Just like Martha, I need to know if my little Rascal has wander outside of his home boundary. I need a little collar that I could place on him that would signal my base unit whenever he leaves his confinement zone. No zapping, just beeping.
Where's Waldo?

Geofencing is too expensive for this application. I need something cheap with short range. GPS technology is far too complex to be used for this idea. |
|
| |
There should be something in this [link] you could jury rig. |
|
| |
Agreed and likely not accurate enough but the term can probably still be used to describe a range of technologies that map-bind a geographic area without the use of a physical perimeter. |
|
| |
Anything where the boundaries can be changed through software rather than by physically moving a perimeter definition can probably be called geofencing. |
|
| |
A simpler method might be that the absence of a signal from the collar would initiate a warning from the base unit. This idea is still mushy in the middle. |
|
| |
Depending on signal attenuation is very mushy. |
|
| |
Reminder: This idea does not beep to Martha; it beeps to her captor so he can go after her when she gets too far away. |

does it come with prison knit poncho? |
|
| |
If your cordless phone knows that it's out of range & can tell you that it is, I bet that a similar technology could be used to make a collar like this. |
|
| |
They have a GPS collar for $350 +$18/mo. |

I think I'm missing the point of this. So the base unit beeps when your dog is gone. Does that somehow help you find your dog and/or keep your dog from running away? How about a collar that beeps, or says in a stern voice, "Go home, Fido. Bad dog." |

[Worldg...] I let my little Martha out to pee [and/or #2] every once in a while. If she wanders off, this here contraption thing will start beeping. It lets me know I have to go get her. She stays in the house most of the time. Usually, all I have to do is call her and she comes back home. No stern voice required. |
