Review on SKYMEE Petalk Camera Dispenser Compatible by Carlos Long

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well.

Pretty reliable at delivering treats and it's good to have interchangeable doors so you can bring treats big or how many small. From the descriptions and reviews I didn't understand how it works so I'll mention it here for those curious. There's a cone-shaped reservoir that you fill with food/treats. When you launch the app's treat, the small spoon rises from the center of the bottom along the inner wall, pushing the treat up and out through the opening in the interchangeable silicone door. From there they fall into the front combustion chamber, where they are thrown to the ground by a spring. In fact, he eats the treat first, which is always in the chamber from the previous cycle. I think he does this because he wants the treat always ready to fall to the ground safely and quickly. I think he has a senor to know the treat is in the chamber because sometimes he cycles multiple times to make sure the treat was successfully raised and lowered into the chamber. The camera and app work reasonably well and the night vision is impressive. I think it still looks great and has nice smooth video when using the "smooth" mode. For me, the "HD" and "SD" modes are too slow and freeze, and I don't notice much improvement in picture quality. I haven't used motion detection yet, so I won't comment on it. The app has a firmware update tool that I was able to get a new update for.

Pros
  • 2-way system for sound and motion detection
Cons
  • unreliable
