 Hey guys, it's Ashley Carman here with The Verge, and today we're checking out a new gadget called Furbo, which is basically like a drop cam for dogs. Except it's way cooler because you get to toss your dog's treats even when you're not home. Go dogs, we're out. So I don't have dogs, but luckily our creative director James Bearham was so nice to let us borrow Georgie and Monty for the day. Even though they're really great stunt dogs, it took a while to get them used to the Furbo. We had to hold the treat behind it to kind of train them that the Furbo was their friend and not just a scary robot sitting in the corner. But once they got used to it, they literally couldn't take their eyes off it. So while Furbo is obviously supposed to be used when you're at work or, you know, away from the house and your dogs are at home alone, it's kind of just fun to sit here and shoot treats at them and see what happens. Although the treat tossing is definitely the coolest thing about the Furbo, it also has a couple other features. One thing it does is it sends you bark alerts. So if you're out and all of a sudden you get a pop-up notification saying your dogs are barking, you can pull up the app, see what's going on. If your neighbors get angry that your dog is barking, you can actually talk to them through the app to make sure that they calm down. Monty, Georgie. Hey guys. So now they're paying attention and I'm going to shoot them a treat. Go dog, we're out. And they're both right there to get it. So as you can see, the Furbo has a really nice design. It doesn't look like any other home security system and I wouldn't be embarrassed to put this in my apartment. Now you probably do want to put it up a little bit high so the dogs don't get to it, but it has a wide angle lens so even if it's up there, you're getting a full view of the room no matter where it is. We did run into a few issues with setting up the Furbo. It only works with 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi, which was a problem in our office, but in an apartment it was totally fine. The app itself is a little bit glitchy, but honestly you kind of don't care because it's so addicting that you're willing to exit and reload it just to make it work. The Furbo's on Indiegogo right now for a $99 pre-order and honestly for $100, this is a pretty good deal. It looks good, it works for the most part, and when I'm bored I can literally just look at dogs and play with them. I don't know what could be better. You ready? Yo dog, what up? Oh yay! Good job! Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye.
