The Amber Alert GPS wearable is a compact, durable wearable that fits neatly in backpacks, clips on to clothing or can we worn with a breakaway lanyard. All your family devices can be setup and managed via a single Family Web Portal and, when on the go, you can quickly know your family member’s whereabouts. Amber Alert GPS is the most advanced safety wearables on the market. It’s safety alerts include – SOS, SafeZones, Speed, Predator, Breadcrumbing, Low Battery, Device ON/OFF and Device Inactivity. When a safety alert is issued, designated family members and friends are notified via email &/or text message on their smartphone and/or Family Web Portal. A simple press of the one-touch button by the user enables them to quickly call out for both SOS and non-emergency calls.  You can also talk with your loved one with 2-way voice calling without them needing to pick-up or press a button, which is often helpful for very young children. 

Safety alerts are automatically triggered and may include notifying loved one that someone has arrived at or left a pre-set location such as a school, soccer practice or even a crowded area like an amusement park. You can also get alerted if someone is traveling too fast in a moving vehicle or if they come within 500 ft. of a registered sex offender’s home. If the device is turned OFF or ON, is inactive for a period of time or is low on battery, you will get notified. On the run and don’t have time to login and check a person’s location?

Our system is designed to locate the Amber AlertGPS Safety wearable anywhere in the United States within the expansive AT&T service area. If the product enters an area without GSM (or cell phone) coverage, the GPS feature will not be able to report its current location until it re-enters an area with network coverage. 

Today’s GPS receivers are extremely accurate, thanks to their parallel multi-channel design. Certain atmospheric factors and other sources of error can affect the accuracy of GPS receivers. The Amber Alert GPS Safety wearable is accurate within 15 meters (49 feet) 90% of the time. In an open sky environment, users can see accuracy within a few meters (5-10 feet).
