Enabot Ebo Air 2 Review: A Playful Home Security Robot with Pet‑Cam Appeal
Key Points
- Palm‑sized robot with 2K camera and 137° field of view
- Customizable LED eyes and expressive presets for pet interaction
- Works best on hard floors; struggles on high‑pile carpet and obstacles over 6 mm
- Supplied 32 GB microSD (supports up to 256 GB); no cloud storage
- Charging dock requires a clear 1‑ to 1.5‑meter radius for reliable returns
- Two‑way voice and laser pointer make it a playful pet camera
- Video quality comparable to entry‑level indoor security cameras
- Limited climbing angle (~4°) and obstacle avoidance
- Manual docking via app often more reliable than autonomous return
The Enabot Ebo Air 2 is a palm‑sized robot that blends a 2K security camera with interactive pet‑play features. It offers a 137‑degree field of view, motion presets, expressive LED eyes and two‑way voice, all controlled through a mobile app. While the video quality rivals entry‑level indoor cameras, its mobility is limited on uneven surfaces and it struggles with obstacles taller than 6 mm. The dock requires a clear radius for reliable returns, and the robot is better suited as a pet camera than a replacement for traditional security systems.
Design and Core Features
The Ebo Air 2 measures small enough to fit in a hand yet packs a 2K camera with a 137‑degree field of view. Two LED displays on either side of the camera can show custom expressions, and the robot includes a set of eye presets that add personality during operation. Users can control movement manually via the app or select preset patterns such as figure‑eight or zig‑zag, primarily intended for pet interaction.
Performance as a Security Camera
In stationary mode the camera delivers video quality comparable to budget indoor security cameras, though it does not match the sharpness of higher‑end models. Night‑time recording performs adequately, and the device records to a supplied 32 GB microSD card, supporting up to 256 GB. There is no cloud storage, keeping recordings private. Motion‑triggered recording and scheduling are available, but the robot will not run a schedule while the app is active or the device is in sleep mode.
Mobility and Limitations
The robot moves best on uniform hard floors; high‑pile carpet and rug edges cause instability and reduced video quality. Its climbing angle tops out at about 4 degrees, and it cannot cross obstacles taller than 6 mm. The center of gravity is relatively high, which can lead to wobbling on uneven terrain. Dropping the unit from a short height caused no damage, indicating reasonable durability, but it should not be repeatedly dropped from higher levels.
Docking and Power
The charging dock works best when a clear radius of roughly 1 to 1.5 meters (about 6 feet) is kept around it. The adhesive pad on the dock performs better on solid flooring than on carpet. Users often find manual docking via the app more reliable than relying on the robot’s autonomous return.
Pet‑Cam Capabilities
The Ebo Air 2 shines as a pet camera. Its expressive eyes, laser pointer (though some pets ignore it), and two‑way voice let owners interact with animals remotely. The robot’s mobility allows it to roam a room and engage pets, making it a fun companion for pet owners who enjoy playful features.
Overall Assessment
While the Ebo Air 2 offers a novel blend of security and pet‑interaction, its practical security use is limited by mobility constraints and the need for a clear docking area. It serves best as a pet‑camera with secondary security functions, offering good video quality, fun interactivity, and a private local storage solution.
