Cat feeders · Choose by your needs
If you mainly want to view the feeding area remotely, Catit PIXI Vision 43753 and PETKIT YumShare Solo 2 P572 combine app schedules with cameras; both are dry-food models. A camera can show activity, but it does not by itself stop another cat reaching the bowl.
Comparison updated 29 October 2026.
| Model | Model | View and schedule | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catit PIXI Vision Smart Feeder 43753 | Catit PIXI Vision 43753 | Camera, night vision, two-way audio; up to twelve meals | 2.4 and 5 GHz; separate microSD for automatic recording |
| PETKIT YumShare Solo 2 P572 camera feeder | PETKIT YumShare Solo 2 P572 | Camera/activity records with ten daily schedule events | Dual-band; video stops on battery backup |
Choose it when: Its exact 43753 listing and manual document a camera, app schedules and dual-band Wi-Fi, which is useful if remote viewing and flexible network bands matter together.
The limit: Automatic recording needs a separately supplied microSD card; battery backup for feeding does not establish continued video access. This is the dry-food Vision model, not the separate 43754 wet-food tray.
Choose it when: The exact P572 sources describe app schedules and camera activity records, so it provides a clear single-bowl observation option across both Wi-Fi bands.
The limit: Its camera records activity rather than protecting food from another pet. The model's documented backup preserves meals but turns the camera off; don't carry a neighboring PETKIT model's limits over to P572.
A standard feeder camera can help you watch the bowl, but it does not identify a particular cat or close the food entrance for an unrecognized animal. For that distinct job, the Granary 2 X PLAF305 uses photo-based visual recognition to control its lid, and its collar-tag and microchip alternatives use different readers. Choose the recognition method only when it actually needs to control access.
A camera-view feeder may preserve its stored schedule during an outage, but that does not establish that live video continues. PETKIT P592 explicitly turns off its camera on emergency cells; for other models, verify camera operation separately if you need live viewing during a power cut.
Not by itself. A camera shows the feeding area; selective access requires a separate documented mechanism that controls entry. Even recognition systems need exact setup and supervised checking and cannot guarantee that another pet never follows the authorized cat.
