Girafus Cat Tracker RF finder longest Range up to 1600 ft lightest pet safety tracking device only 8gr small pets dog Pro-track-tor Pet Tracker for 4 CATS

I saved my cat from trees and trapped behind sheds three times thank to this little gem. Let me point out the pros and cons of its approach. Pros: - Extremely accurate. Once you lock in, it will bring you to your cat within centimeters. GPS units are accurate only to a few meters. They will bring you nearby, but if the radius is 10 meters you might not get close enough to find him hiding behind a shed. - No subscription required. Works out of the box. No fees. Nothing. Big winner for me. - Battery lasts a very long time. GPS units need to be charged every 2 or 3 days. This unit need to be recharged only every 15 days. Also big winner for me. - Works even when indoor. GPS units can lose connection if the cat gets trapped in an area with no access to the sky. Cons: - You won't have a phone app with a nice pinpoint view. It's like a "hot/cold" game. The receiver will beep more and more the closer you are. Finding the cat may require some triangulation and thinking. - The emitter is tiny, but still quite bulky. Most of the size is due to the battery, which is a normal rechargeable coin battery. Cat does not seem to mind though. - The emitter is rather rugged and survived well in the wild, but to replace the battery you need to unscrew it using tiny little screws that are easy to lose. - Pressing the button on the detector will make the emitter beep to locate the cat more easily, or to call him back for food, but the beep volume is rather weak. You can definitely hear it if you are within a few meters and it's silence around, but still not really a strong sound. - Realistic range is around 50 meters, 100 meters in open space conditions, but honestly you won't need more unless someone steals the cat. Cats never really go far from the house, and in general even if they are out of range a brief walk will cover enough area to locate it. Overall, excellent product that gets the job done easily and reliably, with only minor usability flaws.

Bought 4 tags for 3 cats + spare. Worked out of the box, but No1 tag stopped working after 2hrs on cat No1. Worked again after opening/closing tag. After much phaffing eventually diagnosed a dodgy battery connection so asked for a replacement. In the meantime tag No4 was used on cat No1. Tags No2, 3 & 4 worked perfectly. When replacement tag arrived it had to be bound to handset in position No1. Turns out this unbinds tags No2, 3 & 4 which must be re-bound in sequence. Instructions warn of this BUT as last line in binding steps :-( Unlucky for me cat No1 comes home with no collar and no tag No4! So I can't rebind it and I can't scan for it because it is unbound, so its lost! Now I have no spare and its another £25 for a single new tag. Range is a good usable 100M + in my neighbourhood where there are well spaced detached houses, but direction finding is tricky when the green led often flashes in more than one direction. Best to turn 360 degrees slowwwly. I've had an original Loc8tor (grey handset and lozenge shaped tags) for over 6 years which was 100% reliable on 2 cats with excellent direction finding, but no longer enough range for my new wandering pussy. Plus the original tags have dwindled after cats occasionally lost their collar and replacement lozenge tags no longer available. I have tried and returned the new design Loc8tor Tabcat with the black credit card sized handset and button tags. Be warned, they are rubbish. The tags constantly lose battery connection. So, in summary, the Girafus is the best RF tag system I have used. GPS, in my view, is overrated and expensive. I recharge my tag batteries every two weeks because I rely on the device a fair bit. Consequently I have to replace 2 x AAA batteries in handset every 2 or 3 weeks. For me it's worth it for the range.

Purchased this based on numerous 'rave' reviews and waiting two weeks for delivery my initial thoughts were 'this seems okay'. BUT, within two hours the first tag had desynchronised from the main handset. I followed the online videos on how to synchronise the tags to the handset, and things just got worse (despite following the instructions exactly). Now both tags have an issue. They are both paired, respond to a signal from the handset - as they both have a flashing led when I press the search button- but they don't beep when I hold the button down, and the hand unit doesn't start trying to locate them (the lights flash once after 20 seconds then everything goes to sleep). After trying to pair the handset and tags seven times, the issues still occur. I've even changed batteries on everything. Despite being within sight of the tags, and less than 5 metres away from them, the handset cannot track or even start searching for either of the two tags. I've requested a refund or repair but have still to hear back from the supplier, and based on other reviews my guess is I'll either be ignored, or have to send the unit back at my own expense then refused a refund because the packaging is open. Everything about the product feels cheap. All of the components are thin plastic or flimsy battery contacts and not what I expected for £85. The screws on the tags do not sit flush, neither do the buttons on the handset (they all appear to be at different heights). The pairing process requires you to have three hands. And don't get me started on the battery charging unit - the USB cable is 15cm long (way too short), the charging compartment is a nightmare to open (it feels like you're going to break it), the battery insertion is from the opposite to how it's displayed in the instructions.

Nachdem einer meiner Kater für mehrere Tage verschwunden war, habe ich mich zum Kauf eines Senders entscheiden. Ich habe mich für den Funksender entscheiden, da der Anhänger hier kleiner und leichter als bei der GPS-Variante ist. Außerdem kann das Signal auch in einem geschlossenen Raum gefunden werden (z.B Garage) Ich habe die Peilsender nun seit 2,5 Wochen. Ich habe sie an Sicherheitshalsbändern ohne Probleme befestigen können. Da meine beiden Kater keine großen Fans der Halsbänder sind und sie manchmal "verlieren", hatte ich schon 4mal die Gelegenheit, die Suchfunktion zu testen. 😆🙄 Und ich bin begeistert. Man muss am Anfang der Suche an den verschiedenen Standorten etwas warten, da es sein kann, dass das Signal erst nach einer Minute erfasst wird. Aber dann wird man mit Hilfe der Lichtsignale wunderbar in die richtige Richtung geleitet (den Ton lasse ich hier aus, da er meiner Meinung nach keinen Mehrwert bringt und nur nervt) Wenn man dann in der Nähe des Bands ist, kann man vom Sender am Halsband einen Piepston losschicken. Das ist super hilfreich, da man so zum Beispiel auch Sender findet, die unter etwas/ in etwas verborgen sind und man sich hier mit dem Gehör meiner Meinung nach leichter tut. Batterie halt bis jetzt trotz mehrere Suchläufe wunderbar. Ein Batterieladegerät für die Knopfbatterien wird aber auch mitgeliefert. Für den Empfänger sind klassische AAA mitgeliefert worden.

Ik woon buiten op 2 hectare land. Mijn kater zwerft graag rond maar ik kan hem altjd binnen een paar minuten vinden, zelfs als hij ergens binnen is. Geweldig

Je retrouve facilement mon nouveau chat qui découvre les alentours de mon lotissement. Mon vieux chien est facile à trouver également. Lorsque je dois partir au travail ou autre, je sors avec le récepteur autour du coup en mettant la fonction sonore qui permet de gagner du temps car les leds lumineuses ne suffisent pas toujours, surtout quand je prends mon vélo pour partir à leur recherche. 100% de réussite à chaque fois et en seulement 5 minutes maxi. Prévoir de charger les piles CR2032 avec le chargeur fourni, 1 fois par semaine. Prendre de suite 2 émetteurs si 2 animaux etc... 4 émetteurs possibles pour 1 récepteur, c'est économique et pas d'abonnement à payer !! Mes enfants ont pris goût au système, c'est même devenu un jeu de partir à leur recherche ! Je recommande.

C'est le deuxième que je prend, cette fois ci complet. Dommage je n'ai pas pu paramétrer sur les deux boîtier.

Pour un chat de gouttière qui parcourt des kilomètres ce n'est pas suffisant, par contre pour un chat qui ne s'éloigne ca cela fonctionne très bien, je l'ai testé sur mes trois chats, je les ai lâchés dans la nature et les ai retrouvés en 2 min
