PetLibro has launched the Scout Smart Camera, an AI-powered device designed to monitor pets and provide owners with real-time insights into their activities. The camera uses AI to distinguish between multiple pets, track behaviours like eating and drinking, and even send 'selfies' to the owner's phone. It delivers daily summaries and highlight reels through the PetLibro app.
The Scout Smart Camera features a 360° HD view, colour night vision, and two-way audio for clear video and live interaction. An AI assistant, 'Tobi', can text daily summaries, answer pet care questions, and adjust camera settings. The camera's AI is designed to improve over time. Priced at $99.99, the Scout aims to offer tech-forward, insight-driven pet care. Subscription plans for accessing the AI features are available at $12 per month for the standard tier and $17 per month for the premium tier.
PetLibro's entry into the pet camera market reflects a growing trend towards AI-enhanced pet monitoring. The global pet monitoring camera market is experiencing substantial growth, driven by increasing pet ownership and a desire for pet safety. While the Scout currently lacks bark detection, PetLibro plans to add this feature and integrate AI capabilities with its feeders and fountains.
