Amber Alert GPS Lets You Locate Your Child’s Movements and Much More

Posted December 7, 2009 by gadgets
Found in: GPS

Amber Alert GPS is a compact GPS device used to track the movement of your child. At just 1.77″x1.68″x.78″ in size, when you slip the GPS into your child’s backpack or any other item that always goes with the child, you can track his/her location for up to 24 hours. You will be able to call the GPS to get a text message of the location and view it on a map in your mobile or computer.

The pricing for Amber Alert GPS is $379. There is an additional service agreement that must be purchased and is available right now only in the United States and Canada. The service charges vary from $9.99/month to $49.99/month. Depending on the service used, you get much more than just location tracking. You can get the history on all the places the unit has visited. You can also set a speed or boundary limit on the device and get a text or email alert any time your teen is traveling faster than your defined limit or your child is outside his/her normal parameters. Or get an alert when your child reaches school or a play date’s house. A voice monitoring feature lets you “listen-in” to your child’s conversations for up to 30 minutes. Your child could alert you by pressing an SOS button in case of any emergency and through the voice service; you can immediately access the situation. But it must be remembered that all this information gets transferred only if the GPS unit is within reception range of a cell tower as the GPS uses cell phone signals to communicate.

Sure the Amber alert GPS is a great tool for those of us with kids, but many of us are probably hesitant to spend on the monthly service after doling out almost $400 for the gadget alone. Thankfully the company is currently having a promotional “while supplies last” price of $119 for the holidays. So hurry over to https://www.amberalertgps.com/products/promo/holiday_special/ for details. If your little one has a medical condition that worries you throughout the day or you wait nervously for your teen to return back home everyday, it could buy you a whole lot of peace knowing you have better control over the situation.

Comment from Tracking System
Posted July 14, 2010 at 12:13 pm

I am happy to see that over the past few years there has been a dynamic shift from the development of GPS devices built just for fleet management to trackers designed for child security and safety. All real-time tracking systems have a monthly monitoring fee, but I am left a little unsure on how the service breaks down with this particular unit? It sates between $10-$50, but doesnt really provide much more detail. Also, the updating frequency is not addressed. Does the tracking system update every second, 10 seconds, minute, 5 minutes 10 minutes?
