Bluetooth trackers enable you to locate lost items wirelessly. They usually have a range of up to 400 feet or 120 meters. If obstacles exist between the item and the device this range may be reduced. Apps can be used to locate lost items using Bluetooth trackers. They can also be used for tracking down pets.
Apple's AirTag
Apple's AirTag is a Bluetooth tracker that works with Apple products. The AirTag can be used to track your mobile device's location using NFC-capable devices like the iPhone and iPad. While the AirTag doesn’t share your location data with anyone, it does use that data to map your current location. You can also make the AirTag "lost" to prevent it from being tracked by other devices.
AirTag is a button-shaped Bluetooth tracker. It runs on CR2032 cells for power. If you wish, you can have the AirTag engraved with up four characters. Apple limits the number of emojis you can add, so it is possible to add more.
TrackR Pixel
The TrackR pixel Bluetooth tracker has LED lights and a loud sound. It can help you find your items even when it is dark. It can also send you a text message when it finds your items. It has a range of ten feet, so it is easy to use in a variety of environments.
The TrackR Pixel Bluetooth tracker can locate lost objects such as phones. It connects with your phone via Bluetooth and displays its location whenever it is within range. The tracker is able to extract GPS data from your device and then send it back to the Pixel.
Chipolo One
The Chipolo One Bluetooth tracking device is a great way of keeping track of lost items. It comes with an app that will call a phone or misplaced item when it is close by. It also features a feature that notifies you if your item has been lost.
This tracker comes with replaceable batteries and a water-resistant IPX5 rating. The battery lasts approximately one year and doesn't need to be charged constantly. It does not have a U1 Chip, which is needed for precise directions. While the Chipolo One is still one of the top Bluetooth trackers on the market, there are a few things you should keep in mind before buying it.
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag
The Galaxy SmartTag Bluetooth tracking device works with Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets. It follows in the footsteps the Tile, which revolutionized Bluetooth tracking. However, the Samsung SmartTag does have some drawbacks. One of those drawbacks is its lock to Samsung devices. It makes it difficult to use with other brands.
The Galaxy SmartTag requires a Galaxy phone running Android 8.0 or above, with at least 2GB RAM and the SmartThings application. After pairing, your tag will appear in the SmartThings app on your other devices. Samsung Galaxy SmartTag works with Android 8 or higher devices. However, it does not have much intelligence.
Tile
With the new Find with Tile feature, you can register Bluetooth devices for tracking and find them. Bluetooth-enabled Sennheiser Momentum Bluetooth headphones and Sennheiser Momentum Bluetooth wireless can now all be registered for tracking. The Bluetooth chip in the headphones is used to enable this new feature. The technology has been used by many companies including HP and Fitbit with Inspire 2.
Tile uses Bluetooth technology to connect to an application on a mobile phone. The app can then update its location once it is connected. Tile does not have GPS location services like the AirTag.
