Remember ArticleSmart bouncer: Petvation's AI cat flap recognizes your pets

The neighbors' spoiled cat peeing on the couch, the half-dead mouse causing nightmares for the kids, or raccoons ravaging half the house in search of a hearty snack: conventional cat flaps have the decisive disadvantage that not only your own kitty can come and go at will, but also other animals.
The smart cat and dog flap from Petvation wants to prevent exactly that and ensures that only your pets are actually granted access. This is made possible by AI cameras and intelligent sensors that allow - or deny - the step over the threshold via facial recognition.
Hunting trophies must remain outside
Thanks to previously self-defined Face IDs, the flap only opens when Petvation recognizes a familiar face. This can be the cat or the dog - or both. "The system also detects uninvited guests such as raccoons, wolves, squirrels, rabbits, ducks, foxes, rats, chickens and many more," the manufacturer promises. These would of course be automatically denied access.A practical feature that you can activate if necessary: The camera detects when your cat or dog wants to bring trophies like mice, fish & co. Even then, access to the house can be denied.
Petvation's eyes display two sets of high-resolution infrared cameras with a 120-degree wide-angle lens on each side. This is designed to detect pets even at night - and with their heads lifted, lowered or turned to the side.
Sensors prevent animals from being trapped
The cat flap comes up with three independent safety mechanisms that are designed to prevent the pet from getting hurt while crossing. The fast-acting sensors detect when the dog or cat is approaching. The pinch protection ensures that the paws or tail are not pinched by the flap.The self-diagnostic system also ensures that the flap's responses - based on the pet's habits - are constantly improving through machine learning.
Petvation works completely offline
According to Petvation, the flap is equipped with one of the most powerful and advanced AI chips that can run complex facial recognition algorithms completely offline. All images are stored and processed on the physical device itself - without the need to connect to the internet or upload data.Petvation's smart cat and dog flap won over a Kickstarter campaign. A total of 581 backers raised more than 90,000 US dollars, which means that the smart invention is now going into production."
