Is it complicated ?

No, attaching the device to your pet's collar is as easy as wearing a belt it. And for connecting to your app is as easy and simple as connecting your smart phone to your car. 

Is ProximityPHM Secure?
Unlike ProximityPHM+(Plus), ProximityPHM is not a location tracker and so it provides a personal secure connection between you and your Pet using available Bluetooth technology. There is no Location Tracking of you or your pet's activity!

My Pet is already Micro-Chipped, Why do I need Proximity?

Proximity PHM is not a replacement to your existing embed micro-chip technology. It provides a proactive layer of companionship that present embedded micro-chips do not provide. 
Research indicates and Vet's confirm, that more pet owners are concerned with Pet Health than fear of loss on account of theft. 

Traditional microchipping and RFID tags are an important part of pet safety, yet a reactive technology when it comes to losing your pet. To find a lost pet using a microchip, a pet has to be found and taken to a vet or shelter with access to the right database with the owner’s correct information.

This process could take days or weeks! You will be happy to know that Proximity does not require any invasive procedures, trips to Vet or even and interfere with existing microchips embed within your Pet ! 
Proximity is designed to enable you to monitor your pet's health and limit any embed or surface EMI radiations to either you or your Pet!

Do the devices require a Cellular and/or WiFi Connection?

No. ProximityPHM is based on cutting edge PAN technology via Bluetooth V4 that does not require a WiFi Connection or monthly cellular service plans for use! However, ProximityPHM+(Plus) requires a cellular connection and comes preprogrammed so there is no action required from the user. Service Plans are available.

Are ProximityPHM and ProximityPHM+ Water Proof?

Yes. Proximity PHM is waterproof and durable (rated IPX6). It’s designed to go anywhere with your pet. The most intrepid pets can take Proximity PHM with them through water, mud, rain and snow. We do recommend wiping the device down before charging if it does take a swim!
