Welcome to The World's Longest Range
Beacon
Beacon Cop is a SmartPhone APP that tracks and reports
sensors called Beacons using your phones Bluetooth Low Energy conectivity. It has been especially designed for Pet's, Animals and Flock's. The Beacon Cop APP.
runs as a foreground service and continually scans for Beacons based on your
App. settings. Beacons can be
yours or someone else who installed the Beacon Cop App. and has purchased Beacon
Cop Beacons.
Beacon Cop Beacons have a
long distance range of up to 400+ meters (+1300 ft.) both front and back.
Bluetooth Low Energy conectivity
is a
line-of-site transmission and not
in a perfect circle, but more of in a oval shape with longer range front/back
rather than side to side.
Each Beacon has a built-in temperature sensor with a −40°C to
+125°C temperature range and will display the
following image along with the actual ambient temperature. A user will only need to quickly
look at each Beacon in the App. to determine the comfort level of
their Pet or Animal.
1.
↑90° Fahrenheit and above. (Pet may be in distress!)
2.
90° - 32° Fahrenheit. (Most Pet's comform level.)
3.
↓32° Fahrenheit and below. (May be time to bring in your Pet.)
Temperature accuracy is
±2°C accuracy over the temperature range. You should only
use the temperature reading as a guide and never leave a pet in a vehicle during
the summer months. An added feature allows you to set a High Temperature in
'Settings' and then be alerted by sound if a Beacon equals or exceeds this
temperature. Check 'Help' for this feature.
Beacon Cop also shows a battery level icon for each Beacon. You can look real
quick to determine battery level. Normally the
3-volt coin battery (Lithium #2032 replaceable by user) should last 4-6+ months.
Note: During cold weather if the Beacon sensor is outside for an expended period
you may see the battery icon change from one color to a lower color. Example:
from Green 70-100% to Orange 20-70%. The reason is that the cold will discharge
a Lithium coin battery faster, so if your battery is close to the next lower
range it may change. However once you bring the sensor back into room
temperature it should recover.
1.
Battery is 70 to 100% full.
2.
Battery is approximately 20 to 70% full.
3.
Battery is below 20% full.
The Beacon sensor is a small rugged plastic case designed to be able to attach
directly to a key chain, collar, handle, carried in a pocket or anywhere you can
attach it. While not completely water proof it is water resistant. It is powered
by a 3-volt coin battery (CR2032 replaceable by user) with a life of approx. 4-6+
months.
Note: You can tell which Beacon is the closest and which is furthest away by
looking at the -dBm signal displayed for each Beacon in the Beacon Cop App. The furthest
away Beacon will have the highest -dBm signal, example: -100 dBm. Likewise the closest
will have the lowest -dBm signal, example: -45 dBm. You can also tell if a
Beacon is getting closer or further from you device. An up triangle ▲ indicated the
Beacon is moving further away, while a down triangle ▼ indicated moving towards
your device.
To determine the approximate distance your Beacon is from your device (phone),
you can click the Distance Chart button from the Home screen. A new screen will
be displayed in graphic form showing the approximate distance in meters from
your device. Keep in mind, this is only an approximate distance since trees,
walls and other obstacle can increase the actual distance of your Beacon,
espically indoors. A more accurate reading will be in open space where nothing
can obsure the signal. The
Distance Chart
will be continually updated based on your setting for Scan Interval and Scan
Seconds. Tap each bar in the chart to get Additional Information on each Beacon!
