Updating your collars

Updated 

A new version of your collars' internal software is released from time to time. The update is started from the app, via your phone's Bluetooth, and takes about 5 minutes per collar.

Available on Android only
Updating collars from the app is not available on iPhone. If you only have an iPhone, use the Android phone of a partner or an employee, or contact our team.

Spotting an available update:

The app lets you know: a blue banner appears at the top of the screen.

  2. Follow the steps shown in the app.

The update takes about 5 minutes.

One collar is enough to get started
There is no need to update all your collars one by one: the collar you have just updated passes the new version on to the others.

Point Details
Your data is kept The update only affects the collar software. Detections and history remain intact.
Nothing to do in the app There is no need to log out and log back in: the new version appears on its own.
No intermediate step From version 1.1, you go straight to 1.4, without installing the intermediate versions.
Visible to everyone The update is linked to the farm, not to a person: all users of the account can see the progress.
Several people at once is possible Two people can start updates at the same time, on different batches or not.
