Various Types Of Devices For Tracking Your Children

By Marcie Goodman


It is not unusual in todays age for parents to have serious concerns about their kids safety. There are many different types of electronic equipment designed for tracking your children. These devices can be set up to trigger alarms or notification by email on the parents computer, tablet or smart phone of the childs location.

The electronics and communications industry are continually developing and bringing new and better devices and software onto the market. Personal tracking devices are becoming more sophisticated, smaller and are more affordable and within reach of most budgets. The GPS is lightweight and is easily carried in the childs bag or placed in their coat pocket. The device is programmed to send you an email or an alert to a phone when they leave home or school.

For the smaller age groups, the market offers a child locator or what is often referred to as a child tag. You need never lose your young child in the park or a busy public place such as a shopping mall again. The tag is fixed to the clothing or placed in the pocket of the child. When you lose sight of them all you need to do is push the button the locator and the alarm will produce a loud ringing noise allowing you to locate the child by following the alarm. However the locator alarm will only work within a range of 150 feet.

Nanny cams are not essentially used to track a childs whereabouts. They are used to let you see how the child is spending their day. New parents in particular often find that using this device gives them the reassurance they need that their child is being properly cared for in their absence.

Children of all ages have access to computers and other devices which allow them to get on the internet. Keeping track of their internet usage and knowing which sites they are visiting is becoming increasingly important in todays society. Software programs not only allow parents to track their usage, they can control and exclude their access to certain internet sites.

Teenagers are usually anxious to obtain their driving license and access to the family vehicle as soon as they can. There are a range of vehicle tracking devices which allow full information on a teenagers vehicle usage for a small fee. In addition there are GPS loggers which parents can use for free so they review their off-springs driving habits.

When you want to know where your teenager and vehicle are going, you can set up the GPS to keep you advised. Real time updates on their location can be sent to you by the GPS to your email address, by text to your phone or smart phone. You can set the geographical parameters which will trigger the alert.

There are so many ways of tracking your children so you always know where they are at any given time. Smart phones, tablets and other devices can be used to download tracker apps. Many are provided free of charge, but paying even a small fee is worth it to give you peace of mind.
