Overview
Overview
Gigaset G-tag helps you keep track of your valuables. Simply attach a G-tag to an item, e.g. your
car keys, and register it on the G-tag app. Your smartphone will show you how far away the item
is and alert you as soon it’s no longer nearby.
The app helps you find things. If the item is
beyond the range of the smartphone, you can
find out where it was last seen. You can create
groups of tags to make sure you have all the items
you need with you for a particular occasion, e.g.
when you leave the house.
G-tag sets up a wireless connection between your
smartphone and the tags via Bluetooth. The app
is always active and can monitor up to five items
at the same time.
