Pawbo, now a
wholly owned subsidiary of Acer, today announced the
release of the new Pawbo+
interactive wireless pet camera with treat dispensing and laser
pointing capabilities. The new product is an extension of
Acer’s
BeingWare™
initiative, as an integrated hardware, software, and service solution, and exemplifies
the Acer Group’s mission to break barriers between people and technology.
No More Lonely Pets
Pawbo+ is designed for pet owners
that have to leave their cats or small dogs
at home alone throughout the day.
Its internet-enabled wide-angle camera (130-degrees) and speaker/microphone
combo let users check in on their pets visually and talk to them to provide
comfort from afar. Such daily interactions can help to reduce pet anxiety caused
by prolonged durations of being alone. With privacy in mind, the camera is
designed to point slightly downward so that it only captures what pets are
doing, while all communication is encrypted for added peace of mind.
A Fun and Interactive Experience
Using
an iOS or Android device to view one’s pet remotely is just the first step.
Pawbo+ also includes a collection
of unique features that make viewing sessions playful and fun. Users can log in
and serve up a tasty treat stored in Pawbo+’s built-in storage tray. Multiple ringtone notifications and treats
help train pets to respond and encourage pets’ good
behaviors. Pawbo+
has an integrated laser pointer
that can be activated remotely to give owners a fun way to interact with their
pets and keep them active.
Smart Design and Sharing
Designed
for the modern lifestyle, Pawbo+
features an organic oval shape profile that sits stylishly in any corner of the
home. Up to 8 concurrent users can log in to view Pawbo+ live streams,
and the device can also be integrated with Dropbox and Google
Drive so users can save their precious videos on the
cloud easily. The Pawbo+
app also allows seamless photo sharing on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
The More the Merrier
Pet
owners can expand the capabilities of Pawbo+ with 4 soon-to-be available accessories,
including Pawbo Flash (artificial lighting for camera), Pawbo Munch (additional
treat dispenser), Pawbo Catch (cat teaser), and Pawbo Punch (whac-a-mole game).
Pricing and Availability
Pawbo+ will be available for online pre-order on Sep 1st for customers
in the United States, Germany, Italy, Japan, and
Taiwan at USD$169 with free shipping[1].
Exact
specifications, prices and availability of the device will vary by region. To

The Pawbo+
