Hi. Do you need the PIF-300 in order for the Stay and Play to work? Or is it self-contained?

Everything that is needed for one dog and a flat yard are included in your purchase. Works great, easy to train your dog but it does not work well uneven yard. But, the great part is you can take on vacation with you and your dog will learn when he has the collar on and adjust his behavior to any yard you put him in. Machine plus one collar are included, all you need for one dog..

you can use it as many times as you would like. it just wont store their information in the unit. So just have every thing written down and it would work fine. You would have it set as guest not a person in the data.

It's a standalone unit. You do not need a computer for regular operation. You just need to connect this unit to your network via wired or wireless connection.

As far as I know it is self contained. No computer needed, just a Wi-Fi connection. It stores just enough to feed the stream. Mine runs on a 1.5 mb download DSL with limited buffering times.

No, none is needed,it is powered through the USB connector, which can be connected to the host computer or via an AC to USB adapter if no port is available on the computer. A USB data connection is needed for initial setup (password, etc.) but not for operation.

I don't think you could really use it in that manner, but you could get in touch with the company to be sure. I think when it is initially activated it needs to be near the base station (or possible on it if memory serves) so if your pet was gone, that would obviously be a problem. Not sure if it can be reactivated without also being near/on the base station. It is not an On-Demand service where you just pay the fee when you need it (i.e. not like renting movies on-demand, more like cable/internet service-personally I think the best analogy is to an alarm-type monitoring service for your home, except it is your pet in this case).

Thanks for the response. I received the unit yesterday and am anxious to try it.

works independent - but do not depend on the spotter to work unattended over a long period of time. I've had 2, ran off AC, after a few weeks they got confused and had to be powered off/on to work again - they are nice "toys"

Yes - the computer has to be on all the time because it sends the commands to the z-stick. I used to run it with InControl on a small netbook dedicated to a few other things. I ultimately switched to a VeraLite and dropped the z-stick/InControl.

The unit does not include anything to control it remotely. It is a Z-wave device which means it's compatible with a number of Z-wave controller setups. I have a MiCasa Vera Lite that works really well with it, but you can use others too. That said, you can use the device without a controller simply using the keypad, but the real power and options come by pairing it with an appropriate Z-wave controller.

You download the software for it from the companies website. The software is buggy. It won't work. Most of the reviews will back up my statement. good luck

Thanks - that is the information I needed. I've looked through so many books and googled till my eyes crossed and there is very little information out there concerning small stand alone systems.

Yes it is. For the record, I"m still using my system at our vacation home. I purchased 2 units and they have worked as billed. I did have a problem with an extra valve but am only using 6 zones. I purchases 4 extra valves so I could use 8 zones if needed. So you may want to pick up a spare. Other than that the system works well.

Sorry Guys & Gals I took as Donald just needed the remote alone!!!! Because My remote on the 5706 V is inoperable, All I need is the remote FOB itself, is this possible to buy alone? Do I have to buy the entire system again?Or am I pretty much screwed?ThankS

its actually system on its own. U will need to assign different ip addresses, so if one went down, others still work. amazon has the best price, just check.

This would work by itself. All it needs is to be programmed and mounted and it's ready to go. mine took all of 10 minutes and has been functioning like a dream.

you probably need 2. for me i use it as standalone.. backup in case something happen to the computer and also to play a cd in case someone give me a disk to play. I uses the numark ns6
