◆ 2: I tried using it in conjunction with an Android smartphone
After completing the initial setup, the tracker's location information will be displayed on the screen. When using with Android, this location information indicates ' location information of the smartphone paired with 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' ', and if the smartphone leaves the Bluetooth connection range, 'location information of the smartphone at the time of disconnection' ” is displayed. As a result, if the misplaced item moves somewhere else, it can no longer be tracked.
If the 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' is within the Bluetooth connection range, you can make the 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' play a sound by tapping 'Ring'.
In the movie below, you can see how the sound actually sounds. By using this function, you can avoid the situation that 'the location information indicates here, but I do not know where it is'.
There is also a 'misplaced notification' function that sends a notification when the connection between the smartphone and the 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' is lost to prevent misplacing. To use 'misplaced notification', tap 'misplaced notification' on the screen.
Then switch the toggle switch to ON.
With this, a notification will be displayed after a while after the Bluetooth connection is disconnected.

When the confirmation screen is displayed, tap 'Delete'. This completes the disconnection.
◆ 4: Procedure for linking with iPhone
As mentioned above, when using 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' in conjunction with Android, it is not possible to perform location tracking when a lost item moves.

Next, give it an easy-to-understand name and tap 'Continue'.
Furthermore, register an easy-to-understand pictogram and tap 'Continue'.
Tap 'Agree' when the association confirmation screen with Apple ID is displayed.
Finally, tap 'End' to complete the connection.

When linking with 'Search' is completed, the location information of 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' will be displayed on the screen. The location information displayed on the 'Search' screen is ' Eufy Security SmartTrack Card's location information ', and even if the 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' moves, the location information can be tracked.
If the 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' and the iPhone are within a Bluetooth connection distance, you can play the sound by tapping 'Play Sound'.
Sound makes it much easier to find lost items.
In addition, a link to the distribution page of the iOS version 'eufy Security' is placed in the menu of the 'Search' app.

◆7: Summary
When I actually used 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card', the initial setting was very simple when linking with the iPhone, and it was possible to track the location information even if the lost item moved. On the other hand, when linking with an Android smartphone, initial settings are quite troublesome, and location information tracking is also impossible. For this reason, if you are thinking about using it on an Android smartphone, you need to keep in mind that ``if the lost item moves, it will not be possible to track it''.
In addition, the battery life of 'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' is about 3 years, and the battery cannot be replaced. For this reason, when the battery runs out, it is necessary to replace the entire unit.
'Eufy Security SmartTrack Card' is available at Amazon.co.jp for 3392 yen including tax at the time of article creation.
