- Can the WatchHound be used to locate cell phones?
No, because the WatchHound unit is deployed on a fixed wall, which precludes the possibility to "triangulate" the source of RF signals. By contrast, a hand-held cell detector can locate cellphones by taking two or more bearings (or, Lines of Position) of the source.

-
- Can many WatchHound units be used to monitor a large area simultaneously ?
Yes, this is possible by deploying the WatchHound Application Software package which allows the user to monitor multiple WatchHound units fron a PC screen.

- Can the WatchHound run out of power?
No, because the WatchHound does not use batteries, it derives its power either over a PoE Ethernet port or is powered by an AC adaptor.
-
-
- Can the WatchHound store data?
No because it does not have to, since it is networked over Ethernet.
-
-
- What kind of antenna is used by the WatchHound?
The WatchHound can be deployed either by an Omnidirectional or Directional antenna. When deployed at large inner open spaces the Omnidirectional antenna would be used. When deployed in corridors or otherwise constricted spaces a Directional antenna could be more efficient.
-
-
- Does the WatchHound provide audible or visual alerts ?
Yes, it will provide a voice alert as well as a visual alert on its LCD display.
