ZeroMouse - and the cats' mice and prey stay outside!

ZeroMOUSE 2.0 – Say goodbye to mice, birds and the like in the houseWith the ZeroMOUSE 2.0 you can expand your existing microchip-controlled cat flap with intelligent prey detection. This device detects when your cat returns “with a gift” and access is immediately blocked – pet friendly and without stressing your cat. Only when your cat returns without prey will it be allowed back into the house.AI-powered prey detection (e.g. mouse/bird/frog/lizard) with automatic locking Camera with night vision for monitoring even in the dark App-controlled Compatible with many microchip-/RFID cat flaps (e.g. SureFlap, PetSafe, Cat Mate)Advantages:Unwanted prey reliably stays outside You don't have to buy a new cat flap: add-on for existing microchip-controlled systems Works around the clock – even at night thanks to night vision Compatibility:SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap, DualScan, Connect, Pet Door ConnectCat Mate 360 Microchip Cat FlapPetSafe Microchip Cat FlapNot compatible with PetSafe PetPorteImagine: you come home – and instead of a “surprise” in the hallway, your home stays clean. That’s exactly what ZeroMOUSE 2.0 is made for. As an intelligent extension for microchip-controlled cat flaps, it helps you keep prey animals like mice or birds outside without denying your cat access to the outdoors.The heart of the system is AI-powered prey detection. If the system detects that your cat is returning with prey, the flap will automatically lock. In these moments, access will be prevented – handy if you have multiple animals in the household or simply want less cleaning and fewer unpleasant situations and want to sleep through the night. So that the detection remains reliable even at dusk or at night, ZeroMOUSE 2.0 is equipped with a camera including night vision. This is particularly helpful, as many cats are most active when you are least likely to be watching. Another advantage: you don't have to switch to a brand new system. ZeroMOUSE 2.0 is designed as an accessory and is described as compatible with many common RFID/microchip cat flaps. This makes it ideal for households wishing to upgrade their existing cat flap instead of replacing everything. In short: if you want a practical solution to keep prey “outside” while allowing your cat to go out, ZeroMOUSE 2.0 is a very sensible addition to your cat flap setup. Technical details:USB-C cable and adapter - not includedStable Wi-Fi requiredDimensions: 5.75 × 1.65 × 5.91 cmZoo Roco Tip:Plan some intentional “learning time” in the first few weeks and keep the optics clean: With camera-based systems, regular cleaning can help keep the detection quality stable – especially in rain, dust or pollen.Use strong enough adhesive tape to make sure ZEROMouse cannot slip.FAQ – ZeroMOUSE 2.01) What exactly does ZeroMOUSE 2.0 do?ZeroMOUSE 2.0 adds prey detection to your existing microchip-/RFID cat flap. If prey is detected (e.g. mouse or bird), access can be automatically blocked to keep the prey outside.2) Is this compatible with my cat flap?ZeroMOUSE 2.0 is designed as an accessory for many microchip-/RFID cat flaps. Whether it fits your model depends on the type of flap and the installation situation. Check the compatibility list or the manufacturer’s/shop’s information for your flap model before purchasing.3) Do I need to buy a new cat flap?No. ZeroMOUSE 2.0 is designed as an upgrade so you can continue to use your existing microchip-controlled flap.4) Does the detection work at night too?Yes, the system is described as supporting detection by means of camera/night vision, so that recognition can also work in the dark.5) Will my cat be locked out if it returns without prey?In normal operation, access should work as usual – it is mainly blocked when prey is detected. (How reliably this works in your everyday life depends on installation, light, dirt and the situation at the flap, among other things.)6) Is use stress-free for my cat?The idea is to prevent access situationally without denying your cat general access to the outdoors. For your cat to get used to it quickly, a clean installation and a short acclimatisation period will help.7) Can I control settings via the app?Depending on setup, app control is mentioned. Which functions are available (e.g. notifications, settings) depends on the scope of the system and the respective version/integration.8) What can affect detection?Typical influencing factors are dirt or water on the lens, backlight, very fast movements or if prey is carried in an unfavourable way. Regular cleaning around the camera/opening can help.9) Is ZeroMOUSE 2.0 suitable for multi-cat households?Generally yes – this is often where the benefits are particularly great. It is important that your cat flap continues to recognise the desired animals by microchip/RFID and that installation is neat.10) How is ZeroMOUSE 2.0 mounted?It is used/fitted as an accessory to the existing flap (depending on system and installation kit). Follow the instructions and ensure a stable, straight position – this supports reliable detection.11) Does the device require maintenance?A little: keep the lens/area clean, check the fit of the attachment and, if necessary, keep the app/software up to date (if available).12) What if prey still comes into the house?No system is perfect in every situation. Optimise the installation (height, alignment, distance), keep the area clean and check the settings. In some households, additional “prey training” (e.g. playtimes, feeding times, activities) can help reduce hunting activity.Installation is this easy:Important in advance: Install ZeroMOUSE in your cat flap before setting up the app. When setting up, make sure there is nothing in the tunnel of the cat flap.1. Remove your existing microchip cat flap.2.  Feed the USB-C cable through the resulting hole and leave enough length for ZeroMOUSE (aim for approx. 6 cm beyond the inner edge).3. Reinstall the cat flap. Clean the inside of the tunnel carefully and dry it completely.4. Plug the USB-C cable into your ZeroMOUSE (do not connect the power supply yet).5. Remove the protective film from the adhesive pads on the underside. Position ZeroMOUSE centrally on the tunnel floor so that it contacts the rear frame and press it down firmly.6. Make sure there is nothing in the tunnel (not even your hand).7.  Install the ZeroMOUSE app on your smartphone, create your profile and grant Bluetooth permission.8. Now connect the power supply to ZeroMOUSE 2.0 and wait for the device to start up and setup to complete. This may take a few minutes. Setup is complete when the device flashes green steadily and continuously.9. Add ZeroMOUSE in the app and wait for the registration process to complete.
