will this give me a real time location of my dog or do i have to wait for someone to scan the tag?

Some one must scan the tag or place the code number at the website, if they don't have a smart phone capable of scanning bar codes. In other words it is not a realtime gps locator, it takes someone who finds the tag to make the effort to help you locate. However it gets info you want about name, medical condition, extra phone numbers to reach you.

It does not have real time location. When someone scans the tag it will give an IP address or a real address, via email or text.

I am sorry but I cannot answer the question because I have not used the tag yet.

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).

It depends. The system is not as responsive as I expected. It usually takes 8-12 minutes until a notification arrives - and that location is already some minutes old. So if you have a fast traveling pet, good luck. You are dealing with outdated info.The map on the android is not accurate either. Plus, even if you try to locate your pet within the home zone, the map on the mobile device is useless, because it shows the tagg being at the center of the home zone.

Your phone just has to be turned on and not on the lock screen. Then you can just scan the tag without going into an app.

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.

Yes, the tag itself isn't a GPS device, it is just a tag with a QR code on it that reads the device GPS when it is scanned

no, the tracker provides exact coordinates of where it is, as long as the tracker is on him, it will show you an address, etc, but if you dont have access to a computer, you could use an app for your phone that shows the position of the tracker on it

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.

I've read that some people claim they've gotten this to work, but it did not work for us. We use the tag on the collar. It was pretty funny to though watching me trying to hold the cat close to this door to try to program her implanted chip - like you're at the self check out and the scanner won't read the bar code no matter how much you wave the cat back and forth in front of it;-)

Actually, I returned it because of the number of false positives I got. But to answer your question, the fob goes on your keychain and the tag is used for a purse or such (larger)

Yes. The tag is linked to the pet's online profile, which may contain the pet's veterinary and contact information, and any other information the owner chooses to include.

Yes. It will constantly tell you which direction your dog is from you and it will tell you how many yards away.

This collar will show how far the dog is from the handheld device. I think there is a way to store gps points and track the dog but I don't know how to use that feature if it exists. I think the garmen collar will let you see what you are asking but it doesn't have a combination of ecollar and gps. I hope this helps.

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.

Use an app like Trigger to program the tags. You just have to have your phone screen on and on the main screen when you scan the tag. At least that's the way it works with my LG Optimus F7.

Just a note: Yes, the tag will work anywhere on the planet where there is Internet access. A QR scanner is not required as every dynotag has its unique web address imprinted on it as well - visit with any web browser. QR code is for convenience of those with QR readers ready on their phones, scanning a QR code is normally faster and less error prone than typing a web address in on a mobile phone...

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.

Pet microchips are not tracking devices. They are radio-frequency identification (RFID) implants that provide permanent ID for your pet.Because they use RFID technology, microchips do not require a power source like a GPS. When a microchip scanner is passed over the pet, the microchip gets enough power from the scanner to transmit the microchip's ID number. Since there's no battery and no moving parts, there's nothing to keep charged, wear out, or replace. The microchip will last your pet's lifetime.
