There are many situations in life where you or those you love might be in danger or in need of assistance. The world is in the grips of COVID-19 and almost unrecognizable compared to the world we knew a few short weeks ago. Whether you are working longer shifts and traveling home after dark, have an elderly relative self-isolating or you are an employee with lone remote workers, you might be worried about safety issues that could put you and others at risk.

SpotyPal is a Bluetooth tracking device that puts you in control of the situation. Unlike other similar devices, this small but powerful tracker has a secret weapon – a panic button that will sound an alarm in a very unique and effective way.

The SpotyPal Panic Button – Peace of Mind for Everybody

Feeling Under Threat? Send the Alert

What would you do if you thought you were being followed? Call somebody on your phone? Quicken your pace? Seek help from a passerby? But what if you couldn’t get to your phone easily, your pursuer matches your pace or there is nobody in your direct vicinity? With lockdown in full effect, the latter is a very real possibility. Hopefully, you will never find yourself in such a frightening situation but if you do, it is reassuring to know there is help at hand.

With one press of its panic button, SpotyPal gets to work immediately, sending an email to your list of predefined contacts. Whether you have chosen to include your mom, dad, partner, siblings, friends or colleagues on this list, they will receive an alert that tells them where you are. In an emergency, this information could be crucial.

Be Found When Lost

SpotyPal can also be invaluable if you get lost. Whether you have taken a wrong turn or you’re stuck without any transportation home, pressing the panic button will alert your SOS contacts where you are so that they can find you or give you directions and get you home as soon as possible. Whether you have a terrible sense of direction or you are using public transport for the first time and unfamiliar with your route, SpotyPal’s panic button will give you peace of mind in your pocket or purse.

Keep Elderly Relatives Safe

If you have an elderly relative at home alone, it can be an especially worrying time when you cannot visit them easily. But with SpotyPal, they will always have the means to sound the alert if they get into difficulty. Whether they have a medical emergency or are simply feeling confused or uneasy, it is reassuring for them and you that they can get in touch if something happens. Just remember to make sure you include your details in their predefined contacts list and have access to your emails.

Protect Remote Workers

As COVID-19 continues to plunge the world of business into uncertainty, many employees are working from home. Some of these employees may be working at home alone. Just as you would have policies in place to protect employees in the workplace, SpotyPal can also fulfill the same duty of care for lone employees working at home.

We sincerely hope that you never need to use SpotyPal’s panic button, but if you do, you can be sure that assistance from your SOS contacts will be on the way. With SpotyPal, you are never alone.

5 most popular ways to use SpotyPal

SpotyPal is the Ultimate Item Finder that will help you make your daily life more simple and stop spending time searching for your valuable belongings. Today, we’ll mention 5 of the most important ways you can use SpotyPal and get advantage of its unique features.

1. Key Finder – Key Tracker

One of the most valuable items of your daily life is your keys. You keep with you your home keys, car keys, office keys or keys for any other building or space (e.g. your garage, your warehouse).

Also, you maybe have wondered several times where your keys are located and be afraid of the idea to have forgotten or even worse lost them.

So, how SpotyPal helps you find your misplaced keys?

SpotyPal will offer you the best possible solution. The process is just simple:

Attach a SpotyPal device on your keychain.

Connect your SpotyPal device with the free SpotyPal app.

Use your smartphone to make your device ring.

Now, follow the sound and you can find again your misplaced keys (in most cases your keys will be located below or behind other items on a table or under some clothes on your bed…)

Indeed, that’s a smart way to figure out the location of your misplace keys.

Now, imagine for a moment.

What if your keys are not misplaced inside your office or your home but you have forgotten them in another place or location?

In this case, you cannot ring the device from your smartphone, as you aren’t within the range of your SpotyPal device.

However, if you have already connected your device with the SpotyPal app, you can find your keys through the last GPS position. SpotyPal keeps the last position of your keys and so you can get back to this location and find them in the right place.

That’s all?

No, there is something still better to do. SpotyPal bears a unique feature, named Separation Alert. It means that every time you are going to leave a place without getting your keys with you, an immediate separation alert will appear on your mobile phone and a smart notification will notify you that your device (thus your keychain) is out of range. So, in case you move out of the Bluetooth range of the device ( 50-70 m), you will immediately get an alert that will prompt you to return and grab your keys again!

2. Wallet Tracker

There are many real stories of people who return a wallet full of money to its owner. In this case, the wallet owner is really lucky, as the person who found the wallet acted ethically and did not keep the money for himself. But let’s get it down to real life, the world is not full of angels.

Unfortunately, there is a bunch of real stories where people who lost their wallet will never find it again.

But that’s another reason SpotyPal came to life! If you are not ready to overtake the risk of losing your wallet and just hope that someone will be too good to give it to the near police station, it’s better to think in advance and use a Bluetooth tracker avoiding to be a potential victim of this frustrating situation.

SpotyPal is a revolutionary wallet tracker. It works similarly to the case of a key tracker: Keep a SpotyPal device inside your wallet and be sure that each time you leave it behind you will get a separation alert on your smartphone so as to locate it again.

3. Baggage Tracker

People who love traveling come up with a major concern: protecting their baggage and get rid of the fear of losing them. This is common due to the fact that suitcases and luggage will be transfered among several locations until to be back on your hands again.

There’s also a common problem – people may get another luggage that’s similar to their own.

SpotyPal engineers introduced a new kind of alert to deal efficiently with these cases. It is the Nearby alert.

So, let’s get down to it.

When your luggage gets within the range of a SpotyPal device (up to 70 m), you receive a nearby alert on your smartphone. So, when you are waiting for your suitcase on the baggage corridor, you will receive an immediate nearby alert if your luggage are getting within your range. And that’s the point! No need to keep an eye an all the suitcases passing from the moving corridor. Just relax, drink your coffee and SpotyPal will let you know that your luggage is now close to you.

SpotyPal is an excellent luggage locator. You can now track your luggage through nearby alerts on your smartphone and be sure that you are not going to lose your baggage again.

In other words, nearby alert it is the opposite of a separation alert!

Apart from your baggage, SpotyPal could be an exceptional suitcase tracker no matter which transportation means you chose (car, bus, etc). Placing a SpotyPal device in your suitcase or bag, you will always be aware of its location and you’ll get an alert each time it moves out of your range. In any case, separation or nearby alerts on your smartphone will be your beloved partner to never losing your luggage again.

4. Camera Tracker

Photographers! They always have a list of several items to get with. And most of these items bear a high cost:

A valuable camera body

A bunch of different lenses (wide, prime, macro)

Light boxes and other light sources

Tripods, Monopods, Gimbals etc

SpotyPal offers the possibility to create a list of all these valuable items, where each SpotyPal device will be attached to each separate item. In this way, the photographer will never leave back any of the items as a separation alert will notify him about it. So, he can concentrate on the next project and let SpotyPal take care of keeping all valuable photographing tools within his range.

Even if you don’t want to attach a SpotyPal device on all of the lenses or ND filters, you can just use only one device and place it inside the photographer’s backpack! SpotyPal will help you have your backpack always with you and will send you an alarm on your phone in case you are prone to forget it and leave the place without taking your invaluable photographer tools with you.

5. Phone Finder

You can find your misplaced phone by using SpotyPal.

It’s simple.

Let’s assume that you search for your smartphone inside your house. In most cases you have left it in a really “wrong place”. Maybe below a bed or under some clothes or just under another item or below your bed blanket.

SpotyPal relieves you from the frustration of spending time in vain. Just grab the SpotyPal device on your hands and press the button. Your smartphone will ring and now it’s really easy to locate it. (You can change the configuration of simple, double or long button press from SpotyPal app settings !)

Of course, you can use SpotyPal in other ways too. You can check all SpotyPal features by clicking here as well as all device and tracking application specifications here. In future articles, we will emphasize in use cases of each separate category (key tracker case studies, wallet tracker case, etc.)
