Introducing the New Furbo, First Dog Camera to Integrate AI and Dog Recognition Technology with Launch of Smart Dog Alerts


BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Furbo Dog Camera, the only treat-tossing dog camera designed specifically for dogs, today announced the launch of a new, smarter model ? featuring an upgraded camera and Smart Dog Alerts. As the first AI-powered dog camera, Furbo now uses machine learning and computer vision to detect various dog activities such as chewing, pacing back and forth, or two dogs playing together. Available through the Smart Dog Alerts functionality which notifies users of changes in a dog's behavior in real-time, Furbo will also snap and send a selfie when a dog looks directly at the camera. Unlike other home monitors that send general motion and sound alerts, Furbo's smart alerts only notify users of dog-related events.

"Dog parents who use Furbo Dog Camera already love to see, talk, and toss treats to their dogs when not at home. But most of all, they love to receive real-time alerts so they know everything is okay with their fur-babies while away," said Victor Chang, CEO of Tomofun, the company behind Furbo. "Smart Dog Alerts is a solution to let pup parents know their dog is safe and happy at home. By integrating AI and dog recognition intelligence, Furbo becomes a pet tech pioneer in solving one of the biggest worries for dog parents: having to leave their dogs at home alone."

Furbo's dog recognition technology is powered by AI, so it is always getting smarter through more advanced detections and alerts. Furbo leverages machine learning and its large community of users to continually train and evolve the technology. The more pup parents use Smart Dog Alerts, the more Furbo learns about a dog's patterns and behaviors.

An essential feature of the smarter Furbo, Smart Dog Alerts are delivered via both real-time notifications as well as a daily timeline, which allows users to review a breakdown of the events and behaviors exhibited by a dog throughout the day. The timeline of events is especially beneficial to assisting pup parents in identifying patterns, or irregularities, in a dog's daily activities. Smart Dog Alerts available today include:

In addition to the launch of AI capabilities and a suite of Smart Dog Alerts, Furbo now comes equipped with 1080p HD camera with 4x zoom, 160-degree wide-angle lens, night vision and an increased treat well that will hold more than 100 pieces. As Furbo's dog recognition technology continues to be trained, additional Smart Dog Alerts will roll out in the coming months as part of a premium service.

Furbo Dog Camera is available for purchase at www.Furbo.com.
