Pebblebee Is Getting Serious About Personal Safety Tracking

to think Bluetooth trackers and safety in the past few years and your first idea may be the misuse of Apple Aircs and similar devices against women in home abuse and chase cases.

In addition to cooperative initiatives to counter these harmful uses and close them (such as IEETF discovery of unwanted site followers, or Dult, Standard), the followers of the followers themselves turns the scenario, and they transform the technology that has been used to monitor women against their will to the technology that protects them.

In mid -July, Pebblebee has announced its headquarters for a free SOS safety feature, named Alert, for a Bluetooth Clip of $ 35, which, such as the rest of its international lineup, can be prepared either with Bander’s Find or Google from Google, made of Hub networks of about 30 percent of plastic and archers to distribute it throughout the city Two months.

When multiple pressure (six plus ports), the clip can lead to alarm warning, LED lights, and automatically sends the text of SMS to a single “safety circle” contact you have already in the Pebblebee app.

It is easy to prepare the contact in the application, and press the device on the device for sirens and LED lights, although it is unlikely to stumble or put this device by mistake. The sirens in the clip are not loudly and do not cover the lights with the largest in diameter, as is the case in a dedicated personal warning, but it is sufficient to alert passers -by when going out at night. In addition, Pebblebee on Pebblebee stipulates: “The alert function including sirens, Strobe, and First Safety Concly will always be completely free.”

We tested the SOS system and worked without hiccups. Our friend of the Safety Department received a text saying: “Urgent: Sophie activated the Pebblebee. Please log in immediately” with a link to the right site via Google Maps. Click on the “Mark As Safe” button in the app and/or long pressure on the clip follow -up to say “Sophie canceled Pebblebee alert with the last website link.

Now, however, the Pebblebee adds a paid subscription option, called Alert Live, which provides a safety circle of up to five contacts to receive a SOS text notification when it is run through the clip, in addition to tracking the direct location of these communications, for $ 3 per month or $ 26 a year. There is also a new silent situation, the alert is sent without sirens and LED lamps, for both free users and driven by: useful, although we have not had the opportunity to test this real site or participate in the actual time so far.
