About
It is all about being prepared, to get the SOS message out to as many
as possible. If you live alone, work alone, travel alone you may at
times just want to notify loved ones of your location (leave your
breadcrumbs). Sometimes, threats come up suddenly and you just want
help from any quarter. A SOS message triggered from your phone via
phantomEye.com will not only relay your location to all those people on
your web account but also call up one emergency number you have defined.
With slide and click ease it is almost a reflex action.
For people climbing telephone poles in some remote country side, a
count down timer ensures that if you do not get down in one piece, the
SOS message will go out. Yes, we worry for all those people who work
alone. So if you get injured, fall unconscious or just cannot reach
your phone, the count down timer to SOS will still make that one vital
connection to help.
On
7th May 2008 we have released an advanced version of MySpot GPS
tracking software. Please upgrade for FREE, by downloading the latest
copy from the download section.
Features
a) Slide and one button click SOS sending on most supported phones.
b) SOS messages triggered are relayed to as many supervisors defined in
the web account.
c) Messages relayed to supervisors are sent over e-mail / SMS / Twitter
/ IM and automated voice*
d) One user defined number is also called directly from the phone - so
911 or 000 or a user defined number is still activated from the phone
e) Message sent from the phone contains the street location (
in
24 supported countries) and for other regions suburb level
position
d) Exact Lat/ Long position is available on the website.
e) User may opt to send just a position ( bread crumb ) to the website
as a record of location. Ordinary positions do not trigger alerts.
f) Most phones can operate globally and with a roaming
enabled GPRS SIM card - your last location record is a click away.
g) Your Privacy is protected as you decided when to send the position.
h) A stringent security system ensures that the data we receive is
actually from the registered device.
i)
A timer based SOS allows automatic SOS sending if you are not able to
get back in time from a task.
j) The phone beeps 8 seconds before sending the auto SOS.
New
Features in MySpot V2 (release date 08 My 2008 )
a) On starting the SOS the phone will either beep or vibrate. This is
useful for people who want to trigger of an SOS without letting anyone
around no about it by enabling the STEALTH mode under SETTINGS
b) Continuous tracking on SOS - In the version 1 of MySpot the SOS was
only sent once. In the new version an interval can be set and the SOS
once triggered will keep on sending the location and SOS
signal for as long as the user wishes or the battery lasts
c) A Continuous Tracking mode is a new addition. This allows users to
send in their normal location (i.e breadcrumbs ) as a user specified
interval. The difference between the Continuous Tracking SOS and the
continuous tracking mode is that it unlike SOS, the location
breadcurmbs will not generate the alert SMS / e-mails from the
PhantomEye nerve center.
d) A new SMS channel. - The user can now in addition to the normal
PhantomEye tracking website, add a destination SMS number. On clicking
the SOS button the raw location data will be sent to the number
specified under the Settings.
