The electronic dog door is powered either by batteries, electrical plugs or
by both. This door uses state of the art technology in order to give your pet a
greater degree of freedom. The door has detectors that can sense the presence of
a special collar that your pet has to wear, and will open only when this collar
approaches. This will prevent other dogs or animals and even potential burglars
from going into your house. Of course, the technology of these automatic doors
makes them more expensive, but they are worth it.
One of the advantages of these doors is that, unlike regular pet doors, they
can't be pushed open and will always be closed, keeping water and snow from
coming into the house. Traditional pet doors can be entered anytime but
electronic doors close right after the pet has passed through it and stay closed
until the pet returns.
How They Function
There are various kinds of doors but they generally function in the same way.
The door has some sensors which make the door open when they detect a magnetic
(sometimes infrared) signal emitted by a collar that your dog has to wear at all
times.
The door will automatically open after the dog passes through and it will lock
until the dog returns to pass through again. There are some types which include
a remote control that let the owner keep the door closed or opened regardless of
where the collar is.
One of the unique features about an electronic pet door is that people cannot
activate the door because the high-tech sensors can detect the difference
between an animal and a person
Price
Since the level of technology used plays a great role in the price aside from
the material and size of the dog door, models can go from $40 to $700 in price.
Other features include battery back up and different locking options.
The electronic dog door is powered by normal electrical current or by batteries. It locks after the dog comes in, keeping animals and rain outside. Depending on your specific electronic pet door model, you may get different features.
