In this guide
The Granary is a 5 L dry-food feeder with a camera looking down at the bowl: 1–50 portions of 20 ml, up to 10 meals a day, kibble from 2 to 15 mm, and a 1080p lens with night vision and two-way voice. It costs $139.99 in the single-bowl version, $149.99 with two bowls.
The camera is the part that needs a second decision. Live view is included, but recorded video needs a microSD card, which is not in the box, or a Video Cloud plan at $59.99 or $119.99 a year. The feeder dispenses on schedule without either.
Our verdict
The Granary is a capable 5 L dry-food feeder with a useful live camera; the camera only records meal history once a microSD card or a cloud plan is added.
- A good fit for
- Owners of a cat or a small dog who feed dry kibble and want scheduled portions plus a live view.
- We would skip it if
- Wet-food feeders, households needing weight-based portions, or anyone unwilling to manage another app and a possible subscription.
Reasons to consider it
- 5 L capacity, 20 ml portions and up to 10 scheduled meals a day.
- 1080p 145° camera with live view and two-way voice.
- Included DC 5V adapter, three D batteries as outage backup (not included), and a 24-month warranty.
The compromises
- Dry food only; the page caps kibble at 2–15 mm.
- Video history needs a microSD card or a $59.99–$119.99 yearly cloud plan per feeder.
- On battery power the camera goes dark and the feeder drops off Wi-Fi; only the meal schedule keeps running.
- Portions are volume-based (20 ml, about 10 g), and PetLibro advises changing the desiccant bag every two weeks.
What we have not verified: How closely each 20 ml portion holds across kibble shapes, the chute's jam rate near the 15 mm limit, and how usable the night-vision image is are not documented; capacity, portion size and plan terms come from PetLibro's page.
The things in this guide
A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
PetLibro Granary Camera Feeder
$139.99 buys 5 L, 20 ml portions and a 1080p live view, with a mains adapter and room for battery backup; the camera adds a check-in, not a feeding plan.
Before you buy: Dry food only, 2–15 mm kibble; video history needs a microSD card or a cloud plan, and the camera switches off on battery power.
Price checked November 2, 2026. Retailer prices can change.What 5 L and 20 ml mean
The hopper holds five litres; the feeding plan is set in portions. The machine dispenses 20 ml at a time, between 1 and 50 portions per meal, up to 10 meals a day. A portion is volume, so the same setting gives a different calorie count for a dense kibble and a light one; PetLibro's own rough conversion is about 10 g a portion, and the owner still has to know the food.
The chute accepts kibble from 2 to 15 mm and nothing wet. The feeder measures 13.78 by 7.3 by 14.13 inches and weighs 3.75 lb empty, and PetLibro pitches it at small and medium pets such as cats and small dogs. A desiccant bag is included and the hopper is described as quadruple sealed.
The camera, the app and the storage decision
The camera is 1080p with a 145° downward lens, night vision, motion and sound alerts, and two-way voice over 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Live view works without a subscription. History does not: Video Cloud Standard keeps 7 days for $59.99 a year, Plus keeps 30 days for $119.99, a plan covers one feeder only, and a microSD card, bought separately and played back only in the app, is the local alternative.
A live view lets the owner check the bowl at 6 p.m.; it does not show what happened at noon. If the reason for buying is to know whether the cat ate, the storage decision matters more than the camera resolution. If the reason is to say hello, live view is enough.
Power, backup and cleaning
The feeder runs from the included DC 5V adapter, with three alkaline D batteries as backup; the batteries are not included, and PetLibro warns against rechargeables. On batteries alone the Wi-Fi and camera switch off while scheduled meals carry on, so an outage keeps the cat fed but leaves the owner without a picture.
The bowls are removable and the food tray is stainless steel. PetLibro advises changing the desiccant bag every two weeks; a 12-pack is $25.99, about six months of bags. PetLibro's listing is silent on dishwashers, so check the manual before putting the tray or hopper in one.
Price, shipping and warranty
The single-bowl Granary is $139.99; the dual-bowl version is $149.99. US shipping is $5.99 under $34.99, $9.99 from $35 to $98.99 and free over $99, so the feeder clears the free-shipping line on its own. The 30-day money-back guarantee covers purchases from PetLibro's own sites; a return has to include the full packaging and every accessory, and PetLibro deducts the shipping cost unless the feeder malfunctioned.
The warranty is 24 months. A cloud subscription is separate and renews yearly, adding $59.99 or $119.99 a year to the $139.99, and it also carries free device repair or replacement while active; the feeder does not need it to dispense food.
When the camera is not worth it
The Granary makes most sense when the owner wants a live view, a portion count and a record of meals, and is willing to buy a microSD card or a plan for the record. Without that, the camera covers only the moments someone opens the app.
It is the wrong feeder for wet food, for a household that measures meals by weight, or for anyone who does not want another account. The camera shows the bowl and the cat at it; it does not measure how much food was eaten, and it is no substitute for a vet's check on a cat that has stopped eating.
