8L Smart Pet Feeder with Camera (1080p HD, Night Vision, 2-Way Audio) – 5GHz WiFi App Control
Product description
What it is and why it’s useful
This 8L Smart Pet Feeder with Camera is designed for cat owners who want feeding to be consistent, even when life gets busy. The basic idea is simple: a dual-bowl automatic feeder stores dry food in an 8L tank, then dispenses it on a schedule. Where it gets more “smart” is that you also get a built-in camera and app control, so you can check in remotely and set feeding plans.
On paper, it ticks a few boxes that matter for real households: multiple-pet feeding (dual bowls with independent dispensing), remote scheduling via WiFi (it supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz), and day-and-night monitoring thanks to infrared night vision. If you’re looking for something that helps keep a routine while you’re out (workdays, errands, longer trips), this feeder focuses heavily on those use cases.
That said, it’s not a magic solution for every situation. If you only need a basic timed feeder, the camera and connectivity may feel like unnecessary complexity. Also, the app’s cloud storage feature is described as optional, so you’ll want to understand what’s needed for the functions you care about.
Key features you’ll actually use day to day
The standout features are the ones you’d use repeatedly: remote control, scheduled meals, and the ability to check what’s going on.
The feeder includes a 2MP 1080p HD camera with a 160° wide-angle lens and infrared night vision. That’s aimed at helping you see your cats in real-time through the app and review video playback to understand feeding habits or spot potential issues.
For scheduling, the app lets you set custom feeding plans. It supports up to 15 meals daily, with each meal dispensing 1–12 portions (approx. 6–20g per portion, as stated). In practice, that means you can tweak the routine rather than relying on one fixed cycle.
If you have more than one cat, the dual bowls are meant to reduce competition. The feeder uses dual, independently dispensing compartments, so both pets can be fed without one needing to “wait their turn”. The transparent tank also makes it easier to spot when food is getting low.
One more detail that’s easy to overlook until you need it: there’s a dual power supply. It uses a main 5V/2A adapter and also includes 3 x AA batteries (not included) for automatic activation during power outages, plus a built-in memory function to preserve settings.
Smart app control, sharing, and alerts (and a limitation to note)
App control is a big part of the appeal here. You connect the feeder to WiFi (2.4GHz/5GHz) for remote feeding and adjustments “on-the-go”. The app also includes feeding history logs and real-time alerts, which can be useful if you want to confirm it ran as expected.
There’s also an access and sharing angle: you can share control with up to 20 family accounts. If you live with others and want everyone to be able to manage feeding schedules, that’s a practical inclusion.
Worth noting: the cloud storage feature in the app is described as an optional service. You do not need to activate or subscribe to this service to use the device’s core functions (remote feeding, feed settings and device sharing). That’s helpful if you’d rather avoid ongoing subscriptions, but it’s still worth checking what you lose (if anything) when cloud storage isn’t enabled.
Camera and two-way audio: comforting, not just “surveillance”
It’s easy for pet cameras to become more about checking than connecting. This feeder adds two-way audio so you can record personalised voice messages (up to 8s) as meal reminders, and you can also talk in real-time via the app.
Combined with the camera, it’s intended to let you see and hear how your cats react when you’re away. For many owners, that’s less about “monitoring” and more about comfort—especially when you’re trying to stop a cat from panicking during your absence.
A micro example: say you’re at work and feeding starts. You open the app, check the live view in low light, and send a short voice message as the meal drops. If one cat tends to hesitate, you can watch whether both bowls are being approached and whether anything looks off.
Capacity, freshness, and cleaning
The storage tank is 8L, and the feeder is designed with an airtight sealed lid and dual automatic desiccant bag to help block moisture and oxidation (to keep kibble crisp). For a dry-food feeder, that matters because stale or damp kibble is the sort of problem that’s hard to notice until it’s already been dispensed.
Cleaning is addressed with removable parts: the storage tank, lid, and stainless steel bowls are washable. The removable tank design is usually the difference between “we’ll clean it properly” and “it’s a hassle, so we’ll put it off”.
One small thing to keep in mind: the desiccant is described as built-in, but the entry doesn’t specify replacement intervals—so if you’re the sort of buyer who wants a clear maintenance schedule, you may need to check details in the product documentation.

Who it suits (and who should look elsewhere)
It’s a good fit if you want scheduled dry-food dispensing for cats in a multi-pet home, and you’d like remote oversight via an app rather than checking on your pets manually. The dual bowls and independent compartments are particularly relevant if one cat tends to get there first.
It makes sense if you’re frequently out, planning trips, or simply want peace of mind that feeding happens on time. The combination of night vision, two-way audio, and real-time alerts is geared towards day-to-night reassurance.
However, you may want to skip it if you only need a basic timed feeder without connectivity. The camera, app sharing, and audio features can be overkill for owners who don’t care about monitoring.
Also, if you’re strongly privacy-sensitive or don’t want any cloud-related elements in the ecosystem, you’ll want to double-check the cloud storage optional service wording and how it affects the app experience in practice.
In the box and setup considerations
The entry mentions power hardware details: it uses a main 5V/2A adapter and 3 x AA batteries (not included). If you’re missing AA batteries, factor that into your setup.
It also notes remote control requires WiFi connection (2.4GHz/5GHz). So before buying, it’s worth considering whether your home WiFi coverage reaches the feeding location reliably—automatic feeders are only as dependable as their connectivity and your app access.
Mini FAQ
Is it only for one cat?
No. It’s designed with dual bowls and separate compartments that dispense independently, so it’s aimed at feeding two cats without competition.
Can I feed remotely when I’m out?
Yes. The feeder supports app control over WiFi (2.4GHz/5GHz) for remote feeding and adjustments to your schedule.
Does it work in the dark?
The camera includes infrared night vision, so you can check pets in low-light conditions.
Are cloud features required to use the feeder?
No. The cloud storage feature is described as optional, and you don’t need to activate or subscribe to it to use core functions like remote feeding, feed settings, and device sharing.
What happens during a power cut?
It has a dual power supply. The main adapter powers it, and 3 x AA batteries (not included) activate automatically during power outages, with a memory function to preserve settings.
Final verdict
Should you buy it? Choose this 8L Smart Pet Feeder with Camera if you want more than timed dispensing: dual-bowl feeding for multi-pet households, a 1080p HD camera with night vision, two-way audio, and app scheduling with feeding history and alerts. It’s especially compelling if you’ll actually use remote check-ins while you’re out.
Skip it if you’re after a straightforward feeder and don’t want WiFi, camera viewing, and app-based management in the mix. And if you’re cautious about any cloud-related behaviour, double-check the optional cloud storage service before you rely on it for your day-to-day routine.
