Welcome to our forum. There are two types of trackers: bluetooth and GPS. The bluetooth trackers have a range of 100 to 200 feet and you must be within that range to find your cat. Thus, if your cat is 300 feet away, you will not track the cat. You have to keep walking until the cat comes into the range. GPS trackers will find your cat anywhere in the world. It uses satellite technology. GPS trackers are not cheap and are larger products. Many people use the bluetooth trackers and hope for the best. If your cat is locked inside a neighbor's garage, the bluetooth may not work as walls will block the transmission.
There are a couple other things you might try since it is very dangerous for a bengal to be outside. Forget cats, dogs, coyotes, children trying to harm it, someone wanting to steal your beautiful kitty (which has happened to other owners), poisons, getting locked somewhere they cannot escape and expire due to no food or water. No tracker will help in those cases.
Create a safe outdoor environment. A catio or cat enclosure. They can be permanent or temporary. You can purchase temporary ones online. Train your kitty to walk on a harness and take your kitty for walks. Mine gets two walks a day AND has a 12'x12' cat enclosure on our desk. He was an outdoor cat with his previous owner and got into numerous fights with other cats. Mine cannot be outside unsupervised.
You can Google "cat enclosure" or "catio" and see some great ideas. This is not to say your baby won't continue to attempt to get outside. Mine does and I either shut him in a room so I can go through the door without worry or make sure he is far enough way that he can go out with me. It has happened that he is fast and through my legs before I can think. But, He will usually just stop once be gets outside and I can grab him.
