Automatic Cat Feeder by Frienhund 5G 2K

Why I Decided to Test This Product

As a pet owner with two cats and an unpredictable work schedule, I’ve struggled with maintaining consistent feeding times. My cats would often wake me up at 5 AM demanding breakfast, and when I had to work late or travel, I worried about their feeding schedule. After researching various automatic feeders, I decided to test the Frienhund Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera – attracted by its combination of smart features and affordable price point.

Overall Rating

Scenario 1: The Weekend Trip

Last month, I had to visit family for the weekend. Using the Frienhund app, I scheduled 4 meals per day for my cats at their usual times. The 2K camera allowed me to check on them throughout the weekend, and I could see both cats approaching the feeder when it dispensed food. The night vision feature worked surprisingly well – I could clearly see my black cat eating at 2 AM! The peace of mind was incredible, and I returned home to happy, well-fed cats.

Scenario 2: Busy Workday Management

During particularly hectic workdays, I used the manual feeding feature to give my cats treats while I was in meetings. The two-way audio let me talk to them, and while they seemed confused at first about where my voice was coming from, they eventually got used to it. The motion detection alerts notified me when they were active, which was especially helpful for knowing when they were playing or being unusually quiet.

Scenario 3: Multiple Pet Feeding

I was initially concerned about whether one feeder would work for two cats, but the 7L capacity (approximately 29 cups) proved more than sufficient. The feeder lasted over a week with both cats, and the portion control feature helped ensure neither cat was overeating. The stainless steel bowl is large enough for both cats to eat from simultaneously without crowding.

Connectivity Test

The dual-band WiFi support is a standout feature. I tested both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, and the 5GHz provided noticeably faster video streaming with less lag. However, during initial setup, I had some difficulty connecting to my 5GHz network and had to try twice. Once connected, it remained stable with only one dropout over three weeks of use.

Feeding Accuracy Test

I measured portion consistency by weighing 20 consecutive portions set to the same amount. The variance was minimal – within 2-3 grams for a 15-gram portion. The portion control is precise enough for most dietary management needs.

Battery Backup Test

During a simulated power outage, the feeder maintained its schedule and settings. The camera obviously didn’t function without power, but the feeding schedule was preserved and executed once power was restored.

After three weeks of intensive testing, I can confidently recommend the Frienhund Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera for:

• ✅ Busy professionals with irregular schedules
• ✅ Pet owners who travel frequently
• ✅ Households with multiple pets
• ✅ Those wanting to monitor pets remotely
• ✅ Pet owners needing dietary management

The transition from manual feeding to this automated system has been transformative for my household. My cats have developed more consistent eating habits, and my anxiety about their care while I’m away has significantly decreased. While there are minor issues with the app and the noise level, the overall value at this price point is exceptional.

If you’re looking for a reliable, feature-rich automatic feeder that won’t break the bank, the Frienhund Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera is definitely worth considering. It has genuinely made pet ownership more manageable and enjoyable for me.

Connected Instantly, Cats Love It

I didn’t realize I was getting a used unit, but since it works perfectly and I don’t have time to ship it back, I’m keeping it. Setup was quick, connected to Wi-Fi in seconds, and both bowls dispense evenly. The camera is clear, scheduling meals is simple, and it’s easy to take apart for cleaning. My cats love it, and the voice note feature is an adorable bonus.

Cool gadget.

Bought this gadget for my husky! It works great! I’ve had it for a while now and it works like new. I have it connected to the wall so no issues with battery. Easy set up and not noisy. I like the size. I don’t really need anything big.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Automatic Feeders – Easy to Use and Packed with Features!

I absolutely love these automatic cat feeders. They’re incredibly easy to set up, refill, and clean—everything about them is user-friendly and well-designed. The app is intuitive and makes scheduling feedings a breeze, which has been a game-changer for keeping my cats on a consistent routine.

One of my favorite features is the built-in camera. It’s so nice to be able to check in and see my cats while I’m away, and it adds an extra layer of peace of mind knowing they’re being fed properly.

Overall, these feeders have made daily care so much simpler and more reliable. If you’re looking for a smart, hassle-free way to feed your cats, this is a fantastic option!

Good value for its price! Read the update !

Update:
I would put 3 stars instead of 4!
The feeder doesn’t work properly !
The portion is less than the expected and sometimes it doesn’t even been released on time!
I will give it the last try and if it will keep missing the meals then it will be returned!

This item is fine for its price. Quality is ok , food capacity is good, design is ok. The app is easy to use. Works well but you need to watch the if food portion amount( it’s greater than the regular portion). Last thing about this item, the cam is ok but not perfect. I believe this couldn’t be enough for 2 kittens or cats.
It’s a good value for its price !

Amazing feeder with so many amazing features!

have loved this automatic feeder! I have used it for both my rabbit and my kitten. The setup is very easy through the app and the quality of the video is very high. The app has many helpful features, such as the ai alerts that take a photo when your pet passes by the camera to come to eat. We are able to fit a large amount of food in the feeder and can easily control the amount of food dispensed and frequency through the app. My kitten can be sensitive to loud noises, but is not at all fearful of the noise when the feeder distributes food. I also like that you can modify the design, by placing your pet’s bowl or plate of choice in front of the feeder if you choose. The app has so many features where you can take videos, photos, can hear audio clearly and talk to your pet through the feeder! 10/10

It works

I bought this Automatic cat feeder to help my cat eat slower so she didn’t throw up everyday. And if you switch the flow feeder setting on and off there is no difference because you have to give them at least 2 portions for slow feed to work (my only issue). All other functions work perfectly though and its nice I’m not getting attacked anymore because my cat is hungry. (She play fights) I like being able to control the hours/portions shes fed. I give her the smallest portion every 4-5 hours. The app works perfectly, it makes it easy to set up your pets feeding schedule. You can also connect it to your smart home/Wifi and have Alexa feed your pet. Pretty convenient! Customer service is helpful and responsive. Their info if on the directions in the box so maybe keep that if you have any issues, they will definitely help out

Amazing feeder! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Use for my 3 y/o Male 20 pound Cat. He got blocked & has a special dry food he was prescribed. However this all happened 4 days before our cruise, we ordered this automatic feeder and bought the WiFi package (carnival) and we were able to feed, watch & communicate thru the feeder. It was super easy to assemble, under 5 mins & connect to WiFi. Also set up a voice message that plays whenever his food drops. Perfect and loud enough where he hears it and goes to eat. This is the feed schedule he’s on for his age and weight, he seems to enjoy it’s not too much or little. It does take away from our feeding time, so he enjoys me loving on him while he eats.
I’ve nvr put batteries in it so it’s never died. I use the usb plug in. However I will order batteries soon for emergencies. I definitely recommend this to anyone with pets with owners who travel, work, school, etc. It makes rush mornings such a breeze. If I ever see he’s ate almost to all his bowl I’ll give him a portion. It’s so handy being able to check in on his food him and the house all in one go. Great product!

Love this auto feeder

This is a terrific automatic feeder for my cat. Works really well, and materials feel solid. You can easily record a message, so I have mine set up to say, “Here, kitty kitty,…” as the food dispenses. Very easy to set a schedule for up to two feedings a day. You also have the option to adjust the amount of food dispensed at each feeding. Really terrific.

Great product!!!

I recently bought this pet food dispenser for our pet rabbit, and it has been an absolute lifesaver! We had to leave our rabbit alone for a couple of days, and this dispenser made everything so much easier. The setup was simple, we created a meal plan, and it reliably dispensed the exact portion we set. On top of that, it even notified us when our rabbit had eaten, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away.

100% recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and smart feeding solution for their pets. It worked perfectly, and our rabbit was happy and well-fed the whole time!

I would buy it again

Made my life so much easier, love it!
