Petcube Bites + Petcube Play - Gadgets that let you play and feed your pets remotely

We are responsible for those who are domesticated and no matter whether it is a cat, a dog or a rabbit. Psychologists that our pets suffer greatly by being left alone have proved it. Unfortunately, we cannot always devote time to them, as we have other responsibilities - work, study, family care. Unfortunately, you cannot explain this to pets. That is why the world's leading manufacturers produce many interactive toys that can distract our pets while we are away. Today we head to San Francisco (USA), where a creative engineering company from Petcube Inc. Great dog and cat gadgets for Petcube Bites and Petcube Play have been created to allow you to play with animals remotely, watch their behavior, take funny 1080p photos and videos, and treat them with treats. In addition, all this will be done with a smartphone. Particularly proud is that half of the developers are our compatriots from Kyiv (Ukraine).

Features of the novelty

Pets are quickly becoming a part of the family, sometimes we care about them more than people are. Fluffy friends help us cope with daily stress, give us joy and peace. Among the breeders of pets are not only dogs, but also lovers of cats. Therefore, many interactive toys are designed to be unified based on two types of animals. However, most toys are for dogs only, as their numbers have increased significantly lately.

Earlier, we talked about working with Felik artificial intelligence from Seattle-based Angry Lychee LLC, an American company that aims to entertain pets to catch up with an infrared laser-pointer, equipped with a 170 ° wide-angle lens that allows them to monitor their behavior, shoot funny videos and photos at 4x zoom, stream them to a special app so you can share your sweet moments on social networks. Moreover, all this will take infinitely long; since the device is powered by a mains power supply and is not battery dependent (you can read more about it on the link below).

Today's novelties have both a similar and different principle of action. According to the manufacturer, he wanted human interaction with pets to a new level. Many animals can hardly bear separation from their owners, so they need to be constantly taken care of. Both gadgets - both Petcube Bites and Petcube Play are powered by the mains, so their autonomy depends only on the presence or absence of electricity. Both devices are managed with the help of a special Petcube application.

What is the difference between two gadgets and whether or not to buy them both? Now we will tell you about it. Therefore, Petcube Bites is a feed tank and camcorder with a 180° wide-angle lens. The shooting quality is quite high at 1080p (HD). In addition, you have four-x digital zoom and nighttime shooting. The novelty also has motion sensors and as soon as it detects movement in sight, you will immediately receive a message about it. Based on the situation, the owner can feed or play with his animal.

In the application, you have the opportunity to set a shooting schedule - around the clock, or at certain times - for example, when you play with an animal with a laser pointer, which is also included in the package and is activated automatically or with a special key. You can also use the built-in speaker to chat with your pets, and listen to them answer you through a microphone. Recently, the gadget has been substantially refined and features voice control using Amazon Alexa.

With Petcube Bites, you can train your animals remotely and treat them with treats automatically or manually. The volume of the storage tank is at least 1.4 kg, and the dimensions of one unit of feed that can safely pass through the feeder is no more than 2.54 cm. It can be mounted on any flat surface of the wall, because it has special fasteners (hooks). For reliability, the manufacturer recommends using anchor screws in the number of two units. The dimensions of the device were 14.5 * 7.6 * 27 cm (length * width * height).

Petcube Bites can be used to train your pets remotely, to encourage them for good behavior, to distract from petty dangers, and to play and socialize. In addition, you can broadcast calming music or recording your own voice to your dogs or cats. The device supports Wi-Fi or Bluetooth communication with the smartphone and the app. The novelty tank is easily removable and can be washed in the dishwasher. The app also allows you to set up your Amazon account and order goodies using it by setting up a notification of their expiration.

Petcube Play is a smaller version of Petcube Bites. It does not have a storage tank for feed or treats. The gadget looks like a 1080p camera with a 180 ° wide-angle lens. The novelty also works from the power supply network, so its autonomy should not be taken care of. It has a four-digit digital zoom so you can see the smallest details of your pet's life. Night shooting is also available here. The device is controlled using the same Petcube application. The interaction is via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

For the Petcube Play user, the following options are available for the application - 24/7 auto recording, automatic laser pointer play, two-way pet communication with the built-in microphone and speaker. Both owners of dogs and cats, without restrictions, can use the novelty. Unlike the previous device, it can be placed on a bedside table, table or cabinet. Its dimensions were 90.1 * 81.45 * 90.1 mm (length * width * height). All videos from both gadgets are automatically stored in the cloud for 10 or 30 days, with consistent history playback.
