Scollar Mini is a smart modular collar with many useful features

Our lives are so eventful that we sometimes forget the simple things, even to the point where we ate for breakfast. Working, homework, socializing with friends or family takes a long time. And if we have pets, we do not always have time to even pay a little attention to them. When they get lost or start to get sick, it just becomes a blow to the owners. Today, we decided to head to Santa Rosa, California, USA, where Scollar was introduced to a smart Scollar Mini collar that could replace many other pet gadgets. It will remind the owners of the need to feed the pet, make the necessary vaccinations, carry out insecticide therapy, as well as help to find it in case of loss with the help of built-in modules.

Features of the novelty

Constant stresses at work and in social life can significantly poison a person's existence. To add to the positives, we try to get pets - dogs, cats, birds, ungulates, or any other animal to which we attach ourselves wholeheartedly. No person will be as devoted to you as an animal. So now, many people are eager to bring home at least a little pet to diversify their weekdays. Psychologists also say in one voice in favor of such a choice, because a dog or cat alone can reduce their stress levels and increase the level of endorphins (hormones of happiness), without which we simply cannot survive.

If the pet is suddenly lost, the owners simply do not find a place for themselves. Because such cases are not uncommon in our lives, some manufacturers are closely involved in developing gadgets that greatly simplify the lives of pet owners, as they help keep track of their current location at any given time. We've written about such a beautiful, spherically shaped GPS tracker, the Guardian Orb, from US developers. The device helps to track the location of your animal within a radius of as much as 16 km with precise geo-positioning, which can connect to the cellular signal if it is not within GPS range and also has high autonomy of work - 3 months without recharging (more about it can be read at the link below).

Today's novelty is an elegant and easy-to-use collar that contains modules and is fully integrated with the mobile app. It helps to track the current location of animals through GPS navigation and cell towers. The collar is equipped with motion sensors, a battery system, LED lighting, a touch screen and can even synchronize with the door open sensors when approaching pets. The manufacturer has taken care of its safe use by protecting the gadget against dust and moisture in accordance with the international standard IP68. This way, you cannot worry that the novelty will fail if the animal gets into the rain or gets dirty in the mud.

Tracking the location of animals is a map of their walks and places they most often enjoy being. The app creates predictable routes for possible favorites, based on this data so you can know where to look for them in the first place. And that's all without a monthly fee for using the system. The display shows the name of the animal, its owner's information and the address to which it should be delivered in case of accidental finding. The novelty uses passive RF technology, which allows it to synchronize with the door open sensors and open them whenever the animal is near. Accordingly, to use this option, such sensors must be installed in the home.

The application allows you to adjust the daily routine for the animal by displaying reminders on the smartphone or beeps from the collar. Yes, it sets a feeding schedule, hygienic procedures, medication, the need for vaccinations or insecticidal therapy. It is often the case that we forget whether we are feeding our pet. The collar clearly monitors, indicating the exact time it eats and displays this data on screen. LED lighting helps make the animal visible at night and can be activated automatically or switched on manually.

If your pet loses a collar, you will be notified on your smartphone with the exact location of the device. The collar tracking radius is 800 m. The novelty comes with two rechargeable batteries (one about stock) and a mobile charging station that allows you to charge it without removing it from your pet. The battery life is thus extended to 30 days. The need for charging the collar will inform you of the message in the app. New item is fully charged in one hour. The manufacturer also offers a Wi-Fi base station for a fee, which allows you to not always connect the collar to the GPS system, but to use its signal. Thus, the battery charge of the collar lasts for 30 days without recharging.

The novelty has a solid fabric base and does not fall off the neck of your pet, even with sharp movements. It is intended for animals with a neck circumference of 20 - 25 cm or 25 - 31 cm. For larger breeds, a model called Scollar Trek is used. It is available in 4 sizes: 31 - 41 cm, 41 - 51 cm, 51 - 61 cm and 61 - 71 cm. In general, it has the same set of available features as its smaller version.
