I am ordering a GPS collar but also want this. If a finder scans this, does it tell YOU where he/she is? I am an animal lawyer so I've seen bad things

No it pulls up an equivalent of an online dog tag with contact information.

of course there is no gps for 10 bucks. the sellers of this item are trying to pull a fast one. dont buy into it. get your dog chipped, and get a normal cheap tag.

It's simple to operate and should work to mark his property lines if he already knows the GPS coordinates and can walk/travel his property line with the system on. He could also mark his deer stands and the path to it so it would be easy to find in the dark. I use the Garmin 62 stc and recommend it because you can take a pictures of a certain location (his deer stand) and the system marks the GPS coordinates. Hope this helps.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

I think you'd needa different tag for each pet. When you scan the tag it will take you to the website where you'd post a picture and information about the animal Then when someone else scans the tag that info will come up, allowing them to contact you and it will send you a text informing you of the location where the pet was when scanned. You can rescan the tag if you want to edit your pet's profile but it doesn't just stay on your phone. My biggest concern with this product is that the tag doesn't seem very durable. I'm afraid it's going to break so I don't actually have my dog wear it much... which makes it pretty useless. I think you'd needa different tag for each pet.

This is a small rice sized chip you or your vet will need to inject into your dog. You must register it after that. If you do no register this it has no effect if the dog would be found. This can not track your dog down. I'm not aware of any chips that have a gps/tracking feature.

The scanner is simply for scanning an animal at very close range to check for an implanted microchip. The scanner needs to be moved directly over the neck, back, shoulder area of the pet, literally an inch from the fur. So, it is NOT a long range solution for locating a pet, etc.

GPS works everywhere, except near the north and south pole. If you want to use the GPS coordinates the mapping software will have to match the reference system used by the Garmin unit. The only other remaining question is whether the 140 MHz transmitter used in the dog collar is licensed in any of these countries. If this is not of concern, then, yes, it works just about everywhere.

Hello, If the bug is off there is no signal for the detector to find. the bug/camera/gps device MUST be on. The only thing that may be off is a hidden camera because this machine will locate the lens of the camera. Thank you. Sleuth Electronics LLC

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

We have never tracked our dog with ours. We really haven't fooled with it much, but I think the dog has to be pretty close to you in order for the device to pick up. I wish I had bought a GPS one rather than this one.

I'm sorry for your loss...we too suffered such a loss and wished we could have traced her through the microchip, but since it doesn't have GPS capabilities we could not. This is exactly why I'm looking at some type of a chip we could trace the where abouts of a pet. To Cherry who callously answered your question with a very unfeeling smart#@$ remark...shame on you...we have felt the pain of this type of a loss NOT FUNNY! Someday I hope they will be able to figure out a gps chip that will work. The not knowing is so painful.

We got a dog from a rescue which had been chipped. She ran away 5 days ago and when she got picked up by the dog catcher they scanned her and we got her back today. We had used a service called "24hour pet watch" its free.

Yes! You need the QR app but once you have that you can scan the tag and locate the owner & vet.

You don't "track" your dog. If your dog is found and is taken to an animal control facility, shelter, veterinarian, etc., they have a scanner that can read the chip and give them an identification number that is linked to your account. They can use the national database of microchip ID numbers to match it to your contact information.

Sorry for delay -I was overseas, and had to test. I used my 14K wedding ring, and the scanner could pick it up from about 1" away. I suppose it would matter where you lost it, but it will detect.

Yes it does give an address of where it is parked. It Is quite accurate. Lots of nice features.

Hello Steve, Good Question....The Unit Is Set Up To Actually Do The Reverse. It Will Alert You Once It Leaves A Geo-fence Area. But You Can Do One Of Two Things To Accomplish What You Are Trying To Do. 1- You Can Set The Unit On No Move And Once It Moves You Can Watch It In Intervals To See If The Unit Enters The Area. 2- Once The Tracker Reaches The Area You Are Talking About, Then Set Your GeofenCe And YouR Intervals, Then The Tracker Will Alert You When It Is Out Of That Area.....Once It Returns To That Area It Will Stop Alerting You. Hope This Answers Your Question. Thank you.
