SNIF Labs has unveiled a pet accessory that combines wireless sensing and social networking technologies to give dog owners peace of mind to supervise their dog's activities plus a means to socialize and develop relationships online with like-minded owners. Customizable, the tag is available in a range of colors and patterns.
The small, stylish and comfortable tag attaches to a dog's collar and records its daily movements and social encounters and then uploads them to the Internet. A secure area of the SNIF website then allows the dog owner to monitor if their dog has had a walk, played and/or napped while they are away from home.
Combining radio, software, Internet, and social networking technologies, the information recorded by the tag is sent wirelessly to the SNIF base station and then uploaded to the SNIF website where users can securely log in.
