Hi-Tech Dog Entryways

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Pet Door PX-1 Opens Automatically When Collar is in Range

— September 7, 2012 — Art & Design
There are not a lot of dog- and cat-specific entryways because although convenient for people's furry family members, they are not necessarily practical in an overall sense; but the Pet Door PX-1 hopes to change that. This mini entrance boasts hi-tech features that ensures it is only used by the dog or cat purported to use it.

Created by High Tech Pet, the Pet Door PX-1 works with an electronic collar. This collar has a sensor that activates the opening and closing of the door. This way no other critters, including the unwelcome human kind, cannot get in when not invited. In addition to this key feature, the Pet Door PX-1 doesn't just unlock, it raises open. The collar can be programed to works as 'out only,' 'in only' or both.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Pet Entryways - Opportunity for creating a range of pet entryways that operate with smart sensors and locks like the Pet Door PX-1.
2. Programmable Pet Collars - Innovation opportunity for creating programmable pet collars that allow pet owners to control the pet’s entry and exit using sensors and locks like the one used by Pet Door PX-1.
3. Secured Smart Home Features - Creating smart home features like Pet Door PX-1 that increase security by using smart sensors and locks to keep out unwelcome visitors.
