The one I looked at had a little "home" a docking station
that
the perimeter wire was linked to. When the charge was almost
gone, it would follow the wire and re-dock. Once charged it would
start off again.
Also it had an alarm built in - to start it you entered a key code (if
my
memory is right). If you picked it up without turning it off it would
"scream"
and not work until you re-entered the code. And without the docking
station it was a bit useless.
I thought these bits were really cool - dunno about these other models
though.
