Child Tracking Device Uk
Weenect is a company that makes a line of trackers for all the important people and animals in your life: elders, pets, and of course kids. The Weenect Kids tracker isn’t a wearable, though — it’s a carryable, a six cm by 4 cm, 55g GPS device that fits in an included waterproof pouch and attaches to your child’s jacket, backpack, or belt loop.
If you’ve got a older child with his or her own smartphone, there’s really no need to buy a standalone device. As the worn out tagline goes, there’s an app for that! Lociloci is one of those apps. Available for both iOS and Android, it’s pretty simple: you install the app on your phone, approve the app’s tracking on your child’s phone, and it will start working. Lociloci provides just basic location information; there’s no geofencing feature or anything like that. However, it can be used to track just about anyone, so you can also connect with your friends and find out where they are using the same app.
The battery on a Paxie Band lasts about a day and a half on a single charge. It’s on the pricey side, at $175 USD (£121) for the device, three bands, a charger, and your first three months of service; after those three months are up, you’re on the hook for $9.95 (about £7) per month. The initial pre-order of Paxie Bands is sold out and set to ship at some point during summer 2016; pre-orders for the next batch should come up soon.
Finally, many kids trackers offer communication features like talkback, text messaging, activity tracking, and more. If you want to be able to talk instantly with a small child, particularly one who does not have a mobile phone of his or her own, or if you’re concerned about your child’s fitness level, then these may be details that you’ll want to look for.
On top of all of that, AngelSense is available on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Rogers, making it quite accessible in the US and Canada. One potential caveat, though - all these extra services will cost you. It's $39.99 to get onto the monthly plan, though the overall pricing varies depending on your commitment to the subscription.
Paxie Bands are fun looking cuff bracelets with embedded GPS, so you’ll always know where your kids are. This is a product that first turned heads at CES 2015, and now it’s almost ready for the masses. The big appeal of Paxie Bands is that there are several different cool-looking bands to choose from, so your kids can pick the ones they like and actually feel excited about wearing this device.
Here’s another GPS locator that isn’t a watch: the PocketFinder clips on or slips in a bag or pocket. When connected to the iOS or Android app, its features are fairly standard. Parents can see real time location information for their children, set up geofences, and receive zone alerts via text or email. There’s a speed limit feature to let parents know if a child is in a moving vehicle, and the power mode can be adjusted to conserve battery life. What you won’t get on the PocketFinder, though, are voice and texting capabilities — or any communication between the wearer and the tracker, for that matter.
