Question 1

I travel frequently and my home has a 2.4GHz network. Will the 5G WiFi work with a standard router?**

Accepted Answer

This feeder supports dual-band Wi-Fi. While the title highlights 5G, it actually connects to 2.4GHz networks, which offers a longer range and better penetration through walls. However, keep in mind that the connection stability depends heavily on your router's distance and walls. If you often have Wi-Fi dead zones in your home, you might experience lag on the camera feed, so setting it up near a strong signal is recommended.

Question 2

My cat is a picky eater, and I'm worried about the plastic bowl affecting her health. Is the bowl safe, and how difficult is it to actually clean the hopper?**

Accepted Answer

The unit comes with a food-grade plastic tray. If you prefer stainless steel for your pet, you can replace this with a standard stainless tray that fits in the base. For cleaning, the hopper and the base separate for maintenance, but the locking tabs can be a bit stiff. We suggest wiping down the hopper weekly with a dry cloth to manage kibble dust, rather than doing a full soapy wash too often, as that can wear the seals.

Question 3

The app allows me to record video, but does it support SD card storage or cloud backup for reviewing footage later?**

Accepted Answer

The 1080P camera is primarily live-view, but it does offer a local recording feature. You can insert a microSD card to time-lapse record feeding sessions. However, there is no cloud backup; the recorded clips stay on the card. If you want a cloud-based history, you would likely be looking at a more expensive pet camera system.

Question 4

Could this feeder handle a large-breed dog while I'm away, or is it better suited for cats and small breeds?**

Accepted Answer

With a 7L capacity, this is an excellent fit for cats or small-to-medium dogs, especially for multi-pet households. However, for large-breed dogs with big appetites, the hopper may need refilling more often, and the plastic auger mechanism is designed for standard size kibble rather than giant breed chunks. If you have a large dog, we recommend feeding several portions per day, but for a weekend trip, this is likely sufficient.

Question 5

If the camera goes offline or there is a power outage, will my pet still get fed?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, the feeding schedule is stored directly in the device. Even if the Wi-Fi drops or the app fails to connect, the feeder will continue dispensing food at the programmed times. This is a key safety feature mentioned by many users, ensuring your pet's meal schedule is not dependent on a stable internet connection.
