It’s tough to go to work and leave your dogs behind. They could get lonesome, or worse, start messing around and chew on furniture. Or they could get rowdy and bark so loudly that they could disrupt your neighbors. You don’t want to be labeled the owner of unruly pets. Besides, taking them to a doggy daycare costs a lot of money. A cheaper alternative is to set up a pet camera. One that will allow you to not only see your dogs remotely but also talk to them and fling treats their way. A great puppy cam is the Petcube Bites pet camera with treat dispenser.

The Petcube Bites is currently enjoying a terrific discount on Amazon. It normally costs $249, but now you can get it for only $99 — that’s a whopping $150 worth of savings.

This pet camera features a 1080p high-definition camera for you to monitor your dogs 24/7 from your smartphone through the Petcube app. It has a 138-degree wide-angle view that allows you to see the entire room where you place the puppy cam. Put the Petcube Bites someplace high or mount it on the wall so that your dogs won’t be able to reach it. If your dog is somewhere far away in the room, you can zoom the camera up to three times to check up close what it’s doing.

This puppy cam allows you to chat with your pets as well. With the two-way audio, you can say sweet nothings to them or order them to quit barking or stop gnawing on a table leg.

You can fling treats at them at varying distances whenever you want, or you can set up a schedule. If you have a bigger room and you’re training your dog’s agility (or just want to them to exercise), launch the treats as far as six feet away. The treat compartment is dishwasher-safe so you can wash it occasionally so that it stays sanitary. The dispenser is most compatible with dry treats measuring about an inch in diameter or less. It has a capacity of two pounds and has sensors that will tell you on the app once it is about to run out of treats.

The pet camera is easy to set up. Just turn it on and sync it with the Petcube app. It will only work with a Wi-Fi network and it’s also compatible with Alexa. It has free cloud-based video storage that will let you watch the last four hours of footage. Video recordings of your pet’s activity are triggered by their movement. You can also choose to subscribe to the optional Petcube Care plan which will provide you with 24/7 video history, extended video clips, and Smart alerts whenever your pet barks or if it detects other people.

The Petcube Bites is a great little device that allows you to supervise your dogs even when you’re away from home. If you wish to see a similar device check out the Furbo dog camera. For more pet techs click here for the best pet gadgets from CES 2019.

Apple wants $279 to fix your $299 HomeView, so you better not drop it
Apple’s newest smart display comes with a not-so-smart repair bill.
Apple HomeView feature

I was genuinely excited when Apple announced the HomeView. A 7-inch smart display from Apple sounded like something I would happily put on my kitchen counter. Then Apple published its repair prices, and my excitement took a nosedive.

Why does a repair cost almost as much as a new one?

Apple Home Collection cameras, doorbell, smart lock, and thermostats launched at Apple Welcome Home event

Apple is finally taking the smart home segment more seriously with its latest Home Collection. The company now has a compelling lineup of cameras, doorbells, locks, and thermostats that look right at home alongside its other products (HomeView and HomePod mini 2). While not everyone is a fan of the minimalist designs (often calling them too clinical), I do appreciate the clean aesthetics.

Of course, one of the key selling points is the integration, which looks incredibly polished, and there's plenty to appreciate about Apple's privacy-first approach. But Apple being Apple is making sure you pay every penny for it. Developed alongside LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, Apple's new accessories start at $199.95 for an indoor camera and climb to $399.95 for a floodlight camera. Add an outdoor camera, video doorbell, smart lock, and thermostat to the mix, and you're already approaching $1,300 for five basic smart home devices.
