Abstract
A system for monitoring a pet includes a base station and a first monitoring device configured to capture first data relating to a first monitored area and to transmit the first data to the base station. The system further includes a second monitoring device configured to capture second data relating to a second monitored area and to transmit the second data to the base station, wherein the first monitored area and the second monitored area are adjacent. The base station is configured to determine a location of the pet as being in at least one of the first monitored area and the second monitored area. The base station is configured to determine a status of the pet based on at least one of the first and second data.
