Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera, 1080P HD & Night Vision, 5GHz/2.4GHz WiFi & Cam Smart Pet Feeder with App Control, 2-Way Audio, Motion Alerts for Cats & Dogs, Stainless Steel Single Tray

We bout this and have been using it for 1.5 years now and it is AMAZING. I was doubtful that the connection would work but we have left the state several times for family trips and this thing works perfectly. The peace of mind that our pet is safe and well fed without having to rely on neighbors to help…priceless! And you can check on them in real time! It’s seriously rad. This machine has been absolutely wonderful and is WELL WORTH the price.

I was hesitant to buy this based some of the negative reviews but so far, I'm very happy with this feeder! I've done a few tests to rule out the issues that some people have reported and I'm happy to report that I haven't experience any issues in my case.At first, setting up the network and installing software update would fail over and over. What is odd is once I walked away from the unit, about 10 feet, it connected to Wi-Fi instantly, and software also updated instantly. Somehow the cell phone in-hand interferes with the unit connecting to the Wi-Fi signal. I wish I had known this from the start.I was concerned that my router is in the basement on the other side of the house. I was able to connect to 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi and the signal has never dropped so far. I have 5 Ghz as well but the router is too far away and there's too many walls for a stable connection. Besides 5 Ghz is over kill, video streaming works fine on 2.4 Ghz and signal travels farther and works better through walls.I have an AC timer connected to my router and ONT to cut power to both at 4:30am every morning for 30 minutes. This simulates a power outage and the Petlibro reconnects every single time no issues.I tested the backup battery by disconnecting the power adaptor and the unit continued to dispense as per schedule with the 3 D-cell batteries! However, it disconnects from Wi-Fi when running on batteries. This was probably by design to conserve battery. Disappointed as I like to see the food in the bowl and option to manually feed for peace of mind! I found an easy and cheap workaround that maintains Wi-Fi connection on battery power. I connected a cheap $20 4000mah portable USB battery, that is used to charge cell phones, into the USB port and then I plugged a USB phone charger into that battery. The battery is charged and powers the unit at the same time. Not all USB battery packs have this pass-through feature, and I was surprised that this small cheap power pack did. I chose to use a higher quality charger instead of the included charger as I noticed that the included power pack got a little hot when charging this USB battery. I then disconnected the charger from the wall outlet to simulate a power outage and the unit disconnected from the Wi-Fi for only 15 seconds but then reconnected. It's fully functional running on the USB power pack, stayed connected to Wi-Fi and enough power to run for 6 hours! An even larger USB battery will last at least 12-24 hours longer. Keep in mind this is only helpful if your Router & ONT are also on battery-backup/UPS so they are powered during a power outage. I have the smallest APC UPS for the router and ONT that cost $69. Also, the D-batteries are not even used until this USB battery pack is depleted! So technically my current setup will continue feeding per schedule for about 24 hours using both batteries. The unit apparently doesn't draw a lot of power, so I wonder why Petlibro doesn't allow Wi-Fi on the D-batteries or include a rechargeable battery instead of 3 D-batteries. D batteries are not cheap, they will lose power over time and are sold in packs of four, so I have a single battery left over. My USB battery is always 100% charged and ready to go so I prefer this setup.So far, the portion size is consistent and zero blockages. Then again, I am using very small kibble and set to 1 portion for 6 feedings. I need to dispense the smallest portion and feed more often as my cat throws up if he eats too fast or too much. This unit is great as my cat hasn't thrown up at all since, I bought this unit! I wish I could select an even smaller portion. Portion size is bigger when using small kibble.An added benefit of the motion activated camera is that it's also activated when my cat is drinking from the water fountain 12 feet in front of the feeder. I never see my cat drinking water and now I have proof. lolI have not confirmed yet that the low-food alert works but I will update the review if there are any issues.Some users have complained that you can't delete a scheduled feeding. Swipe left and it gives you an option to delete a scheduled feeding.So far, I agree with everything that is being said in the positive reviews and luckily not experiencing the issues in the negative reviews.

Edit: changed my review to 1 star. It forgets the internet connection every 2-3 weeks. Have to set up as new to restore it. Got to the point where I am sick of messing with it. It didn't last a year. Having owned 3 of their products, the long term quality is not good and the software is weak. Won't buy anything else of theirs.Original review: I have had a regular Petlibro feeder for a year that works fine (my only real complaint with it is that the display is bright enough to light up a room at night), but decided to upgrade to the Granary with camera for when I am not home. As a feeder, it works fine and is a lot easier to set up a schedule than the non-WiFi version. Potion size can be a bit flaky, but it does what it needs to do.The problem is the online component doesn't work for me. At first I couldn't get the camera to work at all. I could set up a schedule and tell it to dispense food on demand, but the camera would not work no matter what I tried, despite that it was connected to WiFi and had a good signal.I started to check various setting on my router to see if the problem was there. I had Geo-blocking turned on for a number of countries. I turned off blocking for China and suddenly the camera worked. I then blocked traffic to China again and the camera continued to work. I don't think it was actually sending anything to China, it was just a quirk that must have triggered some sort of reset of the connection.So now the camera works when my phone is on my home WiFi network. The problem is, if I leave the house the Petlibro app will not work at all. It says there is a network error and I can't see the feeding schedule, dispense food, or see the camera. I went through my router settings and nothing has fixed the issue. No other device on this router have any problems, so I think the Petlibro feeder is the problem. (I am waiting for support to get back to me, so far they basically just gave me a list of things to try if WiFi isn't work, but it is.)It doesn't appear to be calling home or anything. It is sending out a constant stream of data to "MQTT", an IoT telemetry/message service, but it's very little data (not enough to be video).The app is annoying, it wants to sell you descant bags for the storage area that it says should be changed every 2 weeks. It has annoying countdown for when the bag needs to be changed in the app. It wants you to subscribe to their cloud service for videos as well.It works as a feeder, but everything else is unreliable.

Bought this over a year ago and waited to review to see how it held up. It has been fantastic. I keep it filled with small diameter hard food pebbles for my cat's 6am meal. The "one serving" setting releases about 12-14g of food. The feeder is tamper proof. The cat has tried to get his arm in the hole, and it is built in a way such that he cannot hurt himself but also cannot force it to release more food. Eventually he learned that the touch panel will beep when you touch it, and tried to figure out what to touch to make it release more food, but the touch panel can be locked out from the app, or locked manually with a long press.I use the camera occasionally when we're away on a short trip, and it's fine. The feeder also keeps a log of each serving, and whether or not it completed successfully. The device has lost internet connectivity maybe a few of times over the past year (not its fault, probably my router) and it has always kept working to schedule as needed even if offline. There's a battery backup that keeps the feeder cycle working even if the power goes out.The top locks on securely. The bowl is easy to remove and clean. The app is a little slow but works fine and settings can be adjusted even when away from home. Couldn't be happier with this feeder.

PLEASE NOTE: If you already have an ONLINE Petlibro account (which Petlibro says is for purchasing product only) then you WILL have to create a new account using the app. Doesn't make sense, but trust me, I learned the hard way. Beyond that oddity (which drops a star in this rating, as they did not mention that in any of their start up instructions) the product so far seems to be working well:+ Build quality is good. Quality parts. However, the auger inside, which feeds the cat food through the bowl is surprisingly small and made of a rubber-like material. I am concerned that could wear out too quickly* Set up is easy (once I figured out why I couldn't even use the app due to account creation lack of info, see above). Just follow the directions, ALL of them, as the app walks you through. I had no problem connecting two of these feeders to my Wifi, which has both 2 gHz and 5.* The Android app is pretty good, until it freezes or crashes, which is too often. This tends to happen when you change any of the settings.* I originally had the "IR Night Vision" turned on but noticed that one of my cats seemed to jump away scared from the feeder once that night vision camera activates. I assume this use an IR light which, according to my research, cats cannot see, but apparently can feel due to extra heat receptors on their skin, compared to humans. I turned it off and there were no more problems.* By default, Two-Way Talk Mode is turned ON. I found this to be a problem, as when I was monitoring my cats while they were near the feeders they were startled and jumped back the second there was an incidental sound on my end. For that reason, I highly recommend switching to One-Way Communication. This can be done by tapping the Settings icon in the main device screen (looks like a hex nut in the upper righthand corner), then tap the Basic Function Settings item, then tap Talk Mode, then tap One-Way Communication. You will still be able to talk to your cat by holding the Talk button in the main device screen, so that sound on your end is heard by your cat only when you want them to hear you. Kind of like using a CB mic.* The notification feature is good and customizable. My cats and I are still in the "acquaintance" stage of these feeders, so i want to know which cat is at which feeder (and shoo the cat who is on the wrong feeder).* Note that this feeder uses grams to express the amount of cat food dispensed. That makes sense, as all kibble is different. Most bags of cat food express recommended feeding amounts in cups. So, you will need to find out via internet search how much 1 cup of your particular cat food weighs in grams. 1 serving on these machines is 10 grams. You can determine how many of these 10 gram "servings" should be done in 1 feeding.* Phone Battery-draining app settings: The instructions walk you through a procedure to keep the app always running in the background, as well as other settings which drain your battery. I get why they want to do that, but I ignored all of that, since my phone battery is 2 years old and is having difficulties with a full charge as it is already.

Purchased the first feeder (5L, with wifi & camera) in 2022 for our cat after she would wake us up at 5am for food, and after we stopped free-feeding her because she become a chunk. Adopted another cat in 2026 who happens to be extremely food-motivated (maybe even food-aggressive) and purchased the updated version of the 5L feeder for her.Both automatic feeders are working wonderfully and it really helps with feeding them both on time and stopping them from shouting at us when they are hungry. They know that the dry food comes from the feeder, not their adoptive mom. We are also able to feed prescription food to the cat who needs it.We are planning to order the slow feeder insert for the new cat, since she eats super quickly. That's a nice option to have available. Hopefully it helps!

I am writing this review after 4 years of using it.This is a great product if you are working. It truly is a life saver. Even if you know you're not going to home, you know your fur baby will not be hungry. Idea of the machine is great but but it has faults.Machine is working though time to time you get connection issue etc but it's easy to fix. Camera quality is also great for day/night vision. Sound works. Is it great? No. Is it working, yes.The only issue with this brand/model is they've been keeping doing new updates over the years and you lose one function on each update. First year I lost the function of recorded voice of myself that calls my cat everytime it gives food. And then I lost sound alerts. Even if you put a bomb in the house, it will not get activated at all. After another software update, machine stopped given notification when there is no food or the machine is offline. If you go in the app, you will be able to see these info about issues on the log but you will never receive a notification which is kinda dangerous because your cat can go without food for days if you dont catch up which it happened to me three times over the course of 4 years. Later, I complately lost motion activation. No matter what you do, it will not come back. Resetting is not working for all issues.I had sent feedbacks, questions on the app over the couple of years but never gotten a response.I recently sent them an email regarding these issues because I needed motion function to be working. Finally I got response every 2 3 days and it was all generics about how to reset the machine etc which I informed them that is not workingI requested if they can fix the software issue because there is nothing wrong with the machine and I guess they thought I am lying and want a new product from them, they said my device is out of warranty and they can only offer me to get a new one and give a small percentage of discount which i found it insulting.I do not need a new product since I have one. I just need you to fix the issue that causes all these for a faulty software. Which I never re give any response when the machine was still in warranty.The only thing is working is the camera and it feeds the cat. So with this very basics functions the dirt of this devise is not more than $40 which we all see the price here.You can get something better in this price range so save your money.Never trust a brand that doesnt stand for their products.

I’ve been using this PETLIBRO automatic feeder for my puppy, Grace, and it has been one of the best purchases I’ve made. It keeps her feeding schedule consistent even when I’m busy or away from home. The app is easy to use, and I love being able to adjust portions and feeding times whenever I need to.The feeder has been reliable, the food stays fresh, and it gives me peace of mind knowing Grace never misses a meal. The build quality is excellent, and setup was quick and simple.If you’re looking for a dependable automatic pet feeder, I highly recommend this one. It has made my daily routine so much easier, and Grace absolutely loves it!

Nice and easy to use feeder, with camera that you can see through an app. Really nice to have feeder which has allowed us to easily portion control our cat which needed to eat slightly less. Camera feature is great for when you out of the house and need some reassurance your cat is still getting and eating it's food! Being able to easily change the portions and schedule is great from the app, rather than having to fiddle around with any buttons on the device. Does seem to occasionally go offline for a while, not sure if this is from software updates, but happens every few weeks

Le distributeur est conforme à toutes les descriptions et est très facile à utiliser. L'application est parfaite et la mise en route est intuitive.Design et facile à nettoyer. Bref, je recommande!

A life changer if you’re leaving your pet for long hours daily. I had some trouble connecting the app at first however after few attempts it worked. The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because I am not sure how to contact there customer support as the lid is stuck and I’ve tried everything possible way to open it with no luck.

The feeder worked fine and helped us a lot of times but started to glitch after six months. Lack of videostream or a foodcall is a minor problem but today was the second time when it dispensed four portions to our dog.Even the dog was in shock but I was at work, one hour away, looking how it for some reason keeps adding food, knowing that dogs eat while there’s food and knowing that overeating is a death threatening thing.No convenience would beat a one time failure with severe consequences (the dog is fine two hours later but I keep looking)

It takes a bit of setting up, and when there are problems it takes up to 24 hours to get a reply to set-up queries, however they are good at responding. The software is not perfect, but it definitely makes life easier for every day use, and when traveling for perhaps a week or two our cat can be left alone and we know it is getting fresh dry food. You can monitor the dish via camera to add/change feeding times. The alarm function to notify you when the cat is eating doesn't seem to work, but it records the events so you can see them. It also tells you when you are out of food, but literally I don't have to touch it for weeks at a time. It's a game changing device.
