The Mova SureTrack Pro offers you a way to talk with the folks who have your pets
The Mova SureTrack Pro is a GPS pet tracker that includes two-way voice communication. While intended for pet safety, the device's features raise potential security and privacy concerns regarding unauthorized use.

The intersection of consumer IoT devices and personal security highlights the need for better privacy safeguards in smart technology.
We’re not sure how to feel about the Mova SureTrack Pro. Yes, it’s a GPS pet tracker that lives on a collar. Yes, it has two-way voice functions. In theory, if your dog listens to you, you can tell it to come back even when out of earshot. But there are other ways this tech can be used.
The other way that Mova’s smart pet tracker can be used occurred to Stuff almost immediately. Apparently, we’re truly awful human beings. We’d hope the possible downside to a two-way radio pet collar also dawned on someone at Mova’s HQ. It probably didn’t. If it did, someone kept their mouth shut.
