HidnSeek is announcing the launch of its Kickstarter campaign, taking orders for the world’s first smart compact Global Positioning Tracking Device with no GSM fee. The HidnSeek tracker determines its location using GPS technology allowing anything to be accurately located anywhere, through an easy to use smartphone application.
HidnSeek is a key fob-sized tracker, providing frequent geo-localization updates at a low connectivity fee. HidnSeek will be using the low-cost, low-power widespread SigFox IoT (Internet of Things) network, which is running via UNB (Ultra Narrow Band) protocol.
USB rechargeable, it will have autonomy of several months, depending on update frequency, but the functionality doesn’t end there.
With its inbuilt geo-fencing technology, users can predefine a set of boundaries, and receive alert notifications directly to smartphones when the HidnSeek device enters or exits a geo-fence. Further, by integrating a MEMS accelerometer, HidnSeek has developed a unique “Body Guard” feature, which can alert users in the event that a device remains motionless for a period of their choosing. Also, HidnSeek has a “Motion Sensor” feature, and can be used as a security system
By sharing HidnSeek tracker IDs, trusted contacts can receive alert notifications directly to their smartphones.
