Enabot EBO ROLA Mini Pet Camera Robot: 2K FamilyBot Mobile Home Companion

I used this pet camera robot for my cat and ended up returning it, but I still think it’s a very fun and clever product for the right situation. The best part is how interactive it is. You can control it from your phone, set different movement routes (like spinning in circles or moving in a snake pattern), and it even has different sounds to get your pet’s attention. My cat was very curious about it, and when it gets knocked over, it can stand itself back up, which is perfect for playful or naughty cats. The video quality is very clear, and the sound is also surprisingly good. You can hear and talk through the app clearly, so it feels like you’re really there with your pet. It’s also a nice option if you want to check in on someone at home, like a partner who is home alone, and say hi or make sure everything is okay. For me personally, I realized that when I’m at home, I don’t really need it, so it wasn’t worth keeping. However, if you travel or are away from home a lot (for example, when I’m back in my home country and want to check on my place and my cat in Canada), this device becomes much more valuable. Overall, it’s a fun, well-designed pet robot, but it makes the most sense if you often need to monitor and interact with your pet remotely.

I know a lot of people buy this to check in on their pets but we didn’t buy this for pets at all—our intention from the start was to use it as a way for our son to stay connected to home. We got it right before Christmas, around the time our 18-year-old left for Air Force tech school. After basic, he was really feeling homesick, and this has honestly been such a meaningful way for him to reconnect. He has the app on his phone, and whenever he needs it, he logs in and “walks” through the house. He’ll roll into his dad’s office, talk with his siblings, and just be part of everyday life again for a little while. It’s been both comforting for him and really special for us. The quality has exceeded expectations. The audio is clear and loud, and the video is sharp and detailed. Movement is smooth and responsive, and while it can move quickly, you can easily adjust the speed in the app. It’s lightweight but feels sturdy. If it bumps into something and tips over, it’s easy to set back upright and keeps going without any problems. I’ve only experienced lag once, and that was due to my own internet issues. The app shows your connection status, which is helpful. Even when ours was listed as “fair,” as you can see in the video I took it still performed well. There are also some fun features like sounds and motion options. Our son likes to randomly play things like cat meows or wolf howls, which has become his way of letting us know he’s logged in. As for pets, we have two and one was curious while the other wanted nothing to do with it. But I can absolutely see how it would work well for checking in on animals. For our family, though, this has been so much more than I expected. It’s given our son a way to come home, even when he’s far away. Sometimes just a few minutes of roaming and talking is all he needs to feel better. This is a purchase I will never regret. And I would honestly recommend it to everyone! I looked at several and was very nervous that the quality wouldn’t be great. But it is, and this sturdy little thing has been a blessing for us.

Funciona genial ya por 1 año. Muy linda y muy práctica. Sirve tanto para monitorear y visitar tus mascotas mientras no estas, como para joder a tu pareja con un aullido repentino 😂

Muy resistente

I honestly wasn’t sure if I needed a robot camera, but after seeing what ROLA could do, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did. My 2-year-old Chihuahua, Skylar, is usually home alone while I’m at work. She’s a pretty laid-back pup and sleeps most of the day, but as any dog parent knows, you still worry about them and wonder what they’re up to when you’re away. I also wanted to find a way to encourage her to move around a little more on the days she’s not at daycare. Before using ROLA while I was away, I spent some time introducing it to Skylar at home so she could get comfortable with it. I didn’t want her to be scared of a little robot suddenly rolling around the house! After a few days, she got used to it, and now they peacefully coexist. One of my favorite things to do is open the app during my workday and drive ROLA around the house. Sometimes I’ll have it follow Skylar, and it’s so funny watching her react. When ROLA starts moving, she usually gets up to investigate, follows it around, or simply becomes more active than she otherwise would have been. It’s such a fun and interactive way to check in on her instead of just watching a stationary camera. Beyond the entertainment, it gives me so much peace of mind knowing I can see how she’s doing whenever I’m away for several hours. Being able to virtually “drop in” and interact with her makes the workday feel a little shorter—for both of us. If you’re a pet parent who spends long hours away from home, I’d absolutely recommend ROLA. It’s become one of my favorite pet gadgets—not because it’s flashy, but because it genuinely helps me stay connected with Skylar while giving her a little extra enrichment throughout the day.
