Identification

It knows a bobcat from your cat.

Most cameras say "motion". Ruffyard says coyote, bobcat, raccoon — or Mochi, home again. The classifier was built around the two pairs owners actually confuse, and got coyote and bobcat right in all but three of 866 calls on night infrared in testing.

Deterrent

A sprinkler, not a siren.

When a coyote shows up, one tap — or a rule you set — runs your sprinkler. Water deters wildlife without harming anything, and it doesn't wake the street. About 1.6 seconds from the request to the sprinkler running, measured on real hardware.

Cats

First-class for cats.

Ruffyard alerts you when Mochi leaves the yard, and tells you what was out there while she was gone. Bobcat versus house cat is one of the two pairs the classifier was built around — because cat owners need this most.
