Yeah, their camera subscription is ridiculous. I got the 2K Tapo camera with an SD card and a LR camera mount for ~$80. It doesn’t require any yearly fees, has AI pet detection, lets me view the camera in real time, and saves as many videos as I want.

Yep, you can get a decent enough Tapo camera for £30 and the cost of a memory card. I live in a rural area with no pavement, so knock down ginger (as we called it as kids) isn't an issue, but we've got cameras for security because it's dark and there were a spate of burglaries/garage/oil tank thefts

I have multiple non AI cameras and honestly I have no interest in the petlibro AI camera even though I love their products. My TAPO cameras detect if my cats are meowing and they are set up in strategic places so I can keep track of their drinking, eating and litterbox habits. They cost about 20€ to

Practical solutiona) Smart camera connected to alexa - TP Link Tapo camera are banned now but find something similar - app detects activity in perimeter you define - anyone enter and alexa calls you and create loud noise "chor chor chor! pakdo pakdo!" b) start feeding stray dogs - put feeding and wa
