The FarmRanger app is specifically designed to work with our livestock security collars (GSM or satellite connectivity). It informs you when your animals are exhibiting abnormal behaviour, typically during a predator attack or theft attempt, and enables you to then track the affected herd with live GPS tracking on a map in the app. Receive instant alarm notifications when your animals are disturbed, draw virtual borders with our Geofences for added security or general management, and customise the app to your needs. This proactive system enables you to be one step ahead โ to act early before losses occur, and to protect what matters most.
