Aim at the resting zone
Start with the bed, crate area, or room where the dog actually settles rather than the doorway. Rotation expands coverage but cannot see through furniture or follow a pet into another room.
Use a stable, open surface
Leave clearance around the rotating base, keep the power cable secure, and place the unit where the dog cannot easily knock it down or pull it by the cord. Treats also need a safe landing area.
Measure signal at the final location
Furbo uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for setup and operation. Test live view, audio, alerts, rotation, and reconnection from the intended shelf instead of pairing beside the router and moving it later without verification.
Recheck privacy at camera height
A higher camera can capture more of the room and adjacent spaces. Review microphone, household access, cloud features, and what visitors can see before making the position permanent.
