GPS cat collar

Some people have never even thought of buying a GPS cat collar because they keep their kitty indoors or because letting it wander in the garden doesn’t worry them. They don’t know that they are missing out on a device with so many other features, beyond GPS tracking, and that can be useful for anyone on a day-to-day basis. The manufacturers of these accessories have taken major development steps and have transformed simple GPS trackers into modern devices with countless features.

In the animal tracker sector, competition breeds innovation as companies imitate and improve on features developed by their competitors. For this reason, the products available on the market tend to be similar, at least on paper, and even at their most basic form they all have the same technologies. The differences, of course, lie with technical manufacturing and the engineering of the devices to contain their size etc., and with the apps used to interface between the user and the collar.

GPS cat app features

Smartphone apps, which are available for Android and iOS, substitute the handheld receiver of some hunting dog kits, since every smartphone is equipped with all the necessary technology for tracking and communicating with the GPS cat collar. Instead of carrying an additional device around, it’s much more efficient to have an app which uses your smartphone to allow you to track and interact with the collar. The collected data can be used to contribute to various features: virtual fences and leashes, activity trackers, activity diaries, etc. These are all features of the app that are based on algorithms which allow GPS combined with Wi-Fi to create virtual borders. If this border is crossed, a notification is sent, and at the same time you can use the virtual leash by combining GPS and Bluetooth, which warns you if the cat collar crosses over a certain range.
