Can I track my dog in real time on my android phone?

The system seems to have about a 30 sec delay when my dog is on the move. No problems finding him though.

Absolutely! Anytime, anywhere. This device works better than anything on the market. A must have for any pet owner.

The tracker refreshes at intervals...I think every 3 minutes. So, not 'real time' but pretty close.

see my review for more info. Its buggy. In short - you can track in 'real time' but its delayed. There is a lag, and some issues with when you move the home port docking station. If the home port gets moved without your knowledge, you will not be able to use the tracking feature - the response will say power saving mode, your pet is near the home port and will not give you the location of your pet & where the home port has been moved to. When I used it, you also cannot use the activity monitor in real time. It only updates about every 6 to 8 hrs.

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.

#1. Recharge the TAGG every night. #2. When your dog gets out you get a text or email or whatever you want. So you know the MINUTE they're outside the tag zone. At that point your dog is out only a couple minutes. If you do not keep your phone with you, you could have a bigger problem. #3. Check to make sure your area is covered by Verizon. That is the company they use. #4. I have an uncharted area behind my house. If my dog goes to another house the text reads something like, "I'm 19 feet from 1234 Oak St." If not it will be more vague. But switch right over to MAP and you can push TRACK or text it in. Then you'll get an every 3 min read on where the dog is for 30 minutes. What you see is an aerial view of the forest and dots where your dog is...and if you get onto a puter you can get to see exactly where they went....every few minutes dots. A fully charged tracker can handle a couple of those 30 min sessions at least I think. My dog goes into areas that I can't get to....too much dense forest. So I know where she can get out of the forest and go to that road by car. The longest it has taken to get my dog is less than 15 minutes. Unless they do not come when called. But you will know where they are, marked every 3 minutes, and you will see a blue dot of you, so you'll see when you're close even if it's just thick woods. Recharge time varies, but it's a few hours. My older trackers are slower and discharge faster than brand new ones. So they do not last forever. Your option is the more expensive Garmin collars. I don't know how long they last, but the problem is GPS uses a lot of energy and you do not have the capacity of a cell phone on that collar. I have a dog that will jump every day. I don't pay attention until I get that very well recognized sound on my iphone. Then I go outside to where it says she is and usually in 5 minutes she is back home...to which she gets a very nice piece of steak or something for coming to me.

Yes it should do a great job of tracking your walks. I have never used it outside of the US so you will need to check if it works in Australia.

You can't track your dog with the chip. The chip is passive and needs to be scanned. The benefit is that if someone finds your pet and brings it to a vet, the vet can scan the chip and quickly look up your contact info. Its not really better than a collar with your phone number, except that the chip can never come off. If your dog slips out of its collar or runs away while the collar is off, the microchip will always be there.

According to GE yes the motion sensor is pet friends up to a certain size pet (it might trigger if large or larger size dog walks into room).

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

Yes because you need to enter the code that is in the device. This is the way you track the device.

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.

It sure is! So you can use YOICS from your smart phone or tablet. I use mine to monitor my boxer puppies. Sure makes things easier.

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.

The receive will track where you walk and you can look at the track on the map software that came with it. You have to connect the GPS unit to a camera to change the setting on the tracking frequency though. You may be able to do this on a computer I am not sure.

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.

Yah. You can leave your phone anywhere and sync the thing anytime once a day or four a times a day. Whatever you like, it'll just update what's not already there.

short of sitting home all day to watch the dogs this would be your best bet. because you can watch it from anywhere you bring your phone, which is very helpful.

You can constantly track the dog. But it will only update every few seconds, and then shows the direction and signal strength. (not like a GPS location)Note that the more you track, the sooner the battery wears down. The collar unit is always "listening". When the locator sends out a query (think "Marco"), the collar has to transmit back a reply (think "Polo"). The handheld unit then tries to determine what direction the signal came from, and what the signal strength was.Transmitting takes far more power than listening. So, constant tracking would wear the battery faster. You can constantly track the dog. But it will only update every few seconds, and then shows the direction and signal strength.
