Petlibro, a company that makes pet care products, has announced the release of Scout, a pet camera that uses artificial intelligence. The camera is set up to help pet owners keep track of their animals when they are not at home. Scout can tell the difference between pets in a home, which is not something many cameras on the market do. This means owners can know what each pet is doing, not just that there is movement or noise.
The Scout camera uses AI to figure out which pet is in view. If you have more than one pet, the device can tell them apart. The camera then sends updates to your phone. If a dog is chewing on something it should not, or if a cat is climbing in a place it should not go, the camera can let you know. Scout is not just about sending video. It is about giving detailed updates on specific pets and the things they are doing.
Another feature of Scout is that it keeps a record of pet activity. You can look back at what your pets did during the day. This can be helpful if you are away from home for long hours or want to keep an eye on pets with health problems. The device uses cloud storage, so the footage and updates are saved off-site and can be checked from anywhere. Video quality is high enough to see small details, and the camera can work in low light.
Petlibro says Scout is easy to use. Setting up the camera does not take much time, and it connects to a home Wi-Fi network. The device can be used with a mobile app that works on both iPhone and Android phones. The app gives alerts, shows live video, and lets users look through saved clips. Owners can also talk to their pets through the camera using a two-way audio feature. This can help comfort pets that get nervous when left alone.
Scout is aimed at people who want to know more about what their pets do during the day. The device is for both dog and cat owners, and it can be used in homes with just one pet or many. Petlibro points out that knowing the difference between pets can cut down on false alarms and make the updates more useful. The Scout camera is now available for purchase. More information about the product and where to buy it can be found on the Petlibro website.
