MiniFinder Rex — Green-Gps compatible GPS tracker for hunting dogs
The MiniFinder Rex is a purpose-built GPS tracker for hunting dogs and outdoor working animals, now available as a Green-Gps compatible device. Rugged, waterproof (IP67), and compact, Rex pairs high-sensitivity GPS/GLONASS positioning with long battery life and local connectivity (BLE 5.0, Wi‑Fi) to deliver reliable, real-time tracking where it matters most. When integrated with the Green-Gps platform, Rex brings precise location, behavior alerts, and team coordination tools into your existing telemetry and fleet-management workflows.
Designed for active use in harsh conditions, Rex combines hunting-focused features — a powerful guiding LED, barking detection, vibration and voice command modes, and speaker/microphone communication — with Green-Gps’s live-mapping and alerting capabilities. Whether you manage a team of handlers in the field or need a trusted tracker for a single working dog, Rex offers a compact form factor and proven connectivity to keep you connected to the animal and the data you rely on.
Key Highlights
- Green-Gps compatible for real-time tracking, team coordination, and integration into broader telemetry or fleet management workflows.
- Rugged, waterproof IP67 enclosure designed for collar or harness mounting (compact 80 x 40 x 30 mm; 100 g).
- Global cellular coverage via 4G/LTE‑M (CAT‑M1) and GSM (900/1800 MHz) for live position updates across 190+ countries.
- Long-life 2,500 mAh rechargeable battery with USB‑C charging — up to 100 hours of active use, and extended low-activity modes for multi-day operation.
- Hunting-focused features: configurable LED guiding light (up to 200 m visibility), barking detection with notifications, vibration modes, voice command capability, speaker and microphone for communication.
- High-sensitivity GPS/GLONASS reception with an advanced low-power MLPC algorithm and AI-assisted movement adaptation for efficient, accurate tracking.
- Local connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi for short-range interactions with phones and accessories, plus 16 MB flash for local event storage.
How It Works with Green-Gps
When paired with the Green-Gps platform, MiniFinder Rex becomes part of a real-time tracking and telemetry ecosystem. Rex streams location and status data over cellular networks and can use BLE/Wi‑Fi for local communications; Green-Gps ingests that data to display live positions, generate alerts, and produce historical reports. Integration is designed to be straightforward so handlers and teams can use Green-Gps’s maps and notifications without compromising the device’s native hunting features.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (GPS/GLONASS position, battery level, GSM signal).
- Geofence alerts and place history synchronized to Green-Gps for post-hunt analysis and event playback.
- Activity and safety alerts: stop alerts, G-sensor movement events, and barking-detection notifications forwarded to Green-Gps.
- Remote control commands via the connected app or platform: trigger the guiding LED, vibration mode, or audible signals to locate or command dogs in the field.
- Local BLE and Wi‑Fi interactions for quick pairing, firmware or configuration sync (where supported), and accessory detection.

Why Choose This Tracker with Green-Gps
MiniFinder Rex is engineered for the demands of outdoor dog tracking and pairs naturally with the Green-Gps platform to bring those capabilities into a broader telemetry and management environment. The combination of long battery life, proven cellular coverage (LTE‑M/GSM), high‑sensitivity GNSS, and hunting-specific sensors (bark detection, G-sensor, guiding LED) delivers reliable, real-time tracking and actionable alerts. Using Rex with Green-Gps lets you leverage Green-Gps’s live mapping, alert rules, and team-management tools — useful not only for individual handlers but also where telemetry, fleet management-style visibility, or coordinated responses are required.
Note: Rex typically requires a subscription to the manufacturer’s service (MiniFinder) to access the MiniFinder Hunter app and related services. If you plan to use Rex with Green-Gps, confirm platform compatibility and subscription requirements so your data, alerts, and team workflows run smoothly. For handlers and organizations that need a compact, rugged GPS tracker purpose-built for dogs and able to connect into Green-Gps’s ecosystem, MiniFinder Rex is a practical, field-ready option.
