Which should you choose?
Choose Furbo if dog-specific monitoring and rotating room coverage justify a recurring plan in your household. Choose Petcube Bites 2 Lite if the treat mechanism is the priority and you prefer core camera functions without a required annual service.
Neither reviewed record documents local storage. If local recording matters, compare an ordinary indoor camera instead.
