The best way to keep in contact with your cat when you are away from home is the Wopet Smart Pet Camera. With this device, you can feed your cat his/her favorite treats, also watch him/her on video streaming, talk and listen to your feline friend. Your cat will recognize your voice and will feel accompanied. For example, my cat Sophie gets a little anxious when she is alone for too long so this is a great way to be in contact with her.
Wopet contacted me and provided me with this unit for me to review. So this is my experience feeding my cat treats with this device.

How the Wopet Smart Pet Camera works
Wopet Smart Pet Camera connects to your Wifi network so you can manage all the functions of this device through the “Wopet Smart” App. You can feed your cat treats and watch your feline on video streaming while you are away from home. You can take pictures of it, record videos, and speak and listen to your cat. Your kitty won’t feel alone, because you can interact with him or her daily anytime, from anywhere.
The camera treats dispenser features the HD camera on the top front, the indicator light, the microphone, the “SET” button, and below is the treat popper. The “SET” button has 3 different functions; you press it to bind the unit with your WiFi network; it allows you to reset the unit to factory (if you press it for 5 seconds); and if you short press it does a manual treat feeding.

How to clean it

What I like about the Wopet Smart Pet Camera
- The unit is high-quality hard ABS plastic
- The lid is airtight, keeping the treat fresh longer
- Very easy to connect to WiFi
- The App is simple to use
- The camera is HD and with night vision function.
- The camera screen can be set vertically or full screen
- 2-way audio so you can talk to your can and listen to the sounds on the other end.
- Cat-proof: the 4 rubber feet at the bottom of the unit are the suction type so they keep the treat feeder very stable on a smooth surface, your cat won’t be able to knock it over. The airtight lid can’t be opened by a cat either.
- On the back of the unit, two openings allow you to hang it on a wall.
- You can share your cat’s pictures or videos using your social media.
- Suitable for a single cat since the number of treats that this unit dispenses is about 3-6 at the most. (Unlike the Cengcen Pet Camera that tosses about 10, which is more suitable for 2 cats).
What I am not a fan of
- Occasionally a treat doesn’t get dispensed and sits in the treat’s popper opening (not a big deal because if your cat sees it, it will get it with its paws).
- Some features are not available yet, such as the list of treat feeding events and the bark detector (I don’t mind this, because I feed my cat two times per day so I don’t need a list of these events, and my cat doesn’t bark lol)
My final thoughts
The Wopet Smart Pet Camera works well because it doesn’t dispense too many treats, just enough for a cat or two cats. The camera has a good definition as well as pictures and videos. The connection with the 2.4GHZ couldn’t be easier, I didn’t find any issue while doing this. As for the signal, the re-connection when you open the App is much faster than other treat dispenses, according to my experience with this unit, it takes a second if not less to appear as “online”. The battery backup ensures continuous operation in case of a power outage occurs. The App is easy to navigate too. What I like the most is the night vision camera so you can make videos of your cat at night.
My bottom line
I definitely recommend this treat camera dispenser for one or two cats, especially for mischievous cats because the lid is airtight and impossible to be opened by a cat. Not only that, the suction cups at the bottom of the unit make it impossible to be tipped over by your cats, it’s hard even for me to lift it off the surfaces. Get Wopet Smart Pet Camera on Amazon here and keep an eye on your cats at all times, providing them with delicious treats.
