How does Findster Duo+ work? 🎥

The standard Findster Duo+ ecosystem consists of 1 Guardian module and 1 Pet module, which you can use to track your pet via the Findster App on your smartphone.

How it works

Here's how the standard Findster Duo+ ecosystem works:

1. The Pet module has GPS, which will acquire a position by communicating with GPS satellites.
2. The Pet module sends its coordinates to the Guardian module via RF, using our proprietary MAZE protocol - an innovative technology exclusively developed by Findster, which allows us to eliminate the need for a cellular connection to obtain the GPS coordinates (hence no monthly fees!). MAZE allows the modules to communicate within an obtainable range of up to 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) depending on the surrounding environment.
3. The Guardian module serves as a gateway between the Pet module and your smartphone. It sends the GPS data acquired by the Pet module to your smartphone via Bluetooth - which means you should carry both the Guardian and the smartphone with you!
4. You can track your pet's location in real time using the Findster App on your smartphone!

Please note that:

• While other GPS pet trackers require cell coverage in order to communicate with your smartphone, Findster Duo+ doesn't - our MAZE technology eliminates this need, making it 100% free of monthly fees. Since it doesn't depend on telcos, Findster Duo+ also works everywhere in the world!
• You must have at least one Guardian module to be able to track a Pet module. Both modules are necessary in order for the system to work.
• A single Guardian module can track up to 3 Pet modules.

Type of communication / estimated range

Here's how the system communicates and the distances you should keep between the devices:

• Smartphone ↔️ Guardian: communication via Bluetooth, within 2 yards (2 meters).
• Guardian ↔️ Pet: communication via RF technology (using our proprietary MAZE protocol), with an estimated range up to 3 miles (4.8 kilometres). However, please note that the surrounding environment can influence the range.
• No internet or cell coverage are needed to perform tracking.
