Safe Zones
What are they?
Safe Zones are areas that we can draw on the map that provide a safe area that you think your loved one can walk and be ok.
If they go outside of that Safe Zone then an alert will be sent to your mobile and the web platform letting you know that they may now be at risk!
By using the APP and web platform you can locate them quickly and respond as you see fit.
So what does a Safe Zone look like?

- 8 -
GPS tracking system
The Safe Zone can be drawn to fit any dimensions and you can have more than one!
E.G. if you want to know when the person with the tracker has left the Safe Zone around their house and has then arrived at the newsagent then you can have 2 safe zones and
each time they go in and out you will receive a text – so you can be reassured that they have gone out and come back.
Things to be aware of:
1. The safe zone can be breached if it is too small by what is called “drifting” this is where the tracker connects to various satellites and appears to be moving and so can
“drift” out of the zone
2. If you have more than one tracker then you can determine which zone relates to each tracker and how you want them to alert
How to Create a Safe Zone
Login and go to the top icon banner and click on the icon – address search – you use this to select where you want the safe zone to be:
 Enter the post code and click search – you may need to scroll into the map to get closer to your area!
