I'm confused. Many of the reviews suggest the Loc8tor Plus, but the Plus has weak reviews. Has this system been updated to match the Plus system?

no, I believe the plus has a advanced reciever to set Zones ect. I have the loc8tor works great. Funny when my cat hears the beep she come home. Its nice to know when they leave the area, but she alway comes home. If I need to fine her this lets you do that.

The regular Loc8tor to my knowledge has no way to update the software. Myself I have no problem with the regular Loc8tor. I have three cats which are all indoor and outdoor cats and to date I have had no problems locating my cats when I need to. The Plus I just have no knowledge about. I've had it now for about six months.

I believe the "plus" system will trigger an alarm if the pet leaves a pre-defined perimeter. Because of the directionality of the RF transmitter/receiver, this may or may not be a good thing. It also eats batteries at a faster pace. For my cat, I new he wouldn't stay in one area. I have no problem finding him when I need to locate him.

I have been ordering BXA ones, both Aloris (which is the style) and off brands seem to work just well. The Aloris ones have some neat features but don't come cheap, just an FYI on that one. There are some 10-15 dollar ones floating around if you look and they work great! Let me know if you need anything else.

is there a real difference between this one and the 820? i was planing on picking one of the two after im finished with my deployment but since this on looks to be discontinued i should just wait to see what new come out.

I have the extender and same OS Ver. It's a God send for when I need to connect to spots out of range. However, it is not without a fair number of bugs. Easy to work out and around, but it's buggy none the less. Just make sure you also buy a USB extension cable. :-)

Get the plus. You can decide later on to purchase a second one to link with it. Totally worth it. I have a classic as well and the plus is newer model and sounds better. Its a little bigger and louder, and longer battery life.

The LOC8TOR Lite doesn't alert you when your pet goes out of the "safe range". It does light up and makes a tracking noise when your pet is nearby so you can "zero in" on their location.

Yes,but the plus is their discontinued model, so no updates anymore, if spending this much for it, I would buy the wd hub, next model up as it comes with a 1tb drive built in,and is still listed on their website as a current model, and this price on the plus is much more than it used to be when it was a current model !

Hey Michael, I compared the two but wasn't able to notice any difference. I have the version II and it works great. For the record, I've used the Z finder and this one is on par with it. I'm assuming that the new one has some minor fixes or changes, but I can't really tell the difference. Best of luck!

I'm not an expert but I think they introduced the Plus in 2010 which replaced the original so if you bought new in 2014, it should be the Plus.I think the Plus has extendable back and sear??? You could always pop into a store stocking them (some Mothercares etc) and check with them.

Looks like Taz 5 is listed directly from lulzbot and not through matterhackers. Buy the Taz 5 obviously. It has some nice upgrades from the 4.

Get the Loc8tor instead. We have been using it for several years now on two different cats with great success.

Um, folks, as someone who WD SENT a free WD Live Plus unit to (because I help out a lot on their forums) I myself am thinking of getting a Popbox. Problem is that the Live Plus has a TON of issues and they aren't planning on resolving them anytime soon (read: maybe sometime next year). I have three Live units (counting the Plus they sent me) and while they do work well *enough* they also have many issues, so unless you do the research (get on the WD forums and start reading, guys -- after you've read about ten thousand messages like I have (and I am the highest poster there) you'll start to know something) I would NOT recommend the Plus right now. On the opposite side, it does Netflix *extremely* well (assuming you discount some of the issues like no component out playing properly, freezing requiring power plug pulling, etc). Truly, if all you want is a Netflix box I'd recommend it highly.

It's just the model. The plus is just newer version of the uv-5r so they add a plus to it. I guess cause to make it sound better lol

I got the 200... It had better features and a very nice design. This unit is great for the price, you get the same features of units that cost in the 800 to 1000.00 range. It's worth getting. The units very lite, designed well, (looks cool) and has been extremely actuate for me, the gps function is also very handy in finding your way back to a good spot.

Same thing. LNC216 is retail box. LNC204 is just the camera I believe. I have 4 LNC 216. I would recommend NOT purchasing them. Here is why: 1. Video quality is relatively poor. 2. Temp sensor is always 10 degrees off 3. PIR motion sensor really blows compared to my $400 VIvotek camera 4. Tech support, try call their tech support before purchasing and listen to # of minutes wait. It is ALWAYS 45+ minutes. Their email support is also horrible. 5. The iPhone/ipad app has no way to do fast forward / rewind of videos from the NAS/camera SD card. 6. These are just rebranded Starvedia cameras, lorex doesn't even make them. 7. Cameras have small blips where they stop recording to NAS, and occasionally stop writing altogether until you REBOOT them. All in all, VERY UNSTABLE cameras.

This is kind of an odd request, in that only you can answer the "why?". What is it that YOU need or are looking for in a GPS? By reading the descriptions and a few reviews on each, you may get better information on the different feature set of each unit. A good place for professional reviews is gpsmagazine.com. FYI, all Garmin units will route you pretty much the same no matter the price.Good luck on your search.

The max if given a choice. Escort will likely support it better since it's their newest product. It had a few bugs when introduced, and they may have fixed them by now. I own both, but put the max on the shelf because I didn't have time to do the upgrades to fix the minor stuff that I had problems with. Range was same for. Oth but red light camera locations came up quicker with ix
