What is KidSpotter?

The “Spotter”

Technical Information

The KidSpotter solution is a combination of a number of elements that individually are engineered to exceed the highest standards and combined together provide an unrivalled solution to venues. All of the building blocks below are vital to any tracking solution.

The first and most obvious part of the solution is the Spotter, that is attached to the child’s wrist.

So what’s the function of the Spotter?

  1. Asks for its location
    • Outdoors: it requests its position on the planet through GPS satellites.
    • Indoors: in KidSpotter buildings it asks the Zigbee network for information on its position.
  2. Tells the KidSpotter computer servers where it is and at what time. It communicates with them over the Cell Phone or Zigbee network.
  3. Alarms if it goes beyond a pre-defined boundary or somebody tries to remove it.

Software Functionality

The engine behind the KidSpotter solution is our software. The real intelligence lies here. The software provides all the clever functionality that ensures your venue is protected. The software takes in all the raw data from the Spotter and analyses it and uses it to take the appropriate action depending on the circumstance.

The software:

  • Knows which Spotter belongs to which child and parent
  • Asks the Spotter for its position at all times
  • Locates the Spotter in emergencies
  • Creates alerts when required
  • Invokes emergency procedures
  • Defines boundaries and sectors
  • Monitors the status of the Spotters

Procedures & Security

A vital element of the solution is the real life security procedures that whilst similiar in each location, still tend to be unique. KidSpotter is tailored to each venue’s needs and is flexible to accomodate changing circumstances.
