Most lawn owners praise the benefits of having a robot lawn mower. It automates lawn mowing and keeps the lawn perfectly manicured at a minimal cost.
At the same time, they are also concerned about the mower's safety. It's undoubtedly an investment for lawn care, but what if someone takes your mower away?
Navimow addresses these issues with its Anti-Theft. Through multiple safety features, it ensures no one can try to steal your mower or take it away from the lawn boundaries. Let's understand what these features are and how they safeguard your mower.
1) GPS Tracking
Navimow lawn mowers are equipped with real-time GPS tracking. With the help of Network RTK, mowers can determine the precise GPS location that is accurate to an inch.
Users can see the live location on the Navimow app. It works even under trees, around buildings, in open areas, and in narrow spaces. It provides high-accuracy GPS positioning over wide areas and constantly changing conditions. Thus, no matter where the mower is, you know its exact location.
Because of the Network RTK, the mower is always connected to the best signal source. It's compatible with multiple certified Network RTK providers. That's why it automatically connects to the nearest and strongest signal source. It ensures optimal coverage and consistent accuracy.
The mower achieves incredible accuracy by combining multiple navigation technologies, such as LiDAR and vision. It empowers the mower to know its exact location without having any boundary wires, base stations, or antennas.
If the mower runs out of battery and switches off on its way back to the charging station, you can use the app to find out where it stopped.
The setup is completely effortless. You only need to connect the mower to the Navimow application, and it does the rest. It is ready to mow the lawn safely.
2) Geo-fence Alert
Your Navimow robot lawn mower understands the lawn boundaries. It knows what's included in the mowing area, and where it shouldn't go. It navigates precisely from one corner to another through advanced navigation technologies.
Along with that, it also has a Geofence, which is an invisible fence that decides whether the mower is within the property area. Users can set the Geofence through the app and customize the safe zone radius. They can even extend the Geofence range from 33 to 164 feet (10 to 50 meters).
The Geo-fence Alert is a built-in security feature that alerts the user when the mower is taken out of the Geofence. Along with that, it also starts an alarm that scares away the thief to protect the mower.
Suppose a thief lifts the mower and takes it away. The mower won't respond within the lawn boundaries. But as soon as the person crosses the Geofence, it sends a real-time alert to the connected devices.
Simultaneously, an alarm will start on the mower. It's a high-decibel siren that will alert neighbors and people nearby. It will ring continuously unless you clear it by entering a special PIN code you have set. Thus, the thief won't be able to clear the alarm. Even if he tries to turn off the mower, the alarm will not turn off.
In the budget-friendly Navimow models, you need to install Navimow Access+ to enable the anti-theft feature. It's actually a 4G module with a built-in SIM card. It provides the mower with continuous access to the internet to get its precise GPS location when it is away from the home Wi-Fi. However, the latest and advanced mowers, such as the Navimow H2, have a built-in 4G, so you don't need to install anything.
The usage of cellular data will incur charges. Initially, there is a free period. After that, you need to recharge your 4G data plan via the app.
3) Lifted Alarm
The lifted alarm is an incredible feature of the Navimow series. It not only protects the mower but also protects the person lifting it at the same time.
Users can enable the Mower Lifted Alarm from the app. When it's enabled, if the mower is being lifted for a few seconds, it instantly starts the alarm and sends a notification to the connected devices.
Suppose a thief lifts the mower. The alarm will trigger instantly. You can check the mower's location through the application. The alarm won't stop until you enter the PIN code on the mower.
It also works as a safety feature for kids. If they try to lift the mower, the alarm will scare them away.
4) Apple Find My Support
Navimow robot lawn mowers also work with Apple Find My. It makes locating the mower a lot easier.
Users can open the Find My app on their smartphone or tablet and look for the live location just like other Apple devices. It shows the exact address, coordinates, and location on the map.
The mower is linked to your Apple ID. No matter where it is, the nearby Apple devices can securely detect its Bluetooth signal and report its approximate location to iCloud.
Not only that, but users can also sound the alarm through the app to find the mower quickly if they are nearby or deter intruders.
The best thing about this feature is that it works when the mower is powered off. You can view the location in the Find My app. It leverages nearby Apple devices anonymously to update its location.
Final Words
Navimow's quadruple security system keeps your mower safe. You get real-time alerts along with the exact mower's location. You can also connect it with Apple's Find My and track the real-time location like other Apple devices. Even if the mower is turned off, you will still get its location. It eliminates the chances of mower theft. Even if someone tries to steal it, they won't be able to do it as the siren is loud and it won't stop until a secret PIN is entered. Thus, you can leave your mower on the lawn without any worries.
