Vienna, VA and Las Vegas, NV - January 4,
2014 — Today, Alarm.com and Tagg GPS Pet Tracker announce the launch of
Smart Pet Tracking, a connected solution that brings together security and
awareness for the home and the entire family. With Smart Pet Tracking powered
by Alarm.com, homeowners can use Tagg GPS Plus to keep tabs on their pet's activity
and location from the Alarm.com mobile application. Millions of homes powered
by Alarm.com can easily add Smart Pet Tracking by acquiring a Tagg GPS Plus
device through their authorized Alarm.com Service Provider; available in the
first quarter of 2015. Tagg GPS Plus, a waterproof, on-collar GPS
tracking, activity monitoring and temperature sensing device for pets, expands
Alarm.com's large ecosystem of connected devices. Alarm.com's powerful Smart
Home platform brings together connected devices from across the home in a
unified experience.
"The Smart Home helps
protect and manage the things people care about most, and pets are critical to
that mission. We're excited to continue to expand the breadth of devices available
on our platform with the addition of the Tagg GPS Smart Tracker." said
Alison Slavin, co-founder and Senior Vice President of Alarm.com. "Adding security and peace-of-mind for the family
pet to Alarm.com's offering makes perfect sense considering more than 10
million pets are lost each year in the U.S."
Smart Pet Tracking uses Tagg's proven technology to
report pet activity levels and uses the nation's largest wireless network to
provide immediate notification of a pet's GPS location. From a single mobile
app users can check on pets with real-time video and access a range of home
automation features. Custom lock codes
and alerts allow their pet caretaker to easily and securely come and go, or
notify the owner if the caretaker failed to arrive.
"When it comes to the value of the secure connected
home, the well-being of pets is at the top of the list for most families," said
Scott Neuberger, chief executive officer of Tagg GPS Pet Tracker. "Together
with Alarm.com, we are continually imagining, developing and integrating technology
to reduce the number of things people worry about, and increasing their level
of remote home management."
Smart Pet Tracking will be available in the first
quarter of 2015. The millions of homes powered by Alarm.com can easily add
Smart Pet Tracking by acquiring a Tagg GPS Plus device through their authorized
Alarm.com Service Provider.
