OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Safeti announced
today a first of its kind, personal safety alert system and GPS
tracking device with an on demand security concierge service at the
click of a button. Without having to connect to Bluetooth or WiFi,
just clicking the handheld device sends out a customizable SOS
message with exact GPS location coordinates to your Safeti circle
or private security professional, who then calls the user directly
to deescalate a threatening situation as well as inform friends,
family or 911 of the emergency if needed. You and your loved ones
can rest assured knowing that Safeti will be there when you need it
– available 24/7, 365 days a year. To order one today, visit
http://www.safeti.me.
Users create their personal Safeti circle, which is an emergency
contact list consisting of friends and/or family that the user can
change depending on what they are doing. One firm click, while
holding down for two seconds, sends a notification alert to the
users Safeti circle with their exact location as well as a
customized message. Three or more rapid clicks sends an emergency
alert to your Safeti circle as well as a security professional with
your exact GPS location coordinates and personalized alert message.
This prompts the security professional to call the user immediately
to assess and deescalate the situation, determining if the
emergency network or 911 should be contacted.
Safeti is perfect for:
- A child walking home from school
- A runner going on a nighttime jog
- Anyone on a night out in the city
- An elderly person fearing a medical emergency
- Anyone walking alone
By using the Safeti app, users can easily tailor a list of
emergency contacts, as well as an alert message that will be
received when trouble occurs. To maximize range and portability,
Safeti utilizes GPS satellite technology to pinpoint the users
exact location virtually anywhere in the world without the need for
Internet or phone connectivity. Safeti integrates a SIM card, which
is directly embedded into the device.
"Nearly one million missing persons cases are reported each year
and it's only natural to get nervous when you or your loved ones
are out alone," said Bill Huang, CEO
of Safeti. "Many people carry devices for personal defense, like
pepper spray or mace, but those can be dangerous for the user and
only act as a first line of defense. In an emergency, there are
only seconds to communicate the situation and your whereabouts. We
eliminated the time it takes to pull out your phone, decide who to
call, find their number and most importantly, what to say. Now you
can simply click a button and your emergency list receives an SOS
message from you with your exact location and a professional
security agent calls you."
In addition to emergency alerts, Safeti can also be set to
Monitor Mode for luggage, pets and personal items. Activate the GPS
locator and then attach the device to anything you want to
find.
The Safeti team has also taken the "It's On Us" pledge to help
keep children, women and men safe from sexual assault. It's a
promise not to be a bystander to the problem, but to be part of the
solution.
