I have large number of pets that need to be tracked and guarded.
Need GPS tracking system which can monitor pets and large animals ( camels+sheep+cows)
I am looking for transmitter that can hold for more than 14 days without recharging.

Can any one help?

Have you tried a google search yet?
A simple google search on "gps tracking animals" gives a number of hits.
Your big problem will be to find something that will go that long without recharging; it takes battery power to do that and while it wouldn't be too hard for a large animal, it might be hard for a small animal.
Also you need to consider how the device will report back to you. Lots of the systems require cell phone service, so that would get expensive with a number of animals. Other systems use local radio, but that's limited to short distances.

How far away are you expecting to track? What kind of info are you looking for from the device?

Thanks for the reply

in my case,
the animals are located in area covered by GSM moblieservice.
I dont know about the Radio but there are many radio stations in the car's readio device.


the information needed is only determine the location. ( to make sure that animals are still in cambing area(15km*15km) )
the best method is the wrist or strap (animals are in size of humans)
thanks again..

Nice unit, 2 of the cons are a pro for use on an animal.
Hard to open simcard cover and the configuration of the panic button.
To big for a cat I think.
