Two approaches / One decision
A view of the bowl,
or a bigger hopper?
PETLIBRO Granary Camera and PetSafe Smart Feed solve different parts of the feeding routine. Start with the feature you actually need.
Consider Granary Camera
When observation matters.
A built-in camera is the key distinction. Confirm the exact app generation and your recording needs.
Read the Granary reference →Consider Smart Feed
When capacity matters.
A larger hopper and a different food range are the main reasons to investigate it. Confirm your space and network.
Read the Smart Feed reference →Compare the conditions

The shared limitation
Neither reference is being recommended here as a physically restricted-access feeder. If pets must stay on different foods, stop and verify access control before comparing camera features or hopper size. A different product class may be necessary.
What this comparison cannot settle
We have not measured noise, dispensing accuracy, app stability, durability or pet acceptance. Those cannot be ranked from specifications. Prices, marketplace eligibility and recording charges also remain outside this comparison.
Another direction
For a cat-only routine where a smaller hopper is sufficient, investigate the oneisall 3.5 L reference. Its camera-free design and power behavior come with their own checks.
