Are treat-tossing pet cameras worth the extra money?

It depends on your dog. Across r/Dogowners and r/Dogtraining threads we read, owners are split: some say the treat toss is genuinely useful for relieving separation anxiety and reinforcing calm behavior, while others report their dog 'lost interest eventually' or got more wound up by the device. If you mainly want to check in visually, a $20 pan/tilt cam does that job for a fraction of the price.
