Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:11.759
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:15.679
Digital hey guys I'm here with our first video at CES with Christian to show us

00:00:13.639 --> 00:00:18.680
tracker which is pretty interesting I was interested the second I showed up to

00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:21.840
the booth because I constantly lose my keys I'm pretty good with my wallet I'm

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.400
pretty good with my phone but I literally can never find my keys so how

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:30.519
does this work so Luke we've got a solution for you you attach the sticker

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:32.279
tracker to your keys or a bag anything

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:37.079
that you want to keep track of you can even stick it on a remote the app will

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:41.239
find that thing at the Press of a button so you press a button on the app and

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:45.320
then it it makes it beep so you can see where you know did you leave it in the

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:49.800
couch cushions did you you know did it fall under the table and then you can

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:54.320
see with a hot cold indicator on the app if you're getting warmer or colder and

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.840
then if you leave it behind it remembers where on a map you left that thing so

00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:03.920
this works through Bluetooth and you said the battery life was pretty insane how long is the battery life for that

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:05.960
little tracker it goes up to a year on

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.759
uh a little watch battery so you don't have to worry about constantly plugg it

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.040
into your computer or whatever the wall to charge it which is actually really nice because you might lose something

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.159
for a few days and having these kind of things and having them die is really not

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:21.640
that helpful so there's another thing you're talking me about where you can kind of help other people find stuff

00:01:18.759 --> 00:01:25.280
just like ways and how does that work so in the latest Tracker app we've

00:01:23.479 --> 00:01:31.640
Incorporated social tracking we're calling IT Crowd tracker so if I left my

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:33.560
keys some somewhere and you walked by

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:39.000
them then you would anonymously and confidentially just REM let me know

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:42.680
where my keys moved to so you can see on

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.960
this little map I've got my tracker on a

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.240
map and it knows where I left it and then if another user walks by it gives

00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:52.159
me an updated location for that thing cool so it's Bluetooth but it doesn't

00:01:50.759 --> 00:01:55.320
have to fully connect it just has to kind of ping and then it updates the map

00:01:53.880 --> 00:02:01.680
without that user actually knowing and this is an opt-in correct so if you're kind of worried about it you can say no

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:05.439
correct yes so if you're interested in having other people help you find your

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:09.119
stuff when you lose it um then you can help other people find their stuff when

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:12.800
they lose it perfect so you if you're someone who tends to leave things behind

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.560
like myself this might help you a lot I also heard that it's pretty inexpensive

00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.840
so how much are the different devices we wanted to make it really easy for people

00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:26.319
to keep track of their stuff so one device is 29 and it's two for 39 and

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:27.920
four for $80 perfect that's really not

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:31.480
that bad I don't think I don't know about you is this kind of stuff you're

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:34.400
