3. Anti-Pinch Safety Feature

The door is equipped with an anti-pinch safety mechanism. If the door encounters an obstruction (e.g., a chicken) during closing, it will gently reverse its movement. If blocked multiple times, an alarm will trigger, and an app notification will be sent.

Sequence of images demonstrating the anti-pinch safety feature: the door closes, encounters a chicken, reverses three times, stops if blocked, triggers an alarm, and sends an instant phone alert.

4. Predator Alerts and Night Vision

The integrated 1080P HD camera with night vision provides 24/7 surveillance. When motion is detected at night, the system can trigger an alarm, capture photos, and send instant app notifications to deter predators and inform you of activity.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regularly clean the door tracks and the camera lens to ensure smooth operation and clear image quality. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
