Our review
Furbo Mini’s listing title highlights “Core Features, No Ongoing Cost.” Included features are 1080p live view, 4x digital zoom, barking or meowing alerts, two-way audio with in-app volume control, and color night vision, plus adhesive or screw mounting options.
The 130° wide-angle lens targets pet rooms rather than whole-home security. Furbo offers a 14-day trial for advanced AI alerts, video history, and Nanny Chat; those extras are optional beyond the base feature set described on the page.
Buyers like pet-specific alerts and setup, but reviews mention Wi-Fi sensitivity and confusion between subscription-free core features versus paid advanced tiers. It does not toss treats like full-size Furbo models—monitoring and audio are the focus.
