It is always hard for dog owners to carefully contain their dogs while at the same time allowing them to roam free. GPS collars and virtual fences can be quite useful in these circumstances. The Halo Collar 5 is useful since it has been developed to utilize GPS to monitor the dogs location and distance from the virtual border. The Halo Collar 5 is a GPS Dog Collar and it has a few capabilities to help you keep tabs on your dog while it explores. One of the features that deserves some notice is Halo Collar 5 Precision+. Sarah Dean will try the product with Zion.
Precision+ can achieve location precision to two feet under ideal conditions using ground corrected GPS. Such precision would be important to assist follow the dog’s movements as it approaches a virtual limit. This method also works with the Wireless Dog Fence where the owner may establish a barrier for his/her dog without the need to erect a physical border. But GPS technology is one of those things that doesn’t always perform the same way under various situations. There are several barriers in the surrounding region that may interfere with the accuracy of the system, such as hills, trees, buildings and other things.
The collar will also track Zions GPS position 20 times a second. So, the position of Zion will be continually updated by the technology when he is moving. Here, the system can calculate Zions location relative to the fake barrier. The collar will collect data to determine when to send feedback when the dog approaches closer to the virtual fence or crosses it. That manner the constant updates are expected to let the technology react based on Zion's current position and not the previous one.
Sarah wouldn't be able to only look at the technical performance of the positioning system. Also, she will see how Precision+ works in real world circumstances with Zion. The actual environment may be very different from the controlled studies. Especially when the dog is traveling from an open place to a space with trees or buildings and other possible barriers. In this sense, the observation of the collar operating in different settings can be valuable for the owners of Precision+.
To summarize, the concept of Precision+ is that it claims to enhance the accuracy of GPS tracking by using corrective GPS and additional location updates. The collar tracks the position of Zion 20 times a second, giving constant information on the pet’s whereabouts and how close he is to the virtual boundary. “We will be testing the device in real-life conditions to see how it performs in a variety of environments.
