Why the A1 Active Roam Just Works
Rugged IP67 Build — Rain, Dust, Mud, No Problem
Working dogs don’t stop for weather.
Neither does the A1 Active.
It keeps tracking through downpours, dam swims, and bush crawling without frying itself.
4G Tracking That Actually Works in the Field
GPS + GLONASS + WiFi + LBS means you still get location even when one signal drops.
Your dog disappears over a ridge? Still trackable.
Deep bush? Still trackable.
Estate perimeter? Still trackable.
Long-Life Battery That Can Handle Real Workdays
1300mAh battery built for long runs, not schoolyard strolls.
Less charging. More tracking.
Exactly what you want on a working dog.
Anti-Tamper Collar Lock — Because Escapes Happen
Security dogs, hunting dogs, farm dogs… they all find trouble.
This lock stops the tracker being tugged off or shaken loose.
If someone tries to remove it, you keep tracking anyway.
Real-Time Tracking + Route History
See where your dog is right now.
See where your dog has been for the last 90 days.
Great for training patterns, patrol routes, and “where the hell did he go this time?” moments.
Built for Large Breeds & Working Dogs
Boerboels. German Shepherds. Malinois. Ridgebacks.
Any dog with a job to do.
The A1 Active fits securely, stays put, and doesn’t shake loose in the field.

Who It’s For
The A1 Active Roam isn’t built for handbag dogs or weekend walks.
It’s built for dogs that work, roam, guard, run, and push gear to its limits.
If that sounds like your dog, this is their tracker.
✔ Free-Roaming & Outdoor Dogs
If your dog spends more time outside than inside, this is the right tier.
Rain, dust, mud, heat — no problem.
✔ Escape Artists & “Fence Thinkers”
Some dogs treat boundaries as suggestions.
The A1 Active gives you GPS + Wi-Fi fencing and alerts the moment they break the rules.
✔ Adventure & Trail Dogs
Hiking, camping, off-road weekends, long-distance runs — it’s built to take knocks and stay locked to the collar.
✔ Large Breeds That Need Gear That Won’t Break
Regular pet trackers aren’t made for size or power.
This one is.
Secure mount, anti-tamper lock, and a battery that doesn’t fall over after a day.
✓ Active, High-Energy Dogs
Dogs that run, roam, patrol, and cover ground throughout the day.
Built to keep up with constant movement and regular outdoor activity.
✓ Outdoor & Large-Property Dogs
Ideal for dogs that spend time on plots, smallholdings, estates, and open spaces — where distance and terrain matter more than backyard boundaries.
✓ Owners Who Prioritise Movement
If your main concern is keeping track of an active dog that’s always on the move, this tracker is designed for that job.

How the A1 Active Roam Works
The A1 Active does its job without fuss. Here’s the straight, real-world workflow — no tech waffle.
1. Insert SIM → Power On
Pop in a Nano SIM that supports data + caller ID + VoLTE.
Hold the button for a couple of seconds — it vibrates, lights up, and you’re online.
2. Pair With the App
Scan the code or enter the device ID.
That’s it — live tracking starts immediately.
3. Clip It On, Lock It In
Fit the tracker to your dog’s collar using the magnetic anti-tamper system.
It stays on until you remove it.
4. Real-Time Tracking Starts
The device uses GPS + GLONASS + Wi-Fi + LBS to keep you updated:
In open areas → GPS dominates
Around buildings → Wi-Fi assists
Signal gaps → LBS fills in
You always get a location, even when conditions aren’t perfect.
5. Auto-Logs Every Movement
Every step, patrol, run, or wander is logged for 90 days.
You can check any route, any day, whenever you want.
6. Smart Alerts Keep You Updated
If your dog leaves a boundary, goes offline, triggers SOS, or drops battery — you get an alert instantly.
7. Control Everything Remotely
From the app you can:
Reboot the device
Switch LEDs on/off
Trigger ringtone to locate
Change update intervals
Filter Wi-Fi/LBS
Power off remotely
No fiddling with the device itself.
8. Recharge When Needed
Magnetic cable snaps on, charges quick, no ports to break, and stays waterproof.
Ready to Track Like a Pro?
Some dogs need more than a basic tracker — they need gear that can keep up.
If your dog works, roams, guards, or disappears into the bush… this is the one that won’t let you down.
