Chapter 1: The Smart Solution for Pet Access
Introducing a groundbreaking gadget designed specifically for pet owners: a cat and dog door integrated with facial recognition technology. This innovation guarantees that your pets can enter your home securely while keeping unwanted animals outside.
Imagine returning home only to find a strange animal inside. While this usually involves other pets, there are instances where wild creatures like raccoons, squirrels, or even coyotes can intrude.

Chapter 2: How It Works
Petvation employs technology similar to Apple's facial recognition system, scanning and storing your pet's unique facial features for accurate identification when they approach the door.

One of the remarkable features of this door is its ability to recognize your pets even in low light, thanks to a 120-degree camera equipped with infrared technology.

Constructed from resilient aluminum alloy instead of plastic, this door is built to last. It operates quietly, producing sound levels around 45dB—similar to ordinary room noise.
Additionally, Petvation is designed with anti-pinch technology to ensure your pet's safety. The door undergoes a multi-step process to prevent any chance of pinching while your pet enters or exits. The first step involves motion tracking, ensuring the door closes only after the animal is clear. The next step uses a 3D light scanner to confirm that the pet's tail has safely passed through. Finally, an internal system conducts self-diagnosis checks; if any irregularities are detected, the door remains in its current position.
These safety measures prioritize your pet's well-being, allowing them to come and go without concern.

Chapter 3: Smart Features and Availability
Surprisingly, Petvation is also app-enabled. You can control the door remotely, allowing you to open or close it from anywhere in the world. Additionally, you can establish schedules, set curfews, and receive notifications about your pet's activities. However, be mindful that frequent alerts might become overwhelming!
The Petvation door is currently available on Kickstarter for $169, with an estimated delivery in October 2022. Until it arrives, you'll need to be vigilant against those coyotes!
