Imagine that your cat flap has a camera, and that it is able to monitor your cat’s comings and goings and lock itself if necessary. This is what Flappie, a Swiss start-up which took advantage of CES 2024 to present its first AI-boosted model, will soon offer.
Equipped with several motion sensors and a night vision camera, it analyzes your cat when it decides (finally?) to come inside, and automatically blocks itself if it tries to bring in prey coming from outside. Flappie claims its system has a 90% success rate, thanks to compiling a data set “ unique and exclusive ”, obtained by filming numerous cats and other prey in varied lighting conditions.
The cat flap also includes an electronic chip detection system, so that only your cat can pass through. It can also be connected via Wi-Fi to the Internet, to be controlled using a dedicated application. At the same time, it allows you to obtain alerts, statistics and record video clips, just like any surveillance camera.
Finally, the startup has integrated manual controls inside the device, allowing it to be locked and unlocked at any time, as well as enabling and disabling its prey detection system. Above all, this means that users do not need to connect it to the Internet if they wish, while maintaining its main functionalities.
