Germany
Sells "no subscription trap" as a feature, and it is one
PetTec is a German brand selling pet cameras against a market dominated by subscription models.
The subscription position is the product. The Cam Lite listing says, in capitals, that there is no subscription trap. In a family where recording, history and detection normally sit behind a plan, that sentence is the difference between two five-year costs — and it is why a 3 MP camera earns a place next to a Furbo.
The combination machine is a genuine trade, not a gimmick. A camera built into a feeder saves a plug and a shelf, and it fails as a pair: the camera is most useful precisely when the feeding has gone wrong. Our review says both things.
The listings are thin on numbers, like most of this family. Dimensions and sensor resolution are published; field of view and treat sizes are not.
Both cameras are listed on five markets. The US store was missing on both when we checked.
360° camera · automatic feeder · treat tossing · app
A 360° camera built into an automatic feeder: it dispenses meals on a schedule and throws treats on demand, all through one app.
Best for: A one-machine household: a dog fed on a schedule that you also want to watch.
3 MP · 5 × 7.5 × 8 cm (2 × 3 × 3.1 in) · push notifications · no subscription
A small 3-megapixel camera measuring 5 × 7.5 × 8 cm (2 × 3 × 3.1 in), with push notifications and — stated on the listing — no subscription trap.
Best for: Anyone who wants to see the animal and nothing more — and does not want a monthly bill for it.
