Furbo's Product Lineup Explained
This guide contains affiliate links — see our disclosure. Read our review methodology.
Quick answer: Furbo 360° (~$99-145) is the full-featured model with 2K video and rotating auto-tracking coverage. Furbo Mini (~$30-99) is not a scaled-down 360 — it has a fixed field of view and no color night vision, a genuinely different product for smaller spaces, not a compromise version. The Furbo Cat Camera (~$99-119) shares core hardware with the 360 but has cat-tuned acoustic detection (meowing/yowling instead of bark alerts). Furbo's "Lifetime Warranty" is tied to staying subscribed to Furbo Nanny, not to owning the device — a real, documented catch worth knowing regardless of which model you buy.
Verified 2026-08-31: added Furbo Cat Camera’s price and full spec details, which were missing from the original version. Also added a verified detail about Furbo’s detection architecture (cloud-based, not on-device) sourced from the parent company’s own public description of its cloud inference setup. Verified 2026-09-01: added a real, documented detail about Furbo’s Lifetime Warranty being tied to an active Furbo Nanny subscription, sourced from Furbo’s own help center.
We’ve had to correct a naming mix-up on this site before (see the “Verified” note on our pet camera guide) precisely because Furbo’s lineup is easy to conflate — “Mini” isn’t a smaller version of the same camera, it’s a different product with different capabilities. It’s the kind of mistake worth disclosing rather than quietly fixing — see our explainer on how review sites actually source recommendations for why we think that transparency matters more than looking error-free.
Furbo 360°: the full-featured model
The Furbo 360° Dog Camera is the one referenced in our Furbo vs. Petcube comparison: 2K video, 360° rotating auto-tracking coverage, color night vision, and roughly $99–145 depending on sales. This is the model to buy if you want the rotating coverage and are comparing it against Petcube’s fixed-view design.
Furbo Mini 360°: a genuinely smaller, cheaper product
The Furbo Mini is not a scaled-down Furbo 360 — it has a fixed field of view (no rotation despite “360°” appearing in some naming), lacks color night vision, and is designed for smaller spaces at a meaningfully lower price (roughly $30–99, often on sale at the low end of that range). If your space is small enough that a fixed view already covers where your pet spends time, the Mini is a legitimate budget pick, not a compromise version of the full model — but don’t expect it to match the 360’s coverage or night-vision quality.
Furbo 360° Cat Camera: same core hardware, cat-tuned software
Furbo also sells a dedicated Cat Camera variant — built on similar core hardware to the dog-focused 360° model (1080p, 360° rotation, 4x zoom, color night vision, treat tossing), but with detection tuned for cat behavior specifically: an acoustic model trained on meowing, yowling, and distress-call pitches rather than the bark-focused alerts on the standard model, plus physical attachment points for interactive feather-wand accessories that the dog models don’t have. It runs roughly the same price tier as the standard 360° (~$99–119, frequently discounted well below that during sales), and like the dog version comes in both a no-subscription hardware-only listing and a subscription-gated listing that unlocks AI alerts and video history — check which listing you’re looking at before comparing prices, for the same reason called out below.
Why this matters when comparing prices
If you see wildly different Furbo prices while researching, check which specific model is being quoted before assuming one review or listing is wrong — a $30 Furbo Mini sale price and a $145 Furbo 360 regular price are both accurate, just for different products entirely.
What “AI-powered” actually means on these models
Furbo’s pet-behavior detection (bark/meow alerts, person/package recognition) runs via cloud-based processing rather than entirely on the camera itself — Furbo’s parent company has publicly described routing camera image streams to cloud inference infrastructure for this analysis. This is worth knowing specifically because it means detection depends on your internet connection staying up, unlike a camera with fully on-device AI processing — see our explainer on AI-powered camera architectures for the fuller comparison.
Bottom line
- Want the rotating 360° coverage and color night vision: Furbo 360°.
- Small space, tighter budget, fixed view is fine: Furbo Mini.
- Cat household specifically: the Cat Camera variant, for meowing-tuned alerts.
One thing worth knowing regardless of which model you choose: Furbo’s “Lifetime Warranty” on the camera hardware is tied to staying subscribed to Furbo Nanny, not to owning the device — see our explainer on lifetime warranty claims for the documented specifics.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Furbo Mini just a smaller, cheaper version of the Furbo 360?
No — despite the name, it's a genuinely different product, not a scaled-down 360. The Mini has a fixed field of view (no rotation, despite "360°" appearing in some naming) and lacks color night vision, priced meaningfully lower (roughly $30-99) for smaller spaces. If your space is small enough that a fixed view already covers where your pet spends time, it's a legitimate budget pick — just don't expect it to match the 360's coverage or night-vision quality.
What's different about the Furbo Cat Camera besides the name?
It's built on similar core hardware to the dog-focused 360° model (1080p, 360° rotation, 4x zoom, color night vision, treat tossing), but with detection tuned specifically for cat behavior: an acoustic model trained on meowing, yowling, and distress-call pitches rather than bark-focused alerts, plus physical attachment points for interactive feather-wand accessories the dog models don't have.
Does Furbo's 'Lifetime Warranty' actually cover the camera for life?
Only while you stay subscribed to Furbo Nanny — this is a real, documented catch sourced from Furbo's own help center, not a rumor. Cancel the subscription and the warranty coverage ends, regardless of how long you've owned the camera. Worth knowing before assuming "lifetime" means what it sounds like on any Furbo model.
Why does Furbo's AI detection stop working if my internet goes down?
Because the pet-behavior detection (bark/meow alerts, person/package recognition) runs via cloud-based processing rather than entirely on the camera itself — Furbo's parent company has publicly described routing camera image streams to cloud inference infrastructure for this analysis. This means detection depends on your internet connection staying up, unlike a camera with fully on-device AI processing.
