Vulture System's has now combined its same long range, two way communication system with the ability to interface the new Vulture Connected Handheld directly to your smartphone (iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watch). This allows the ability to still monitor your ice fishing tip ups, tip downs, rattle reels, bank fishing poles, traps, etc. still at the same long distance as before (up to one mile). When your sensor goes into alarm, it will immediately transmit the alarm directly to the handheld which will then push the alarm immediately to the Vulture Connect App. This allows for the ability to have louder alarms from your smartphone while still allowing for the ability to control your sensors from the waterproof Vulture Connected Handheld. Each sensor can be assigned a unique name to indicate the location or even add details of what bait was used. The sensor alarms can be customized to play a voice message or custom sound file upon going into alarm. Upon making a catch the user has the option to record the catch and indicate the type of fish caught, weight, length, GPS location, notes, photograph, and weather reports. Upon completion of a fish log the user has the ability to easily share the catch with friends via a number of different methods such as SMS, email, and Facebook! The user has the ability to check sensors, turn on the sensor white lights, and monitor sensors directly from the Vulture Connected Handheld or the Vulture Connect App. When new features are added to the Vulture Connected Handheld the user can easily update the handheld firmware with the push of a button directly from the Vulture Connected App! See www.vulturesystems.com for your details! We can't wait to see your #vulturecatch in the near future.
