The new models bring two extended wide-angle lenses that allow for 180-degree full-room views, improved connectivity with 5GHz Wi-Fi support, a 4-microphone array, and Alexa built-in. > Both cameras in the Bites and Play have 1080p HD video, 4x digital zoom, and night vision. Pets can also initiate two-way “video calls,” which are triggered when a pet sits in front of the camera. Owners will then receive a push notification asking if they want to accept a video call from their pet (always, of course). Clips can then be saved to the phone, shared online, or stored on the Petcube App for iOS or Android. The company offers an optional Petcube Care cloud storage service that users can pay from $3 to $10 a month for up to 10 days of video history. The $10 plan comes with Smart alerts, which uses AI to distinguish between cats, dogs, and people, and offers audio recognition of barking and meowing to notify owners of potentially dangerous events.
