Child Tracking Device Uk
Another watch device for small children that’s also conspicuous and bulky, the FiLip2 can use both GPS and wifi to keep track of its young wearers. It has many of the features of the previous two devices: location information, parent-defined safe zones and geofences, and an emergency call button. An advantage of this GPS tracker for kids, however, is voice calls and text messages can be made to your child’s wristband from up to five trusted numbers that you pre-approve. It’s resizeable, so it can grow with your child, and it comes in two kid-friendly colours: bright blue or bright red.
"The companies developing the products must be explicitly clear what they are doing to enhance the security around the data collected to ensure that it is only the parents who will ever have access to the child's location and contact details."
Perhaps designed for the smallest children in mind, this GPS tracker for kids is aimed at children ages three to six (and their parents, of course). The LG Gizmopal is a fairly simple but effective device. There’s no screen or interface: it’s just a chunky wristband that comes in either pink or blue. We don’t really see a huge need to gender-define a device like this, but if the right colour helps kids to wear it willingly, we suppose it’s alright.
This is another app and device combination, but unlike the ones we’ve already discussed, Trax is not a watch or a wrist band. Instead, it is a durable, small, 38mm x 55mm x 10mm plastic rectangle that snaps into a silicone clip and can be carried in a pocket, in a bag, or on a belt. It may be more tricky to secure to kids than a wristband, but then again, with Trax, you don’t run the risk of them trying to take it off or having it smashed during rough and tumble play. In fact, they’ll probably forget they’re carrying a Trax altogether.
The cost for Lociloci is £4.99 per month for unlimited use. There’s no contract and nothing else to buy, making it a very economical solution. Need to talk to or text your child? Just use your phone’s regular features for that. It works in the UK, the US, Sweden, Finland, and Norway, though you can only see a friend in your home location. (So, if you’ve got a UK phone, you’ll be able to see only the location of your tracked kids or friends in the UK, even if you’re physically in another country.) It’s a simple solution — there are no bells and whistles, but it works.
There's LTE on board for voice calls, a voice assistant named CLOVA and translation between English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Plus there's a range of strap colours and four dog emoji watch faces. This one was announced back in summer 2018, and there hasn't been an update on price, release date or global availability just yet.
The button also allows the child to accept calls from approved numbers, and if they fail to press it within 10 seconds the device will automatically let the caller listen in to the machine's built-in microphone.
