Motorola introduces new Scout 5000 smartcollar for dogs

Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, Binatone have showcased the Motorola Scout 5000 dog-wearable, which is as crazy as it sounds from the name, Androidheadlines.com reported.

The Scout 5000 has a number of features to justify the $200 / £130 price tag, including GPS tracking with a geo-fence alert (this sends an alert straight to your smartphone with your dog exceeds his or her boundaries), onboard Wi-Fi and 3G, a pedometer and a wide-angle 720p resolution camera. There’s a microphone and speaker, too, so not only can you see what your dog is up to, you can hear and also talk back. The microphone has a “bark detection” mode, which can notify you without making you hear the sound.

The backbone of the technology is a platform called Hubble, described as an “Internet of Things (IoT) Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).”
