something. I hope they can get all the kinks worked out and release a new version of the bytes2 because i has really great, useful features. I like the treat flinger, the camera quality is great when it works, the nightvision is great, and the alerts are great for sound/motion. Super bummed by this because I really like all the features this camera has, but it's been problematic from the start. The sound only ever worked if I was on wifi for some reason, so I couldn't hear or speak through the microphone unless I had a wifi connection on my own phone, which I often don't when I'm out. I spoke to the company after I got my petcube and they said this was a known issue but they didn't have a fix. I figured I could live with that because I needed the video and treat launch function the most. Last week after only having the device for a year and a half, it started clicking on and off over and over and flashing a yellow light. The camera will not connect ever since. I spoke to the company and did some troubleshooting and they said that it has a "defective wifi module." They offered to send a new one, then took the offer back and said that because I have had the camera for over a year that they won't replace it. Super disappointed- for the price, I would expect this device to last longer than a year and a half and I don't really want to spend $150 again to have the same thing happen. I'm especially disappointed because I am a dog trainer and use this camera a lot, and just had my who Guide Dogs club purchase a bunch of these, and I've been recommending them to clients. Knowing now that they break so easily through no fault of my own, and won't get replaced, I'm going to find something else to recommend to clients. Too bad because this design has some really useful features and the video quality was good. My dog is going to be pretty sad that the "treat ghost" won't be visiting anymore.

I recently purchased a Petcube bites 2 lite. I was really excited when I read what this product could do! Night vision cam, 1080p, 2 way audio AND a treat dispenser! I thought wow! This is exactly what I need for when I transition back to the work place after working from home for so long to keep an eye on my puppy. This was product was easy to set up and get connected. However, I can only connect to the product when I’m at home and on the same wifi network…if I’m on the go I constantly receive the “connecting…” or “getting video…” message but the product fails to connect. I decided to contact support and that’s when I was told that the system requires 2 Mbps Internet connection for upload and download speeds but 4 Mbps is recommended for both. I live in a rural area and my cellular speeds aren’t always guaranteed to provide me the minimum speed needed to connect while I’m out of the home. So basically I have a treat dispenser only when I’m at the house and I can only see my pet when in the house with him. This makes this purchase useless in my opinion and a waste of money but it works great at home! ***After working with the support team at Petcube they were able to push out a device system update and it now works using my mobile data! I’m upgrading this from 3 stars to 5 stars!*** They even provided me 3 months of their Care Awake plan! Thank you Petcube!

Update: December 2025– my feeder keeps jamming and I readjusted it at least 5 times but it seems like it’s no longer working consistently. Dropped down a star. I’ll try to clean it to get any clogs out underneath the spinning wheel Works great and I can silence the sound which was a big factor that won me over! It connects fast and it’s fun seeing my dog eat the treats! I will say that when I did connect, it did show some Chinese characters which is odd and it may use Chinese servers or something for storing the data. So be aware if you don’t want that since there are cameras involved

I purchased this camera after getting the small petcube camera and it works quite nicely; the lens provides more of a view than the regular camera and the treat dispenser worked surprisingly well. It does tip quite easily if you don’t mount it to a wall which I hadnt, and the kittens knocked it over a couple times but it is still working fine. The app is easy to navigate and has only frozen once or twice. I do get the premium subscription and have availed of the multi camera function as well as unlimited video downloads, and the ask a vet feature also came in handy when one of the cats was having digestive issues (not a sub for an in person obviously, but they gave some helpful tips on probiotics after one of them had finished an abx course). All in all very happy with the petcube experience so far; i have 2 of their small cameras, the 360 one and then this one.

Let me just start with my cats are OBSESSED with this camera. My boyfriend and I do long distance, and he's able to open up the camera every night to give our two orange boys their bedtime treats. I also love it for when I'm at work and at school to be able to give them a snack at lunch. They can hear or see the change in the sensor on the front and know when you have logged on because they come running to the camera and wait for a treat. The only improvement I would say is it would be nice if you could pan/move around the room with the camera instead of it being fixed on one spot. The cable it comes with is pretty long so I love that it doesn't have to be right by the outlet. My original camera I had for about a month and a half before it disconnected from the wifi and would not reconnect. I reached out to customer service, we tried everything to get it to connect and it wouldn't so they sent me a prepaid label to send it back. As soon as I shipped it, they shipped out my replacement and I'm happy to say the new one connected to the wifi right away. My boys are very happy that the magical camera is back! Will be buying another for my boyfriends house and his cat!

I’m not happy with this product. When throwing a treat, it’s aim is all over the place. It’s just inconsistent. The only useful is the camera. Other than that, it isn’t very useful. Not worth buying.

Bought this for my fiancé and our loveable 70lbs Standard poodle puppy. I am used to having wireless cameras around and am pretty used to their function, however I wasn't expecting much from this treat camera. Boy was I wrong! First very wide angle camera without much distortion or fisheye in the middle. The setup was EASY. The app is very user friendly, picture quality is VERY good, and the puppy loves it! The treat launcher is powerful so if you have a small room just be aware. I also like how more then one treat comes out at once, it keeps him distracted for longer and we just use his kibble so not too worried about the extra calories! The speaker on the camera is powerful and clear. We use the app all the time even when we are in the same room as him, just to distract him when he starts to bark. Last thing, it allows multiple people to share the feed if you both want access to the video feed. 10/10 would recommend!

makes going to work a bit easier when I can check in on my fur baby. He loves when I toss him treats when I am at work and I have the treat dispenser set up to send him treats after breakfast, mid-day and right before I get home from work.

Had this for over a year and while the camera is good and the scheduling is nice it gets jammed so much using either temptation treats or friskies treats. Updated to one star. Now the motor for feeding the treats is busted because of how often it got jammed.

The video function, including sharing with family members, is working as expected. The night vision works great too. Connectivity is quite reliable. I had a hard time finding the right treats to fling reliably. Eventually found quite spherical hard treats. The delay between choosing to reward and the fling is not ideal, but it is definitely getting the job done!
