Child Tracking Device Uk
When I put the Trax Play in my son's backpack, I received a notification when he left the geofenced area that I named "home" as well as when he arrived at the area I named "school." (Yes, you can set up multiple geofences within the Trax app.) There's also an option to set a perimeter around your phone and alert you when the tracker gets too far away from you.
PocketFinder's battery life varies widely based on how often the device pings the server with its location, a frequency you can set. By default, when the tracker is moving, it sends its location every 10 seconds for 3 minutes straight, then takes a 10-minute break. When it's not moving, PocketFinder goes to sleep.
Despite the lack of features on these apps, they’re useful for finding out if kids are where they say they’ll be, if they’re in trouble, and so on. Just add their phone to your app, and the tracking can begin. Plus, the price is right. These are good starter tracking solutions. If they’re not enough, you can always upgrade to a standalone device.
To see where your child is on a map, you have three viewing options: a plain Google map, a Google satellite map, or a hybrid of the two. Currently, you can choose to receive location updates every 10, 15, 30 and 60 seconds, but I found that updates every 30 or 60 seconds proved excessive, leading to scribbles all over the map just from going from room to room in my apartment. A coming firmware update will allow for less frequent location updates as well: every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes.

Ease of use: We wanted to find devices that were easy enough for a small child to use, certainly, but also ones that wouldn't give mom or dad fits during the setup and activation process. Here's one universal tip: Make sure to activate your GPS tracker in as wide of an open space as possible — not from inside a building. Trackers hate being enclosed, especially at the beginning.
You add other caregivers to your Care Team by phone number. They'll receive a link over SMS (text) to download the Jiobit app, and when they set up an account, they enter their own phone number. Care Team members can choose to be notified when the Jiobit enters and leaves the trusted places you've set up, and they can see the Jiobit on the map and which caregiver is in range. They just can't set up additional trusted places or change any of the Jiobit's settings.

The Trax app also retains an augmented-reality view to find your child on a map. Point your phone in the direction of your tracker, and its location and distance will show up on your smartphone's screen, making it easier to find your kid in a crowded setting.
For the kids, there's a hopscotch tracker and a voice changing mode to make things a little more fun. And yes, there's a basic step tracker and inactivity reminders too. Just keep in mind you'll need to be a Verizon customer, and you'll have a $30 activation fee and need a $5 per month plan.
