WOPET Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera,7L App Control Smart Feeder Cat Dog Food Dispenser,6-Meal Auto Pet Feeder with Timer Programmable,HD Camera for Voice and Video Recording

I LOVE this feeder & recommend it for more reasons than I have time to write about!! I have 2 finicky felines & due to weight issues, I needed to change from a bowl of food 24/7 to scheduled feedings, but that can be difficult when you don’t have a regular schedule or may be gone for a day or 2. This feeder madd the change easier than I ever imagined!! I never worry about being home or going home to feed my kitties, and if - no! - when one gets hungry early, or late, I no longer have to get out of bed to feed. I just grab my phone, hit a few keys, and - ta-da! - my cats have food & I get sleep! The app works great and is easy to use. Setting up or changing the feeding schedule and/or the amount of food I feed is easy & takes only minutes. I can feed them from my bed, the beach, or automatically! When they hear the feeder, which is NOT a loud, obnoxious noise but more of a quick hum, my kitties jump up and run!! Like another person posted, it’s pretty funny how they go from snoring to flying out of bed in a split second! An added bonus is the camera which is so good that I can see all the way down the hall & into the other rooms!! I teasingly, but could also seriously, call it a built-in spy camera. You can take HD pictures or videos as well as listen to or talk to your pets. I can’t say enough good things about this feeder!!

I bought this because I have 3 cats and apparently I've been over feeding. Took my cats to the vet and they are over weight, so he asked me to measure and focus on portion control. I used to use one of the 1/2 gallon like jugs that just hang upside down, and my cats were eating all the time whenever they wanted. I'm gone a lot, vets not happy, and I want my cats to be healthy. So I started searching and doing my homework.This feeder is working great for me and my fur babies! It has many ways of controlling the portion. You can set the exact amount of grams to be fed, 6 times daily. So on the app you choose how much you want it to dispense, title of feeding (ex. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack), and you can add a pre-recorded personalized voice message to play when it dispenses their meals.You can choose different recordings for each individual feeding time, or use the same recording for all feedings. I'm only using the one recording I made (ex. Nola, Oreo, Casper, it's time to eat! HERE KITTY KITTY KITTY! It plays the recording 3 times in a row while dispensing the food. Which is nice because if they don't hear it the first time, they definitely do by the third making sure they don't miss a meal.Within the first few days they became trained to the feeder. They can be in REM sleep, hear the recording, then immediately jump up to run and eat! It's actually really funny!The app sends a notification to your phone for every feeding, which prompts me to go in app and check the camera, to make sure all 3 are getting to eat. I can also hear them to make sure they aren't growling at each other, which thank goodness they eat together fine. But if they didn't you can also talk to them in real time from the app.I really like how the app is set up so you can see the camera on the top half of the screen, and the bottom of half you can choose to take a photo, record, listen, or talk. Or you can click the full screen to enlarge the full picture.The only thing I really think could have used improvement is the camera angle seems a bit high, for when they have their heads up close and in the bowl. I can only see the top of their heads. However, I don't know though, because if it were lower it would be too close and if it were higher you wouldn't see them at all. Because when they aren't face down in the bowl I can see them just fine. As a matter of fact I think it has a wide lens because I can see my entire kitchen! Which is a pretty neat bonus feature. I have found the app to be very easy to understand, operate and navigate. It does freeze when in camera view sometimes when I forget to close out the app after using, and leave inactive for too long. But it's easy to close and re-open the app.Overall I have found this to not only meet the needs of fine tuned portion control, but also many other neat features that have made feeding my cats so convenient and most of all FUN! Not only am I feeding them more responsibly to prevent over feeding, but I'm actually enjoying being able to interact with them when I'm not home, checking to make sure they are okay. And it holds alot of food so it's never a chore to feed. I really like this and now that I'm utilizing all of these fun and needed features, I could never go back to my jug feeder. This records every feeding, time, amount fed in grams etc. and stores it in the app. Now I can take this to the vet in a few more weeks to make sure that everything is right for my cats diet, and then he can give me accurate feedback. I hope this helps those who are needing a solution like I did. This would also be great for anyone like me who isn't home a lot or maybe has an unexpected hospital stay, or even use if you have a vacation to go on. This is also nice for those times you can't find a pet sitter on short notice. You can feed, see, talk to, and interact with your fur baby. Holds a lot of food for days when you can't be home which can reduce anxiety in emergency situations. Make sure to place batteries in the compartment in case of power outage. Because if the power goes out while your gone, the feeder will still work as long as you've put the batteries in it. I personally feel this is a great addition to any home with pets for a variety of reasons and therefore would highly recommend!

I have used this for 2 weeks now and so far its pretty good. I recorded my voice on the app for it to play during feed. My cats does respond to my voice recording. It only plays if you set a scheduled feed. If you do manual feed, the food just come out. I have two feral cats and I place the feeder outside next to some crate boxes to block the sun shining directly to it. I am not sure how is it going to work in the rain even with covered patio. This product is not meant to use it outside. I like the tight seal top which conceals the food pretty well.The camera shows very clear images when I use it at home. Overall the app responds pretty well when I open the app at home. However, it does lag a little when I view it outside of home. The manual feed does work.I wish there is an improvement on the camera so we can tell if the cat ate all the food. I use a separate camera looking at the feeder for that purpose. Also if camera can record on default at scheduled feed that would be great.I like that the food tray is easily removable so I can wash it daily. Another automatic feeder I purchased but returned because there were many screws to hold the tray which makes it very difficult to remove the tray.I tried many times but Alexa would not work with the app. I even changed the feeder name to "Jack" like the manual says. It would be nice if I can voice control Alexa to feed the cats.Question To the seller: I noticed at night, there is a light inside the feeder that keeps sparkling. I am sure it sparks too during the day but we just couldn't see it. Is this normal? I would like to know since I have only have it for two weeks and I can still exchange for a different one. Thanks.
