Differences from Bluetooth trackers
Bluetooth trackers use your smartphone's location to track your device. They are extremely lightweight and low power consumption, making them ideal for searching for lost items at short distances.
AlterLock is equipped with stand-alone communications and GPS, so it can be tracked anywhere in the communications area.
Differences from GPS trackers
GPS trackers are good for recording travel routes because they frequently acquire location information; GPS has very high power consumption and often runs for tens of hours at most.
AlterLock uses GPS in conjunction with an accelerometer only in the event of theft, so it can be tracked for weeks.
