Questions, answered
Can a camera help with separation anxiety?
It helps you monitor, and two-way talk plus treat tossing can soothe mild anxiety. Severe separation anxiety needs a behavior plan with a trainer; a camera alone does not resolve it.
How accurate are barking alerts?
The Furbo's Nanny service specifically identifies dog barks versus other sounds. Generic cameras trigger on any loud noise, which produces far more false alerts.
Should the camera record continuously?
Event-based recording on motion or sound saves storage and makes review practical. Continuous recording fills storage fast and rarely gets watched.
Where should I place a dog camera?
At the dog's eye level in the room where the dog spends most alone time, with a clear view of the bed or crate area and the main entrance the dog watches.
