Comparison table of characteristics

In the table below we have highlighted several important technical characteristics of the models in question. Compare them with each other and choose the collar that best suits your pet and meets your requirements.

Tips for choosing

When choosing a collar, pay attention to several basic requirements:

• Search engine support. It is desirable that in addition to GPS, the collar supports GLONASS.
• Water resistance. Animals may find themselves in different conditions, so the housing must be protected.
• Collar adjustment. This factor is important, especially when you need to buy a collar for a cat or dog, and versatility is needed.
• Synchronization with the application. This is convenient because in the application you can track where your animal is moving, where it is most often, and at what speed it usually moves.

How to use

Real-time devices operate on several principles. For example, the tracking function.

• The tracking program is loaded into the tracker. All instructions are included with the device.
• The beacon is installed on the pet's collar.
• To determine its location, an identification number is entered on the tracking device, and you can see in real time where the pet is now.

Restriction of territory - convenient for walking a pet in private homes.

Here you need to enter additional settings. The tracking device contains coordinates, and when exceeded, the phone will notify the owner with a sound signal.

Speed ​​limit function

This mode notifies the owner if the pet is stolen. If he is put into a car and taken away, then a signal on the siren will notify him of this. To do this, the maximum data is first set on the device. Applications and speed limits can be found in the instructions.

Each of the parameters is suitable for individual use, so you can purchase a model for any occasion without overpaying for unnecessary functions.
