User reviews

Barkio is praised for its ease of use, multi-device support, and practical features that help remotely monitor and interact with pets, especially aiding separation anxiety. However, many users report ongoing connectivity problems with the video feed disconnecting unpredictably and difficulty restoring the connection remotely. Battery drain and usability issues with background monitoring, plus occasional poor customer support, detract from the experience. Noise sensitivity can also be inconsistent, causing frequent false or missed alerts. Despite flaws, many find it worth paying for compared to buying special hardware.

Pros

Allows monitoring and communicating with pets remotely via video and audio.
Easy to set up and user friendly with support for multiple devices.
Offers useful features like activity logs, prerecorded messages, and adjustable notifications.
Provides peace of mind by helping manage pets with separation anxiety.
Affordable premium subscription compared to physical pet cams.

Cons

Frequent connection issues causing video feed to buffer, disconnect, or fail to reconnect reliably.
App drains battery quickly and sometimes stops monitoring when not active or screen is off.
Customer service is slow or unresponsive according to multiple users.
Background monitoring settings are hard to find and require multiple steps to toggle.
Sensitivity settings for noise detection can be imprecise, leading to false notifications or missed barks.

I was dog sitting for some friends and they originally had some cameras set up to see be able to see their babies but the cameras disconnected while they were gone. Luckily I googled and found Barkio! I happened to have some old phones laying around so I used them for this and we all love it! You can watch the front and back cam, zoom, talk to your babies, AND pair multiple devices!!! Now I can see their babies when I'm gone but so can they! 🥰 10/10 for me!
