With so many news broadcasts doing stories on child predators, child abductions, etc. Insignia has stepped up to the plate with their new GPS Child Tracker, the Insignia Little Buddy. This could be a very cool device for parents of young children who have to take the bus home from school, or children who are “latch-key.” Or, it could be used for great evil and people could spy on spouses or forego building trust with their little ones and use this “big brother” style.
Insignia Little Buddy
Anywho, here’s what Best Buy’s product page has to say about it:
Keep tabs on your child at all times with this small but sophisticated device that combines GPS and cellular technology to provide you with real-time location updates. The small and lightweight Little Buddy transmitter fits easily into a backpack, lunchbox or other receptacle, making it easy for your child to carry so you can check his or her location at any time using a smartphone or computer.
Customizable safety checks allow you to establish specific times and locations where your child is supposed to be — for example, in school — causing the device to alert you with a text message if your child leaves the designated area during that time. Additional real-time alerts let you know when the device’s battery is running low so you can take steps to ensure your monitoring isn’t interrupted.
