The Problem

Traditional pet doors are a
security liability.

โš ๏ธ

Unwanted Entry

๐Ÿฆ
Security Risks
Wildlife, strays, and intruders bypass traditional pet flaps โ€” your home is exposed 24/7.
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ
Zero Visibility
No way to know when your pet went out, came in, or whether they are safe.
๐ŸŒก๏ธ
Energy Loss
Unsecured flaps leak heat, Tunisian dust, and noise into your home continuously.

๐Ÿ”

๐ŸŒฟ
Weather-Sealed Design
Motorized lock and neodymium magnetic seal keeps all outdoor elements outside.
Three Layers of Security

One seamless experience.

Every component designed to work as a unified whole โ€” not a collection of sensors, but a single intelligent guardian.

01 / IDENTIFICATION ๐Ÿท๏ธ

The Smart Key

Your pet's VIP pass โ€” never needs charging

A passive RFID token in waterproof silicone. Under 20g and invisible to your pet โ€” yet the most critical layer of the entire system.

  • Passive RFID โ€” zero battery required
  • Waterproof silicone casing, flexible band
  • Under 20g total weight
  • Unique UID per tag, multi-pet support
  • CR2032 backup power available
02 / VISUAL INTELLIGENCE ๐Ÿ“ท

The Guardian Lens

It knows a friendly face

HD camera powered by Raspberry Pi 4 running YOLOv3-tiny. Scans coat, facial features and body shape โ€” no strays getting through.

  • YOLOv3-tiny on Raspberry Pi 4
  • OpenCV & TensorFlow Lite
  • 2.4 FPS real-time processing
  • Ultrasonic HC-SR04 proximity detection
  • Zero tailgating โ€” detects all non-registered animals
03 / PHYSICAL SECURITY ๐Ÿšช

The Fortress Flap

Integrated security for the modern home

Precision-machined door panel with motorized servo latch, neodymium magnetic seal, and custom acrylic paneling โ€” built into your home's architecture.

  • MG996R servo โ€” 1.8 kgยทcm torque
  • Metal locking pin, retracts on auth only
  • N35 neodymium magnet alignment seal
  • Reed switch confirms physical open/close
  • Weather-rated housing, custom acrylic
The Process

Five steps. Under two seconds.

From the moment your cat enters the detection radius to the door swinging open โ€” fully automatic.

๐Ÿ“ก1

Proximity Detected

Ultrasonic HC-SR04 wakes system when pet enters 3-metre radius

๐Ÿท๏ธ2

Token Identified

MFRC522 reads RFID collar UID, verified against authorized list

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ3

Visual Confirmed

AI camera cross-checks animal visual profile, eliminates false positives

๐Ÿ”“4

Door Unlocks

ESP32 fires PWM to servo โ€” locking pin retracts, flap swings free

From Order to Open

Professional installation.
Three steps.

PawPass is not a DIY kit. A bespoke smart home installation handled by our certified technicians, end to end.

01

Home Consultation

Our team visits to assess the optimal installation site โ€” door frame, wall cavity, or exterior wall โ€” mapping all electrical and structural requirements specific to your property.

02

Precision Install

Certified technicians handle all hardware mounting, servo wiring, camera alignment, and Wi-Fi integration. Installation takes 2โ€“3 hours with zero structural damage.

03

Pet Onboarding

We enroll your pet's RFID tag and AI visual profile directly in the app โ€” GPS live, curfew set, full personal walkthrough before we leave.

Investment

Three packages.
One right fit.

All packages include professional installation, full app configuration, and post-installation support.
