Child Tracking Device Watch Uk
The smartwatch is offering security features such as SOS alerts, two-way voice and video chatting and location tracking, as well as a four-day battery life, an alarm, pedometer, stopwatch and front-facing camera.
The PocketFinder+ device looks basic, a simple, black key-chain fob with a single silver SOS button. It pairs with a smartphone app that looks like it was designed five years ago, but it still packs a decent amount of functionality. The setup isn't pretty, but it works for the most part.
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.
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.
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.
Even if the tracker is asleep, you can always press Track Mode in the app's Power Management menu to wake and start locating the tracker within 2 minutes. You can also save battery life by having the tracker take 20-minute breaks between "locates." Or you can locate more frequently, including every 4 minutes or even constantly, which is a nice option to have in an emergency.
Several features in the Trax app should appeal to parents who want to keep tabs on their kids. The app offers a History feature, which lets you view where a tracker has been in the past 24 hours. That means you can look back and see travel that you might have missed, like a detour to the candy store on the way home from school.
Since most people with kids are on a budget, price is important. When looking at costs, you want to not only look at what it will cost you to purchase the tracker, but also what the ongoing monthly charges are. Continual service fees are common with GPS-enabled devices, but the prices can vary widely.
