If you ever wish to hire a babysitter for your pet, the Petlibro Scout Smart Camera might be the next best thing. This is a full-time AI-powered companion that knows your pet by name, keeps tabs on their habits, and even sends you daily report cards.
Scout blends real-time monitoring with intelligent analysis. It can recognize up to five pets, track their routines, and send updates that actually mean something. The more you use it, the smarter it gets, learning your pet’s quirks and improving its accuracy with your feedback.
Most cameras see a blur of fur and can’t tell your pets apart. Scout uses advanced recognition to spot each pet individually, even if they look almost identical. The AI-powered camera logs who ate, who drank, and even who visited the litter box.

When your pet strolls up to the camera, Scout takes a selfie and sends it straight to your phone. Over time, you will get a gallery of candid shots you didn’t have to lift a finger to take.
Unlike traditional pet cams, it uses dynamic AI to distinguish between pets, even if they look similar.
Scout comes with Tobi, a built-in AI assistant designed for pet care. You can ask Tobi questions about your pet’s needs, from feeding schedules to behavior tips, and get clear, practical answers.
Tobi also helps manage the camera itself. Need night vision turned on, or the privacy cover closed? Just ask. The idea is to make pet monitoring less about fiddling with settings and more about staying connected.

However, Scout’s hardware is just as smart as its software. You get 1080p HD video with a full 360° pan-and-tilt view, plus color night vision for late-night check-ins. Motion tracking means Scout follows your pet’s movements so you never miss a thing.
Monitoring doesn’t have to mean feeling watched yourself. Scout includes a manual privacy cover you can close whenever you want, for complete peace of mind.
Compared to the Furbo 360, Scout skips the treat-tossing gimmick in favor of real insights. Furbo charges $70 a year for barking alerts and other features Scout offers without the same paywall.
The Eufy Indoor Cam is a budget-friendly option with local storage, but it doesn’t have the AI that makes Scout so smart. You will get video, sure, but not the detailed breakdown of habits and behaviors.
Google Nest Cam doubles as a home security camera, yet it doesn’t provide pet-specific analytics. Scout is built from the ground up with pets in mind, not as an afterthought.
Scout is a one-time purchase of $99.99. Subscriptions for advanced AI features range from $12 to $17 a month. Even without the extra plan, Scout offers plenty of functionality that makes it worth the price.
