Keep an eye on children with a GPS tracker
The shock of every parent: your child gets lost or escapes your attention. Thanks to a GPS tracker, it is possible to locate your child immediately. In case of problems or when the child needs help, he or she can press the SOS button. You can listen in live with the listen-in function.
This is how the GPS tracker works
A GPS tracker / children's telephone has a built-in GPS receiver and GSM module. You insert a SIM card with sufficient credit in the module. If you want to request the location of the child, you send a text message to the mobile number of the SIM card. You will then receive a text message with the coordinates of the location. Via the Google Maps link you can immediately see where the child is located. The GPS tracker works not only for locating children but also for the elderly, pets, adults with disabilities, vehicles and objects.
Children's GPS tracker with emergency button
Sometimes a child is in an unsafe situation or needs help. The children's GPS tracker has an SOS button. When the child presses it, a pre-programmed telephone number is called. Thanks to this system you can take action or call in extra help. Note that not every GPS tracker has an SOS button. This certainly applies to the brightly colored GPS watches . Is your child in possession of an Android smartphone? The SOS button for Android smartphones increases personal safety. This device connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth. When the SOS button is pressed, 5 contacts receive a message with the child's exact location. The child does not have to use the smartphone in an emergency situation.
GPS tracker is cheaper than smartphone
A smartphone is a costly investment that young children cannot yet handle properly. The GPS tracker is an inexpensive alternative to the expensive smartphone. Because of its user-friendliness, it is applicable for children, the elderly and people with a (mental) disability. The only thing you need is a working SIM card with calling credit. This credit is required for sending a text message with coordinates. Check the calling credit regularly and top up if necessary.
Battery life of the children's GPS tracker
Children sometimes take a long time. Outdoor games, an outing or school trip: the GPS tracker must have a strong battery. The children's GSM telephone has a rechargeable battery. Depending on the model, the battery life is 32 to 48 hours. Charging is very easy with the supplied adapter.
