A tag that answers back

Scroll to turn the tag, see what is inside it, learn how to pair it to your account in two steps, and watch what the app does once it is on the animal.

Inside the tag

Four parts, one job

satellite_alt

GPS receiver

Reads the animal's position — kept switched off until a location is actually wanted.

sim_card

Cellular modem and SIM

Carries every check-in over the mobile network, and sends the SMS with the map link.

memory

Controller

Wakes on schedule, decides what to report, and remembers the last instruction it was given.

battery_charging_full

Battery

Sized around the tag sleeping most of the day — which is why the GPS stays off unless you ask.

The turning object above is an illustration, not a photograph of the finished tag.

Scan & register

Two steps to make it yours

Holding the tag is not enough on its own, and neither is knowing its number. Both together are what pairs it.

1

Scan the tag

qr_code_2
photo_camera

Open Add mithun in the app and point the camera at the QR printed on the back of the tag. The tracker number fills itself in.

2

Confirm by SMS

Sent to your number

A one-time code goes to the phone number registered against that tag. Type it in and the tag is on your account.

From then on the tag checks in on its own. Give the animal a name and a photo, and it appears in your herd.

Why a stranger cannot claim your tag

The QR carries a secret that exists nowhere but that printed tag, so guessing a tracker number gets nobody anywhere. And the confirmation code goes to the number already registered against the tag — so somebody who picks up a stray and scans it sends the code straight to your handset, not theirs.

The app

Running Kapato track

Sign in with the account we set up when your tracker was paired, then add each animal. These are real screens from the app.

Your herd

Every animal with its name and photo, and how long since the tag last checked in.

  1. 1 Sign in. Kapato sets up your account when the tracker is paired to you.
  2. 2 Add a mithun. Scan the tag, give the animal a name, a colour and photos.
  3. 3 Tap Find. Choose the number to text and how often to report, and the GPS wakes.
