Child Tracking Device Uk
The Gator is a UK version of a popular Chinese children's smartwatch. If communication is your main concern, it offers 12 month or rolling contracts for its multi-network plans that use whichever signal is strongest. That means you should always be in contact with your kids.
You can tap the Instant Zone button on the map to add a zone around the tracker's current location, so you'll get a notification when the tracker arrives or leaves. Or you can tap Zones in the menu below the map to see the zones you already have and add new ones anywhere in the world. The app supports unlimited zones, and they're very accurate, thanks to PocketFinder's use of GPS, assisted GPS, 3G tower ID and Wi-Fi locating to track indoors and out. I was getting "out of zone" notifications when the tracker was just at a far end of my house, until I made the zone a little bigger.
The watch runs on the 2G network, which means it's using GPRS in the U.S. because 2G networks are being shut down. (The company plans to release a 3G version of the watch soon.) For a SIM card, any GSM/GPRS network should work. Cheap SIM cards from US Mobile, Ting, or SpeedTalk are a good bet, but Lil Tracker leaves the research and purchase entirely up to you; the company doesn't offer a package that includes a SIM card or service. (However, our review unit came with a SIM installed and pre-activated.)
Child Monitoring Services
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.
The Spot Gen3 ($150) offers pinpoint accuracy in a durable device, but younger kids would have a hard time knowing which button was which — including an emergency button that sends location data to rescue personnel. Likewise, the Trackimo ($115) has an appealing data plan and a useful geofencing feature, but it's simply too much for a young child to master. (Read our Spot Gen3 and Trackimo reviews if you're interested in a more general purpose GPS tracker.)
When that child goes missing, even for just a few moments, it’s agonising for parents. In fact, there’s probably not a parent alive who has not experienced the sinking gut feeling of frantically looking around in a crowd for his or her child.
Child Monitoring Software
The result of a highly successful Indiegogo campaign in the spring of 2014, HereO raised over $200,000 USD to manufacture what it billed as the first GPS watch designed for young kids. It’s certainly fun and colourful, and it looks like something that kids would choose to wear. It’s designed for ages 3-12, and kids don’t even have to know that it’s a GPS tracking device — it simply looks like a cool kids watch.
