Does Airtag Work As A Pet Tracker?

Many pet owners put airtag can be used as a animal tracking device. Because it's small and lightweight, it can be easily mounted on your pet's collar without being too much of a burden on your pet. AirTag uses Bluetooth technology to communicate with nearby Apple devices, which means that if someone else with an iOS device is near your pet, their device can help locate and upload your pet's position. If you configure AirTag to associate with your iPhone, you'll be alerted when your pet loses connection with your iPhone. Although AirTag has the above advantages, it is not quite the same as a professional animal tracking device.

 

There are many disadvantages of using airtag as a pet tracker:

 

1. Limited location range: AirTag's location function relies on Bluetooth, so its range is relatively limited, usually within a few dozen meters. This means that location information can only be obtained if there are other people with iOS devices nearby.

2. Not for long distances: If your pet travels far beyond the range of other iOS devices in the vicinity, AirTag won't be able to provide a real-time location.

3. Lack of real-time tracking: AirTag does not offer real-time tracking like professional animal tracking device, so it may not be the best choice for locating your pet accurately and consistently.

4. Expensive: AirTag, as a bluetooth pet tracker, is expensive. If you want to experience the same features of AirTag, but do not want to spend a high price. We recommend experiencing the bluetooth pet tracker made by OMNI PETLIFE. This bluetooth pet tracker has the same function as AirTag, you can use Find My network to realize location tracking. And the cost is lower than AirTag.

AirTag is a small locator introduced by Apple that was originally designed to help users track and locate easily lost items such as keys and wallets. It was not specifically designed to track pets. Although AirTag can be used temporarily as a pet locator. However, if you need specialized pet locating capabilities, you should use a specially designed animal tracking device

 

Range and Accuracy of GPS Pet Locator

 

1. GPS Pet Locator Range: GPS pet locators provide worldwide location and work wherever there is a GPS signal. This means that pets can be tracked in different geographic locations, but it should be noted that some special terrains, buildings or shelters may affect the signal reception.

2.GPS Pet Locator's Positioning Accuracy: The accuracy of GPS animal tracking device is usually between a few meters and tens of meters. More advanced devices can provide higher accuracy.

 

GPS animal tracking device can provide real-time positioning and can be set to update the location information every few minutes or longer. The frequency of updates affects how instantly you can get your pet's location. Most GPS pet locators can provide you with relatively accurate information about your pet's location. Tracking your pet's location using a GPS pet locator is more efficient, accurate and faster than airtag.
