Can my dog really hear me through a pet camera?

Yes. Most pet cameras output 70-80 dB from their speakers — clearly audible to dogs in the same room. Many dogs learn to recognize and respond to their owner's voice from the camera.

Is there audio delay in two-way pet cameras?

Typically 0.5-2 seconds of delay over WiFi. This is noticeable but doesn't prevent effective communication with pets. Dogs respond to tone more than precise timing.
