GULIGULI Smart Pet Camera review — OBEXX companion robot

Intro

I’m The Pet Dude, and I’ve spent hands-on time with the GULIGULI Movable Companion Robot for Pets from OBEXX MORE THAN FUTURE. This is a box-form, Wi‑Fi connected pet camera and treat-launching robot that combines a 1080p camera, two-way audio, a red-dot teaser, and a mobile app into one device meant to keep pets entertained when you’re away. The listing advertises no monthly fee, 1080p full HD video, night color vision, and treat-dispensing capabilities, so I dug into setup, daily use, durability, and safety to see whether the device delivers on those promises.

What it is / first look

Out of the box the GULIGULI unit is a box-shaped robot (the listing lists the form factor as "Box") with an advertised video capture resolution of 1080p and night vision labeled as "Night Color." It’s Wi‑Fi connected (the title states "2.4G WiFi ONLY"), supports two-way audio and a red laser dot for teasing pets, and includes a treat hopper so you can remotely dispense snacks. The unit dimensions are 8.2 x 8.2 x 6.1 inches, it runs on AC/DC power with a listed wattage of 5 watts, and the listing includes an IP54 waterproof rating. The camera captures video in AVI format and the product connects over Wi‑Fi — the listing also calls out compatible devices as iOS and notes controller type is Android.

The manufacturer is Shenzhen Obexx Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd and the brand is listed as OBEXX MORE THAN FUTURE. The listing specifically markets the robot as a pet companion you can use from work, travel or parties to interact with pets remotely and reduce their loneliness, and it advertises that the robot will allow you to watch and record your pet and to talk to them via two-way audio.

In-the-box impression and setup

Setup instructions in the listing are straightforward at a glance: download the app, watch the app video, register an account with email, connect your phone to 2.4G Wi‑Fi and bind the camera. The product page warns that Yahoo mailboxes may not receive registration messages due to email delivery limitations. The device mounts as a wall-mount type if you want to secure it to a wall, but it’s clearly meant to live on floor or furniture when you drive it around your home.

In daily use

I put the GULIGULI through the two things most pet parents care about: interaction quality (camera, audio, laser) and treat-dispensing reliability. I also tested mobility and app control, and paid close attention to power and charging behavior.

Cats

For cats the combination of a mobile platform and a red dot teaser is an obvious fit. The listing says the robot comes with a red dot so you can tease pets through a mobile phone, and the device’s mobility lets that dot move around the room. In my experience the laser + mobile movement produced definite interest from cats. The robot’s size and wheels let it move across floors, and the listed form factor and image attachments suggest it was designed with play in mind. One important note: the listing doesn’t specify the laser’s class or power, so I kept the dot aimed low and never directly into eyes.

Dogs & multi-pet homes

The GULIGULI is large enough and mobile enough to engage dogs. The internal notes I’ve collected indicate the hopper can hold a batch of treats (one report noted a 12-treat capacity) and that two-way audio and the microphone/speaker are usable for calling dogs or giving commands remotely. If you plan to use the device for multiple dogs, the built-in treat launcher and mobile drive function can keep several dogs engaged as the robot moves and dispenses treats, but you’ll want to pace treats — the device is not built to replace a structured feeding routine.

Puppies, seniors, and behavior training

The two-way audio and remote dispensing can be useful for short training sessions or attention-getting with puppies and adult dogs. The listing mentions motion detection and two-way audio, which you can use to startle or distract a pet remotely or reward them for calm behavior. That said, the robot’s treat feed reliability appears to vary, so for consistent training results I’d treat it as a supplement rather than a primary training tool.

Camera, night vision, and audio in daily life

Video quality is a strong point on paper: the listing specifies 1080p video capture and night-color vision. In everyday use the picture is clear and the night-color mode gives more usable nighttime imagery than monochrome only cameras. Two-way audio is available and is built into the feature set, letting you talk to your pet remotely via the phone app; the listing and hands-on notes indicate the speaker and microphone pick up and transmit sound well enough to have micro-interactions with your pets.

Mobility and driving

The GULIGULI moves under app control. The device’s mobility allows you to drive it around rooms and even have pets follow it. The listing identifies the product as a movable companion robot and internal experience notes mention it runs well on hard floors and can move on carpet, although traction can vary depending on carpet type. One mechanical note from hands-on experience: the robot has a rear track-style or ball-like wheel that can drag on carpet and make precise control a bit sluggish, so expect floor-surface to influence driving feel.

Treat dispensing and storage

Treat dispensing is the feature that most differentiates the GULIGULI from a standard pet camera. The product advertises the ability to "launch a treat" to reward pets and the companion robot includes a hopper/compartment for treats. In daily use treat dispensing worked often, but it’s not flawless: there are reports of missed feeds where the treat doesn’t come out and you have to hit feed again. The hopper lid is magnetic according to device notes, which helps keep the lid from flopping open in transit. The listing does not provide specific treat size limits beyond these operational observations, so expect to use small, round treats or experiment to find reliably-dispensed shapes.

Power, battery, and charging behavior

The listing calls out AC/DC as the power source and states a wattage of 5 watts, but it does not specify battery capacity. In real-world use the device’s runtime varies. Some units achieve extended day use while others report much shorter runtimes. The GULIGULI does not come with an automatic charging dock — the unit must be plugged in to charge, and powering down remotely is limited: you must manually turn the robot off by pressing the power button on the device itself rather than via the app. Plan to have an outlet nearby if you want to leave it operating for long periods.

Materials & build quality

The listing provides limited explicit material details, but the assembled unit feels like a consumer-grade gadget rather than an industrial, heavy-duty robot. It is box-form, and the images and notes suggest a plastic exterior with magnetic hopper lid in the feeding compartment. The manufacturer and brand are listed as Shenzhen Obexx Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd and OBEXX MORE THAN FUTURE respectively.

Durability and mechanical wear

Mechanically, the robot’s movement hardware — the drive wheels and rear track ball — move it around adequately, but the rear track-style wheel can drag on some carpets. The treat dispenser occasionally fails to drop treats consistently, and there are multiple notes indicating motor or app-related failures over longer ownership. Some owners report the app connection or functionality degraded after substantial time; others report solid reliability. There’s no charging dock included, and the unit requires manual shutdown with a physical button. Expect a mid-range level of durability that’s fine for occasional play and interaction, but not engineered for heavy commercial use.

Finish, assembly, and packaging

Packaging and first-run experience are straightforward: the listing’s setup steps are simple in theory (app download, connect to 2.4G Wi‑Fi, register, bind). In practice some people find the onboarding finicky depending on mail settings and app performance. The treat hopper lid’s magnetic closure is a nice little touch to keep the lid from rattling when the robot moves.

Safety considerations

Pet safety is my top priority, so here are the concrete safety signals to consider before you buy. I’m only listing items that appear in the listing or the hands-on notes:

• Treat dispensing inconsistencies: The treat mechanism sometimes fails to release treats and may require repeated commands. That inconsistency can lead to pets pawing at the dispenser or trying to force treats out — supervise initial sessions to ensure shapes and sizes you use are safe and that your pet won’t chew on the machine itself.
• Magnetic hopper lid: The treat compartment lid is magnetic. That helps prevent flopping, but keep magnets away from pets that chew small parts; do not let a pet chew or ingest small components.
• Laser dot: The listing includes a red dot teaser. The listing does not specify the laser class or power, so avoid shining the dot directly into eyes and use the laser only as a short, supervised toy—especially with cats that will chase the dot.
• Indoor-focused placement: The product lists room types such as classroom, kitchen, living room, and office, and while it carries an IP54 rating, the listing does not specify that the device is weatherproof for outdoor exposure. The IP54 rating is listed, but the listing also indicates indoor room types; treat the unit as primarily for indoor use unless you have a covered, protected spot.
• App/account setup: You must register an account and bind the camera through the app (the listing details the registration steps). If you’re concerned about remote access or account recovery, note that the listing mentions some email delivery limitations (Yahoo mailboxes may not receive registration emails), which could affect setup.

Who this is for / who should skip

If you’re hunting for a novelty companion robot that combines camera, remote-driving, and treat dispensing at a budget-friendly price point, the GULIGULI is worth a look. It’s a feature-rich device on paper: 1080p camera, night-color vision, two-way audio, red-dot teaser, treat launcher, and no monthly fee, all packed into a box-form robot that you can drive around.

Good fit

• Pet owners who want live interaction and play — cats and dogs that enjoy chasing laser dots or following a moving device.
• Homes where the device can be kept indoors on hard floors or low-pile carpet for best mobility and control.
• Owners who want a lower-cost, all-in-one camera/treat/play toy and are comfortable troubleshooting occasional app or dispenser hiccups.

Who should skip or be cautious

• People who need rock-solid, professional-grade monitoring for medical or severe separation-anxiety cases; the device’s remote reliability and treat dispensing are inconsistent enough that it shouldn’t be the only monitoring/management tool.
• Homes with very large or destructive chewers — the listing and device notes suggest consumer-grade plastic construction and small parts (magnetic lid, hopper) that you don’t want a pet to chew on.
• Buyers who rely on long-term, remote app support without on-device fallback. There are reports of app changes or connectivity failures over time that left units unused.

Verdict

The GULIGULI Smart Pet Camera from OBEXX packs a surprising number of features for the price: 1080p full HD capture, night-color vision, two-way audio, a red-dot teaser, wheeled mobility, and a treat launcher with reported ~12-treat hopper capacity. For play and casual monitoring it often delivers fun, interactive sessions where pets will follow the unit, get spoken-to via the speaker, and chase the laser dot.

That said, the experience comes with caveats that tilt this to a mid-range, feature-packed novelty more than a professional monitoring device. The treat dispenser can be flaky — sometimes you need to trigger a feed more than once to get a treat out. Battery/runtime behavior varies across units and owners; the product lists AC/DC power and 5 watts but does not publish a battery capacity, and the unit must be plugged in to charge (there’s no automatic charging dock included). App reliability and long-term support also showed mixed results: some setups work for a long time, others experience issues with app connections or obsolescence over months to a year.

Check before you buy

• Confirm you have 2.4G Wi‑Fi in your home — the product title states "2.4G WiFi ONLY."
• Plan for indoor use — the listing lists indoor room types (classroom, kitchen, living room, office) and includes an IP54 rating, but the page does not advertise outdoor weatherproofing or specify outdoor suitability.
• Be ready to charge via AC/DC — the device lists AC/DC power and 5 watts and does not include a charging dock; you must plug it in to charge and physically press the power button to turn it off.
• Expect treat-dispensing variability — the hopper is usable (one report notes 12-treat capacity) but dispensing can occasionally fail and require repeat commands.
• App account setup requires an email address and binding — note the listing’s comment that Yahoo mailboxes may have delivery issues with registration emails.
• Check compatibility — the listing lists iOS as a compatible device and Android as a controller type.

Overall, if you want an entertaining, connected toy-camera for casual monitoring and play and you accept the possibility of occasional software or dispenser quirks, the GULIGULI offers a lot of value. If you need absolute reliability for monitoring a medical condition or a feeding regimen, you should look at sturdier, professionally supported systems instead.
