Child Tracking Device Uk
Every parent is concerned with the safety of his or her child, and this includes knowing where that child is at all times. Using a GPS tracker for kids can give parents unprecedented peace of mind while still allowing their child or children the freedom to roam a bit. Trackers are available for younger and older children alike and at a wide range of price points. Depending on your tracking needs and personal budget, one of these should work quite well for you and your family.
Designed for kids aged 3 - 11, it has 2-way calling and messaging so kids can keep in contact with up to 10 contacts approved by the parents. Naturally, there's location tracking and GPS boundaries that parents can set up. You're also getting a 1.3-inch 240 x 240 AMOLED display with 4 - 7 days of battery life.
Omate has teamed up with Japanese toymaker Diablock and Tata Communications on a wearable that turns the kids tracker itself into a plaything. They use nanoblock straps that lets your child design the strap how they see fit with don't-call-them-Lego blocks.
The device also features two way talkback, and it’s easy for your kids to call you. There is an SOS button to alert one number — only one number, though. However, the device itself can be tracked by up to ten predefined contacts. There’s also a fun call and listen feature, where you can just listen in on what your child is up to without actually talking to him or her. Is this eavesdropping? Your child may think so, but it does provide a nice opportunity to be a fly on the wall, so to speak.
HereO connects to a corresponding app, which is available for both iOS and Android, so that you can locate your child any time. It offers real time location information, wander off alerts, and notifications for when a child arrives or departs a defined location. There’s a location history, as well as a tamper alert if the HereO is removed from the child’s wrist. And, there’s even a panic button to alert any number or numbers you add to the app that something is wrong.
Inside Tinitell is a GPS chip, a cell chip, and an accelerometer. This means continual location tracking as well as the potential for future activity tracking (it’s not there…yet). As for the mobile phone part, Tinitell uses voice recognition to call anyone off a pre-defined list of up to 12 contacts. It can also accept voice calls from anyone. You’ll need a SIM card from any cell provider with a 2G network, which is a bit of a hassle (many other trackers have this detail already worked out for consumers), but it does mean that Tinitell works, more or less, in any country.
The corresponding app works on recent versions of both iOS and Android (versions 7 and 4.0, respectively), and it has a few helpful features. Up to four trusted and pre-approved numbers can call the device, location information is always available, remaining battery life is indicated, and parents can set up location alerts and reminders. That’s about it; there’s no geofencing or anything like that, but then again, the LG Gizmopal isn’t as expensive as other wristband GPS trackers. Kids can contact two main caregivers (like mom or dad) with the button on the device. Two pushes makes a call; one push plays a goofy cartoon-like zinger sound, which could be entertaining for little kids.
