https://www.howtogeek.com/222869/htg-explains-what-bluetooth-tracking-devices-ar
e-and-why-you-might-want-one/
Bluetooth trackers are like really fancy high-tech reminders of where your stuff
was, can offer alerts if your stuff is currently leaving your vicinity, and the
y can help you find a lost object in your immediate environment (both by audible
alerts and proximity location) but they are not a substitute for the much more
expensive and expansive real-time tracking offered by GPS units if you need to k
eep an eye on expensive gear wherever it may end up.
It s perfect for finding lost keys and the laptop bag you always misplace at corpo
rate headquarters but it s not an effective solution for monitoring a bag with $10
,000 worth of camera equipment in it.
1) Is The Battery User Replaceable?
If you can t replace the battery then you re stuck buying a new one every time the b
attery runs out. Considering coin cell batteries cost less than a dollar replaci
ng a whole tracker for $20+ is a tough pill to swallow. Can you replace it? Rech
arge it?
2) ******************** chirp when you need to locate them, How Loud Is The Alar
m?
******************** Most important as without this, it is useless as a tracker.
This decreases battery life... Identify how is the chirping produced
3) Advertising range

4) alert you when you stray too far from the tracking tag, -- Geofencing
It s also an excellent fit for when you re carrying something you don t normally carry
(like an extra bag for work) that you might be prone to forgetting somewhere be
cause it isn t part of your normal daily routine.

4) FInd your phone feature

5) remind you where the tag was last seen --- Crowdsourced Location finding ---
This requires an exisitng infrastructure of users and
of gateways for tracking.
The premise is that when you lose your tagged object (your keys, your duffle bag
, etc.) you use the companion software on your phone to flag the bluetooth track
er as lost. Then when another user of the same software/bluetooth tracker passes
by and picks up the signal from your device you ll get a status update based on t
he new location of the tracker..
What are the chances that another person in your general geographic location is
also using the exact same tracker and software (let alone a tracker at all) and
that they ll also not just be using the software but that they ll pass by your lost
object (with the tracker still attached) within 30-100 feet and remain there lon
g enough for the tracker to ping their phone and update you with the location st
atus

The Tile
--------------------------------------
1) Excells as a tracker - it works consistently
2) Battery non-rechargable/non-replacable
3) App could use more features
4) You install the app. You press the e button for a few seconds. It chirps a litt
le song at you. That s it. No fiddling, no resetting the unit, no pairing and unpa
iring. It works.
5) Doesn't do geofencing
6) Can't set-up trusted home zones, where it stops tracking
7) It tells you where it last was -- What does this mean?? In terms of location?
8) It has a locator function to help you find the Tile once you re physically clos
e to it.
9) It has an audible alarm. ******************** Most important as without this,
it is useless as a tracker.
10) You can mark a Tile as completely lost and if other Tile users come near it
you ll get an anonymous and updated location.
The Duet
------------------------------------------------
1) The Duet has a much broader feature set than the Tile but it was a bit frustr
ating to set up.
2) Pairs fine with Android, not with iPhone
3) it wouldn t work for more than two seconds at at time and multiple reviewers on
Amazon reported the exact same lackluster experience. Only after we restarted o
ur iPhone and repaired the device did it work as advertised
4) you can press the button on the Duet to find your phone. Given that we more f
requently misplace our phone than we misplace our car keys it s really useful to c
lick the little button and have your phone immediately start announcing its pres
ence.
5) The second very useful feature is the ability to set safe zones via Wi-Fi add
resses. You can add the Wi-Fi networks at home and work to the safe list so whi
le your phone is connected to those networks it will not alert you if you are se
parated from the device.
6) Like the Tile it will show you the last location of the tagged device, it has
a locator function to help you find the device when you are physically close to
it, it also has a report-as-lost function, and you can press a button in the ph
one app to make the device beep. The beep is fairly soft and monotone but servic
eable.
7) Unlike the Tile you can replace the battery with a simple coin cell battery.
The iHere3
------------------------------------------------
1) Size wise it was the biggest tracker we tested and was, give or take, the sam
e size as the Tile and the Duet stacked together (roughly the size of a small au
tomotive key fob).
2) The two features that set the iHere3 apart from the two previous devices are
the multi-function button located in the center of the device and a rechargeable
battery.
3) ou can use it to find your phone (like the Duet s button). You can use it to tr
igger a voice recorder (on the phone not on the actual tracker) or to trigger th
e phone s camera (which makes it perfect for pairing with a camera tripod or selfi
e stick for snapshots).
4) You can also use the Car Finder feature where clicking the button on the iHere3
saves your current GPS location and then later, when you can t find your car, you
can open the iHere3 phone app and it ll point you back to your car with a simple
directional arrow and indicator showing you how many feet away the car is.
5) The iHere3 comes with a little USB cable that has a post-style terminal at th
e end you insert into the iHome3 to recharge it. The projected battery life is u
p to six months and it recharges completely in about an hour.
6) The alarm sound on the iHere3 is, by far, the loudest of three trackers we t
ested and has a simple four-note rising chime. Even when under an object or in a
bag the alarm was loud enough to be heard.

BluTracker
---------------------------------------------------------
You can attach BluTracker onto your child s backpack, your bicycle, your pet s colla
r or anything that you want to keep track of.
By using the free BluTracker app, you can easily locate your device through a fe
ature called Radar Screen. It shows you the distance between you and the BluTrac
ker.
It also has a motion detector that informs you if someone s touching your belongin
gs.

StickNFind
---------------------------------------------------------
trackable """coin-sized""""" sticker that helps you track your belongings via a
smartphone app.
It lasts up to a year
It also has a built-in speaker and tiny LED lights to help you locate it.
When in a deep mess, you can activate the lost sticker feature which informs any u
ser using StickNFind to help you locate your item. The location of the lost item
will then be emailed to you.
PebbleBee
---------------------------------------------------------
It sends alerts to your smartphone when it exceeds a certain distance from the
phone.
It is also able to relay temperature alerts and has a 9-axis motion tracker.
It is small, but carries a battery that can last up to 3 years.
PebbleBee is water-resistant and utilizes Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy to connect to
your iOS or Android phone.
Its range goes as far as 150 ft, depending on the environment and interference.
XY Find-It
-----------------------------------------------------------
As long you re within its 150 ft range (not including physical interferences), you
can detect the distance between your phone and the item you have XY attached to
.
The battery life can last up to 6 months and the developer is working hard to im
prove it so it to last for a year.
Bringrr & BringTags
-----------------------------------------------------------
BringTags have inbuilt speakers to help you locate your missing item, in case yo
u still can t find it with the directions from the app.
Also in the mix is a car charger, Bringrr which will help you check to see that
all your tagged items are with you when you start your car engine.
Linquet
-------------------------------------------------------------
It can also tell you the distance between you and your Linquet, via its Android
or iOS app.
The app uses Cloud to keep a backup of your Linquet tag locations, in case you l
ose it.
You can set the Linquet alarm profile for silent, short and long alarms dependin
g on the time and your location. T
his way you can prevent it from going off at work, when you need to be away for
a while.
Even with daily use, Linquet battery can last up to 1 year.
[$2.99/month]
Lupo
-------------------------------------------------------------
It s powerful enough to keep you in touch with your items, lock your laptop, sound
an alarm to prevent thieves from stealing your belongings and much more.
The battery lasts on average a year (or more based on usage).
It can also be used as a controller to snap photos, or as a mouse for a slide pr
esentation.

EasyFinder
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Bluetooth enabled "smart battery" is designed for AA and AAA battery-operate
d devices and lets you track up to ten devices at any given time.
It has been designed to track any battery-powered object that has an EasyFinder
rechargeable battery installed through an Android or iOS free smartphone app.
The average lifespan for the rechargeable battery is between four and12 months,
based on usage and can be recharged up to 1000 times.
The locator creates a two way communication system from your smartphone to the b
attery.
Using the free app, you can see the location of your missing object or set off a
n alert on up to 10 devices at a time.
Chipolo
-------------------------------------------------------------
with an Android or iPhone app to locate items up to 200ft away.
The replaceable battery lasts six months.
A geo-fence alerts you when the Chipolo goes out of range.
It also has a temperature sensor to indicate whether the item is indoors
or out.
