Scout Traks – The tracker to monitoring your dog from Motorola

Now with Motorola Scout Traks, dog owners have a new way to keep an eye on their pet.

Scout Traks is a tracker capable of providing information regarding your dog's exercise, well-being and temperature. Attaching to your dog's collar, it allows you to receive real-time alerts via Like many of its rivals, alerts can be preset to alert you when your dog escapes from a predefined area.

The Scout Traks smart health smart health connected object itself weighs less than 30g. It is packaged in a waterproof silicone rubber case and has a GPS, an ambient temperature sensor and an accelerometer. The latter uses an algorithm that not only tracks your dog's exercise, but also compares data with other breeds in the app and can also be used to set long-term goals

Commenting on the temperature sensor, Dave Evans, Managing Director of Motorola Pet, said, "The temperature sensor was the direct result of research with dog owners because we have discovered that some breeds fight in hot weather and unfortunately many die. "

As Motorola reports, the Scout Traks battery can run for up to three days on a single charge, while recharging the battery to full capacity takes about an hour. To purchase the device, you will have to pay 99.99 euros. Please note, if 150 notifications per month for a year are included with the purchase of the device, you will then have to pay 19.99 euros per year to continue to benefit from this service.

Under these conditions, with such a subscription, I find that this dog tracker is immediately less interesting! Brands should really stop abusing such practices. Personally, I think that if you have to pay for a subscription in order to fully use a smart health smart health connected object, it should be free!
