Bluetooth trackers can be used to locate lost items. They can typically be tracked up to 400 feet (or 120 meters) away. This range is reduced if there are obstacles between the device and the item. To locate your items lost, Bluetooth trackers are compatible with various apps. They can also be used to track down your pets.
Apple's AirTag
If you're looking for a bluetooth tracker that works with Apple products, Apple's AirTag is a great choice. It can be used to keep track of your mobile device's location with the help of NFC-capable devices such as the iPhone or iPad. AirTag will not share your location with anyone. However, it can use this data for mapping your location. You can also make the AirTag "lost" to prevent it from being tracked by other devices.
AirTag is a small Bluetooth tracker with a button shape that uses CR2032 AA batteries. You can personalize it with up to 4 characters. Apple restricts the number of characters you can add to your emoji.
TrackR Pixel
The TrackR pixel Bluetooth tracker has LED lights and a loud sound. It can even find your items in the dark. When it locates your items, it can send you a message via text. It has a 10-foot range, making it easy to use in different environments.
The TrackR Pixel Bluetooth tracker can locate lost objects such as phones. It connects via Bluetooth to your phone and displays the object's location as soon it becomes 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 device tracker is an excellent way to keep track or lost items. It features an app that will ring a phone or misplaced item if it is nearby. You will also be notified if an item is lost.
The tracker is water-resistant IPX5 protected and has replaceable batteries. The battery lasts about a year and does not need to be charged all the time. It lacks the U1 chip that is required to provide precise directions. While the Chipolo One Bluetooth tracker continues to be a leader on the market, here are some things you should consider before buying one.
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag
The Galaxy SmartTag Bluetooth tracking device works with Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets. It follows the Tile's lead, which revolutionized Bluetooth tag market. The Samsung SmartTag has its limitations. One of the drawbacks is that it's only compatible with Samsung devices.
For the Galaxy SmartTag to work, you will need a Galaxy smartphone with Android 8.0 (or higher), at least 2GB of RAM, as well as the SmartThings mobile app. After pairing, your tag will appear in the SmartThings app on your other devices. Samsung Galaxy SmartTag is compatible only with Android 8 and higher devices. It does not possess a lot intelligence.
Tile
The new Find with Tile option allows you to register Bluetooth device for tracking and finding them. Bluetooth-enabled Sennheiser Momentum wireless headphones and Bose headphones can now be registered to track. This new feature does not require any hardware modifications and works with the existing Bluetooth chip on headphones. 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. Once the app is connected, it can update its position. Tile, however, does not offer GPS location services, as the AirTag does.
