What is the range (distance) ie. how close do you have to get for it to read the tag reliably?

I would say within 2 or 3 inches. Mine reliably reads cards through 1/2" thick oak.

No ma'am. At least when I tried it it didn't work. It's a pretty useless tag unless it gets scanned.

I found that these were very disapointing as it was quite easy for the cat to walk out of range. Inf act, it seemed liked hey only worked if you were within about 50 feet. However, I do not think you will need a separate located as each tag is programmable

You will get a location only when someone views the tag contents - either by visiting the web address on the tag or scanning its QR code. These tags do not have any GPS or electronics - they use the viewing device to query the location at the time of view. You cannot track the tag on the web in real time.

It's off my .25 of a mile usually. My husband uses MapMyRun while we run to compare the distance and his seems to be a tad more accurate. None the less its close enough

NFC is - by design - short distance. Though it can read "RFID" if you want long range try "active RFID" or "medium range RFID" or "long range RFID"

2nd answer. If you mean the closest distance you're able to focus at? I can only guess at about 15 to 20 feet. If you mean the closest distance you can calculate by using the mildot system I would again guess as close as you can get a clear focused picture. Mine gives me a very clear picture fifty yards and out but I could not honestly tell you the minimum useful distance.KT

Hey J. Riesbeck, Generally with readers like this the range is from point blank to about 1 inch or so. I got this exact card and have a similar range. The nice thing about this card, though, is that it is also an NFC reader. I used an arduino and created a automated door lock/unlocking mechanism for my house with a servo and use my andriod as a card! Good luck!

We have a fairly large house and yard and never had an issue with the range inside or out. If you're going beyond ~75 yards I can't really comment b/c never tried to use it further than that. The problem with this device though is NOT the range...it's the delay you must suffer through between when you click to 'wake up' the remote and when you are actually able to deliver the shock. In my experience the delay was so long that the dog had finished doing the bad thing before I could shock him. I suggest not buying this model and looking for one that is always on and ready to work exactly when you need it.

Mine is about 25 feet away and is completely reliable. The manufacturer claims it works up to 150 feet.

Only if the tag is scanned with a phone that has gps turned on. It can not track without being scanned

OK, had to actually test it. Works fine. Tried about 15-20 feet away, but since it was line of sight, I also checked it from an adjoining room. Passed with flying colors. 15 feet away on a couch should be fine.

I have used it from between 25 and 30 yards and it works fine. I use it duckhunting. On my mojo

You may want to refer to this review from Amazon aswell: http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog%C2%AE-Tag-Reading-System-16/product-reviews/B00134O7QU?pageNumber=2Hope it helps!

You have to wait for the tag to be scanned. Once the tag is scanned, it will give you the dog's name and the IP address from which the tag was scanned (which is not always the actual physical address if using Wi-Fi and a Router).

I only used the device to keep the dog from jumping on me, so it was always quite close. Sorry I can't help you with the range.

The manual says the rf range is up to 450ft. depending on receiver. Mine is about 100 ft away from the 330a and works very well. At first mounted my sensor in the sun and it had a lot of false alarms, I was able to move to the shade and it is very dependable. The detection range on my sensor is pretty close to 40 ft. and it is mounted 8 ft off the ground.
