PawTracker is a GPS collar tracker for pets that uses Long Range Radio technology to provide reliable tracking even in extremely remote areas, up to 10km in open spaces.
The system includes a collar-mounted tracker and a base station that hosts a real-time web interface, letting you monitor multiple pets from a single device.
How it works
PawTracker combines a collar-mounted GPS tracker with a base station that hosts a web interface.
The tracker uses LoRa (Long Range) technology to send location data to the base station, even in areas without cellular coverage. The base station creates its own WiFi hotspot, allowing you to access a real-time map of your pets’ locations from any device nearby. If the base station is connected to the internet, you can monitor your pets remotely from anywhere.
You can also activate the LED and buzzer remotely to locate pets quickly, and track multiple animals using a single base station.
Base Station
The PawTracker base station hosts a responsive web interface that provides real-time location tracking, history playback, and device management for multiple collars.
- Live Map: It displays each pet’s position with timestamps and signal strength.
- Dashboard: Summarizes battery, connection status, and recent movements.
- Local Access: Secure local access works via the base station’s Wi‑Fi hotspot.
- Export Data: Exportable history to multiple formats so you can run your own analytics.
Designed for simplicity and reliability, the Base Station site keeps owners informed while minimizing distraction.
Tracking Collar
The PawTracker beacon is a compact, lightweight collar-mounted device with integrated LoRa and GPS capabilities.
Powered by a rechargeable LiPo battery with 8h runtime, it continuously tracks your pet's location via GPS and transmits updates to the base station using long-range LoRa communication (up to 10km).
The beacon includes an LED and buzzer for find-mode activation, allowing remote alerts when your pet wanders off. Its waterproof enclosure withstands outdoor conditions, while low-power firmware optimizes battery life through intelligent update intervals. Compact and durable, the beacon ensures reliable pet tracking without constant charging.
