Overview
Vosen Mero F10S is a small rolling pet camera with a self-righting tumbler body, a built-in low-intensity laser and an attachable teaser wand. It patrols on a schedule to find the pet, streams two-way video with IR night vision and returns to its dock by itself. The Kickstarter campaign ended on October 3, 2026 with 4 backers and about $686 of a ≈$49,960 goal, so no one was charged. Videostrong says an upgraded Mero will appear at CES 2027, and it also sells the F10S hardware to other brands as an OEM platform. Pet owners wanting this today can look at the shipping EBO SE or EBO Air 2.
