LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 (UPI) — The International Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas went to the dogs with the unveiling of a “smart
collar” outfitted with a GPS tracker and a video camera.
Motorola unveiled the Scout 5000 smart collar at the
trade show and demonstrated how the canine-mounted device includes a GPS
tracker, WiFi connectivity and a 720p camera that beams video to the pet
owner’s smartphone.
The wearable for pets also includes a feature to track
exercise and a speaker to allow owners to talk to their pooches through their
phones.
The company also unveiled the Scout 2500, a smaller
version of the smart collar that does away with the video camera to make its
size more suitable for smaller dogs.
The collar was developed in partnership with app designer
Hubble.
The Scout 5000 is scheduled to be released in June with a
$199 price tag, while the Scout 2500 will be priced at $99.
