The notion of getting emailed when my escape artist cat gets more than 250 feet from a central location is of limited use. My question is: is there way for a user to initiate a location request even if the cat is within the boundary of the device perimeter?In other words, can I push a button on the central unit and then start receiving updates to my phone or tablet as to location, even if the cat is say 20 feet from the base but 20 feet in the wrong direction I.E.over the fence and into the neighbors yard, or out in the street?

You can check on your phone or computer at any time. It will show you if he is in or out of the boundary but I don't think it will get down to 20' . I remember 50' as the minimum.The objection I had was all the false messages I got from it. Sometimes as many as half a dozen in a days time.

I has seen there were different sizes. Is that correct? I have two 75 -80 pound dogs do you have the appropriate size that would be designed for them or is it one size fits all collars?
1061286
No. It will tell you that they are near the home docking station. That's all it will tell you when they are within the home zone.
1061287
Actually there's not. If you try to locate your cat within the range of the home base it'll only tell you that your cat is near the home base. It won't show a spot on the map within that boundary, though they should make the option better to minimize and maximize the home range.

What I did was move the zone area online. I left the base where it is physically, but I moved the zone around. it is not great but it can help somewhat.
1061289
I believe that the message that you receive will be that your cat is close to the base. It will not pinpoint location to a very close proximity.

Yes, if you unplug the base unit and wait 10 or 20 seconds, the unit will track your pet regardless of where it is in relation to the Home Zone because there is essentially no longer a Home Zone when the base is unplugged. Also, you can page the unit when it is within the Home Zone. The only problem I ever have with this device is if my cat removes the collar....

It depends on the cat. A real feral cat might want to see what might be approaching. Try facing the Tube away from the wind or putting it in a sheltered spot. I think as long as there is a good escape path the barrier would be fine. Good luck

It may be mounted in high places, I have one mounted about 10ft from the ground. It reaches floor level motion about 15 to 18 feet from the sensor at that height. It may be installed at an angle to project the sensor down to the floor at a steeper angle. The only issue with this sensor for me is it picks up a 8 lb cat from 15 feet away. Another sensor is available if pets will be in the area. It requires an alarm to operate. It will work with all Linx Touch 5200 and the Lynx Touch 7000 alarm systems by Honeywell.

Hi Elena,In my case it depended on my settings; once I set the camera to email photo files every time a motion was detected, I found that it almost instantly prompts emails that contain photos. Depending on your connection and your memory allocation on your mobile phone or computer, you should be able to start and accumulate sequential shots during and after the incident. I tested the camera after I set and activated it before I left the house; since I was the only one in the space at the time, the motion detector picked up all my moves instantly and I had received almost 5 emails on my mobile phone even before I had gotten out the door. I hope this helps.

It doesn't really time out, you set the amount of feet you want the perimeter set at. For example, a 15 would be 15 feet from the line to the inside of your yard and 15 feet to the outside of your yard. So it stops shocking once they hit the 15 feet mark which makes them unfortunately apprehensive to come back so it's not foolproof.

I purchased the PetSafe reluctantly; but glad I did because it kept my boy in responding distance of the sound w/i 4 beeps. If not, I used the level 5 zap only once as a signal for him to know he needed to run back to our yard. It goes up to 15. He had that 1000 yard length of free space out of my sight before he had to come back. I only used it for 5 months and needed it no more. It has nothing to do with in-ground fencing. It has to do with a big yard like mine where I could not put an in-ground fence because of the way my yard is curved.

I am not sure about this one...I have this set up in locations that are outside and get triggered easily. My inbox would be crazy overloaded if I had this enabled. Not sure of the capabilities on that area...sorry not much help.

I have one in my shed which is aprox. 80-100 feet with only obstructions being shed and house walls. Have set it off a couple times by accident. If you want to test it for distance use 2 cell phones. Call one, leave it on and set it by the head unit. Set head unit to chime with noone else home and then put your phone on speaker and put the sensor in a coat pocket so it cant sense motion. Go to where you want to test it and take it out of your pocket while listening for the chime from inside the house over your phone. Remember to wait minimum of 20 seconds with the sensor in your pocket before trying to test it again so it can reset without motion. Good luck.

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.

The activation range of these sensors is limited, four to five feet. I have one in my garage by a window in the case of someone breaking and entering through this window. It sits on a shelf facing the window which is fully covered by drapes. The distance between the sensor and the drapes is under three feet. Anyone entering thru this side window will activate this alarm. I tried mounting it high on a wall about seven feet away from the window to prevent an intruder from disabling it. The alarm would not activate at that distance. I ran everything in front of it short of an Elephant, this gizmo would not not go into alarm mode. This is why I had to place it on a lower shelf facing the window. I don't believe the flaps on your entry will set them off if they are at least fout feet away, at the same token an intruder will have to pass within the three to four foot range to activate them, which gives the intruder the opportunity to grab and deactivate them. The y have a very limited range, certainly less tha advertised.

Don't want to mislead you so I would suggest you go to the "Come with me Kitty" website where you should be able to see their recommended method or give you a "contact us? where you can get a truly accurate answer. We really liked the item and the Kitty was tolerant of it til she got too independent and we felt safe letting her out in the yard

I do not recommend this at all for cats. Cats prefer enclosed and dark spaces to not stress them out. We tried to use this for our cat, and the cat freaked out and it climbed the barrier and squeezed through the opening at the top. This was within 20 mins of our 16 hr drive. We ended up putting the cat in a carrier with a towel over the carrier, and we heard nothing from the cat during the rest of the trip. To answer your question though, it does not have a 'gate'. You would put it up between either the backseat and the trunk area or behind the front seat and would just get the animal out via the trunk door or the back door. Hope this helps.

I don't know what the distance limitation is, but I have always had it less than 15' from the source. In fact, since I wrote the review, I have used it rarely, because it will not make a bluetooth connection with my sources. Not happy with the product or the support.
1492172
This is a Bluetooth device and, as such, does not need line of site. In fact, you could transmit from a Bluetooth device in another room up to about 30 feet away. I have discovered that the device actually will pick up signals even further away but the actual distance depends on what objects, like walls, are between your device and the Nyrius.

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.

I have my antenna, base unit and directional antenna all on same level...highest is at 6' lowest is on the floor. Without zboost sending and receiving a text was near imposible inside...now I am able to receive a phone call (hit and miss) depending on signal strength outside and about a 90% success rate and sending and receiving texts even with photos. It does work a lot better with a direct visual line, but mine, straight line takes it through 2 walls. Mine would probably be a lot better if the outside antenna were higher as well. I thought cost wise this set up was a bit expensive, but when that phone rings inside the house I forget all about the cost! Hope this helps...
