How GPS Tracking can be Used for Protection

 

Home surveillance cameras don’t have to be the only way you protect your family. The growing popularity of GPS tracking has given families options they never would have dreamed of a short time ago.

Family protection
One way families are using their GPS tracking systems is as a monitor, The New York Times reported. Grown adults with elderly parents want to know that their mom or dad is safe. When the elderly get to the age at which they can’t live safely on their own, nursing homes tend to be the answer. Some families, however, have used GPS tracking to give their parents some independence. These devices allow other family members to know where the user is located. For families dealing with an Alzheimer’s patient, it’s effective.

Parents can also monitor children when they are out. GPS systems can tell the speed at which a vehicle is moving, which is a good way for parents to track their teenager’s driving.

In the workplace
Employers are using GPS tracking as a way to monitor a delinquent employee. If a company has given a work vehicle to an employee who is thought to be abusing privileges, a GPS tracker is a simple way to tell. Time sheets no longer have to be the only information an employer has on the movement of a worker.
