The connection between the hub and the pet flap is made via the internet. The hub is connected to your router and thus enables the connection to the Sure Petcare app on your smartphone. The distance between the hub and the flap is not directly limited, as communication takes place via the internet as long as the flap and the hub both have a stable internet connection. However, the physical distance between the hub and router is limited by the range of your network.
You only have to scan your cats' chips once per flap, not separately for each flap. Each cat flap stores the microchip numbers permanently so that you can carry out the learning process for each of your 7 cats on one flap. The cats are then recognised by all three flaps as they all read the same microchip ID code. You can then use the hub and the Sure Petcare app to centrally manage and synchronise settings such as lock mode and release times for all flaps.
SureFlap Microchip Pet Door Connect is actually a microchip-controlled pet door that is often referred to in the trade as a "cat door" because cats are the classic area of application. Officially described by Sure Petcare as "Microchip Pet Door / Pet Flap Connect" and suitable for large cats and small dogs, i.e. not just exclusively for cats.
No, that's not possible, then it's not "tight". You then have no way of clamping, each disc is different in thickness, so you are free with the adapter plate.
One hub is enough for several cat flaps. The SureFlap Connect Hub supports up to 10 Connect products at the same time and connects them to the app via WiFi. You can control and monitor all flaps centrally via the Sure Petcare app.
Yes, for installation in a window, this cat door requires a round hole with a diameter of 300 mm. This hole must be cut out by a qualified glazier, especially for double or triple glazing, in order to seal the glass layers correctly and avoid interference during microchip reading.
The cat flap also works without Wi-Fi as it can be operated manually and recognises the cat's microchip. The Wi-Fi connection and the hub are necessary for control via app and monitoring via smartphone, but the basic function of the flap can be used independently of this.
No, unfortunately this is not possible with this flap. The flap only unlocks from the outside when a chip is recognised. One solution would be to scan the chip of the other cat and only allow it to go outside.
At least 212cm for the cat flap and at least 300cm for the pet flap. However, the round glass installation adapter is required for installation in the glass pane.

The Connect pet flap can be controlled via an app, but you will need a hub to connect to the internet. The hub connects the pet flap to the Sure Petcare app to enable functions such as locking and unlocking and monitoring your pet's activity.
There is an adapter for the glass from the same manufacturer! If not at Galaxus, you would have to search for the item on the manufacturer's website and then on the internet. I bought this from zooplus.
Yes, you can programme the exit lock. The cat can still get in, but not out.
The hub is necessary so that you can access the device. In other words, connect the hub to the modem/router and then you can make the settings via the app.
