Watch-Dog Flyball
PC Based Details

Watch-Dog Systems offer unparalleled realism for teams who wish to benefit from practicing with their own Electronic Judging system. Systems are fully upgradable. Teams may start with a Single Lane Watch-Dog system and later add a second lane to their system when funds become available Or 2 teams who purchase single lane systems may combine their equipment to build a complete Double lane system. (one team must purchase the dual lane software upgrade)

The PC Based system will not only display start times, individual dog times, and entire team times but it will also monitor for early passes and false starts. Because it is PC based all this information can be displayed clearly. (see the various system interface pics on the right) Race data may also be saved to a text file for later viewing.

For greater convience PC based systems may also be controlled by remote.
