Why Retrieva?

There are important advantages afforded by the Retrieva collar over any other dog tracking product. These include:

Design

  1. An integrated and comfortable design that includes automated tamper and anti–theft alerts, as well as being lockable and made of anti-cut webbing.
  2. Adjustable sizes ranging from 34cm to 66cm.
  3. 3 advanced tracking technologies, including a top quality quad band modem, latest SIRFIII GPS chipset and 433mHz RF transceiver
  4. Waterproof to IP67 standards – means your dog CAN go swimming with it on!
  5. Market leading battery life enhancement with the unique ICyou™ charger and base station system – continuous protection for up to 30 days between charge, recommended charge just once per week
  6. Optimised sky–view antenna placement to maximise performance in difficult terrain

Tracking and Location

  1. **New** - your dog's location can now be shown on any web-enabled smart phone, including the iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Google, Windows Mobile (Android) and many others.
  2. If your phone is 'GPS-enabled' then you can also see your location relative to that of your dog, as well as directions to your dog's last reported location.
  3. **Exclusive** - also included in the price is the amazing ViewRanger topographical phone–based mapping and navigation system (currently for use on Symbian 60 phones including many Nokia handsets) - see www.Viewranger.com for a full list of applicable handsets and countries
  4. If you don't own a smart phone then you can still receive location coordinates by text message, as well as track your dog live on the internet or by using a directional RF receiver - typically used by specialists.
  5. **New** - not only does the collar tell you where your dog is, but it now also tells you how fast it is running, and in which direction! (due March 2010)
  6. **New** - the collar can record up to 7,000 locations and data within its memory so that you can see EXACTLY what your dog has been up to whilst out of sight! (due March 2010)
  7. International coverage using quad band modem, internationally enabled or local SIM card (conditions apply) and GPS Convenience & Lifestyle

Convenience & Lifestyle

  1. Panic button for the owner (with 'handshake' confirmation from recipients) should you need to alert friends or family of any incident or accident, together with your location whilst out with your dog
  2. A huge menu of automated alerts to choose from sent straight to your phone – including left home and arrived home, low or flat battery, panic alert, and geofence breach
  3. 3 types of geofence (virtual fence) alerts – Home based (it can tell you when it leaves or arrives home), Location based (lets you know if your dog moves a given distance from its current location) and Map based (alerts you if your dog leaves an area defined on a web-based map – for example around a farm)
  4. Has LED-based performance feedback, so you can see how good signal strength is
  5. Every function on the collar can be completely controlled from your mobile phone
  6. Amaze yourself by tracking and evaluating every aspect of your dog's life by using the 'My Retrieva' web-based mapping panel and system (due March 2010)
  7. Upgradeable 'over the air' so that any enhancements can be automatically downloaded onto the device rather than having to send it back to Retrieva for upgrade
  8. Excellent customer service and support

It is designed to be the best, and IT IS THE BEST! Don't just take our word for it - see what our customers and the reviewers are saying!!
