GPS bracelet for a child

Thanks to various mobile devices in the modern world, it has become much easier to control the movement of children. The easiest and most convenient way to keep abreast of your child’s location is with a GPS tracker in the form of a bracelet. This small accessory is designed for children from 3 years. It can be purchased for those who are still too early to use mobile phones.

Classic models of GPS bracelets come with SIM cards. They are powered by batteries. With continuous use of the charge from them lasts for 2 weeks.

The GPS tracker has special software needed to track the location of the device. The coordinates are determined using signals from satellites and transmitted via cellular or Internet network.

Depending on the model and means of data transfer, parents receive information about the location of the child in different ways. Coordinates can be sent as SMS messages or displayed on a map. The frequency of data retrieval can be adjusted as desired - every 15 minutes or 1 time per day.

Certain tracker models have additional features that expand the capabilities of the device:

• Geofence. The device can be configured so that when a child leaves a given territory, an appropriate signal is sent to parents.
• Drop sensor. For active children, it may not be as useful as for children with disabilities. The tracker catches a sharp change in the position of the child’s body and sends a message to the parents.
• Alarm button.In case of emergency, it is enough to press a button on the device body, and adults will immediately receive an alarm notification.
• Listening. Through mobile communication, you can listen to everything that happens around the child from a mobile phone.
• Telephone. Of course, the bracelet will not fully play the role of a full-fledged device, but a couple of numbers that can be called in cases of emergency are entered into the tracker’s memory.

1. Strength. The active lifestyle of the younger generation requires maximum durability of mobile devices. The tracker must withstand drops, shock and contact with water. There are models designed for a certain type of occupation or lifestyle of children - shockproof or waterproof.

5. Design. Children should like the bracelet so that they wear it with pleasure. It is good if the accessory fits the wardrobe of little fashionistas. Keep in mind that the bracelet should look appropriate in combination with a school uniform.
