With acquisition of Pawbo Acer brings its BeingWare vision to the petcare market. 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 anextension ofAcer’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 forpet ownersthat
have to leave their cats or small dogs
at homealone 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 pointerthat
can be activated remotely to give owners a fun way to interact with their pets
and keep them active.

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 into view Pawbo+live streams,
