Description
The hardest part of keeping an animal is not the feeding. It is the four hours between leaving the house and getting home, when you have no idea whether the bowl is empty, whether the cat has knocked the water over, or whether the dog has started eating the couch instead. A feeder with a camera answers all three questions from a phone, and that is the entire point of owning one.
This unit pairs a stainless steel bowl with a 1080P camera and two-way audio over dual-band WiFi, controlled through the Tuya app. Feeding plans run to 12 meals a day at up to 99 portions per meal, with each portion landing between 5 and 7 grams. The 2L and 4L hoppers cover a single cat for roughly a fortnight or a mid-size dog for about a week, and a low-battery alert tells you before the mechanism stops rather than after.
The bowl is the least interesting part. Knowing what happened at the bowl is what you are actually buying.

When This Pays For Itself
The clearest case is the household where someone is out for ten or twelve hours. Two scheduled meals in that window remove the scramble entirely, and the camera turns the anxiety of not knowing into a thirty-second check. Owners who travel for work, nurses on rotating shifts and anyone with a cat that eats too fast all end up in the same place: a plan that runs whether or not you are home.
It also solves a problem that has nothing to do with absence. A cat that vomits after eating will do better on four small meals instead of two large ones, and the feeder delivers that without a human standing there at 3pm. For a multi-pet household, the camera is the part that tells you which animal is actually eating, which is often the only way to notice a problem early.
Setup takes one install and one app pairing. Because the hopper is a sealed container rather than an open bowl, dry food stays crisp for longer, and the stainless bowl lifts out for a wash without dismantling the unit. The 2L model suits a single cat; choose the 4L if you have a dog or more than one animal on the plan.
Practical Questions
Q: Does it work if my WiFi drops?
Feeding plans are stored locally on the device, so a scheduled meal still dispenses if the network drops. You lose the camera and the app controls until the connection returns, but you do not lose the feeding.
Q: Will it take 5G WiFi?
Yes. The unit connects to both 5G and 2.4G networks through the Tuya app, which removes the usual problem of a feeder that only accepts the older band.
Q: How long does the 4L hopper last?
A single cat eating 60 grams a day will get roughly five to six weeks from the 4L hopper. A mid-size dog will get closer to a week. The 2L suits a single cat for a fortnight.
Q: What happens if a portion jams?
The portion tolerance is 5 to 7 grams plus or minus 2, which is wide enough to pass normal kibble without jamming. Very large or irregular treats are the usual cause of trouble, so keep to standard dry food.
Q: Can I talk to my pet through it?
Yes. Two-way audio is built in, so you can speak through the speaker and hear the room back through the microphone.
Q: Is the bowl dishwasher safe?
The stainless bowl lifts out and is safe to hand wash. Wash it weekly to keep oils from building up on the surface, which is what causes cats to start refusing a bowl.
Q: How does it charge?
It charges over USB Type-C with a 110 to 240V adapter, so the same unit works in the US, the UK and the EU without a voltage converter.
Q: Does the camera need a subscription?
No. The camera streams to the Tuya app without a paid plan. If you want recordings kept over time you will want a separate storage option, but live viewing is included.
