Recommended dog anti-lost! The most popular pet locator in 2024?

1. It is a pet and a family member!

Raising a pet is actually a very tangled thing for me. Unlike when I was a child, it is more of a spiritual healing and emotional sustenance than a playmate. From the beginning of carefully checking the pet raising guide to choosing it, I devoted my meticulous care to a family member who is about to live together.

Playing, walking, and being in a daze with the little guy every day has become my daily routine. On weekends, I will take the little guy to explore stores, go hiking, and travel long distances from time to time. Feel the fragrance of the grass and the magnificence of the mountains together. But the most feared accident is that in every inadvertent moment, the little guy is not well-behaved, and sometimes he is particularly naughty. But I like its primitive nature, like nature, like running, and like exploring. So many times I am very afraid that the little guy will have an accident or injury, and it is essential to make a travel strategy in advance. The strongest chest harness and traction rope, pet-specific locator equipment, daily deworming and vaccination, and the emergency contact information of the pet DOCTOR are all indispensable.

However, when purchasing, the pet-specific locator is the one that gives me the most headache. It may be that my knowledge is limited at the beginning. After blindly following the trend and buying it, I found that it is not applicable at all, so I started the journey of acquiring knowledge about pet-specific locators. Some of them were introduced by friends and some were better.

2. Locator principle

There are many types of locators on the market. The most primitive chip-type locators, Bluetooth locators, and GPS locators all have brands that focus on pet positioning functions. But in fact, the working principles are very different. Among them, the popular categories of Bluetooth locators and GPS locators are currently the most popular styles.

- Working principle of Bluetooth locator (taking Apple AirTag as an example):

AirTag searches for nearby Apple devices through Bluetooth to obtain positioning information. When it is set to "lost mode", it will increase the frequency of reporting the location, and then through the "precise search" function and angle positioning, it can also allow the device to occur and achieve rapid positioning.

However, the disadvantage is that Bluetooth positioning does not have an active positioning function. If there are few or no Apple devices nearby, it is difficult to obtain positioning information. If you are in a village or a more remote area, you may not be able to update the positioning.

- Working principle of GPS locator:

The GPS receiver on the ground detects the spread spectrum signal sent by the GPS satellite, obtains the arrival time information through relevant calculations, and calculates the distance from the satellite to the receiver. It then calculates the spatial position of the satellite in combination with the ephemeris information broadcast by the satellite to complete the positioning calculation. The GPS receiver can receive at least 4 satellite signals anywhere in the world at any time. The GPS terminal can calculate its own three-dimensional position (latitude, longitude and altitude), movement speed and direction, and accurate time information based on the navigation information received from multiple satellites.

After the ground receives the GPS satellite signal, signal processing is required to extract the positioning information from the satellite signal. It is then transmitted to the server or client device through the 4G network.

Of course, the pet locators on the market also combine many functions exclusive to pets, such as pet motion detection, sound and light functions, safety fences and other diversified designs. They are suitable for pets that are often kept at home or often outdoors. They can monitor the activities of fur children every day, which can be regarded as another "eye" for pet owners.

But how to choose a suitable pet locator?

First, you need to understand the requirements and usage habits of yourself and your pet. For example, some pets are relatively small in size, so they are not suitable for wearing heavier pet locators. And because my pet and I need to go out and play, I will pay attention to accurate positioning while taking into account waterproof and beautiful matching properties.

1. Positioning accuracy. If you need to obtain accurate and real-time positioning, perhaps a pet positioning with real-time tracking function will be more suitable for you. Unlike Bluetooth positioning, GPS pet locators can obtain real-time location and time information faster and more accurately.

2. Check the pet's movement status. A pet locator that can collect pet movement information is simply the icing on the cake. Usually we may pay more attention to the diet and physical condition of pets, but in fact obesity and abnormal conditions are not developed in one day, but require a continuous accumulation process. A device that can record the pet's movement and mental state every day may analyze the pet's daily situation more intuitively and data-based, and customize reasonable exercise goals.

3. Electronic safety area range. It is good to be able to release the pet's nature and play on the lawn without worry, but it is also necessary to prevent accidents. Once the pet exceeds the set safety area, the pet locator can sound a warning to the pet or call the pet back through the recall voice. At the same time, the owner can receive the escape warning on the APP, and get the pet lost warning signal at the first time, which can make the whole play process more secure.

4. Adapt to multiple scenarios. Whether it is hiking in the mountains with your pet, swimming or driving a long distance, the safety of the pet can be guaranteed.
