In Chenango county , NY approx. 6 months ago a murder trial took place
because of evidence created from a avery similar device.  Last year a
suspicous wife secretly had a GPS tracking device added to her husbands work
vehicle because he was suspected of foul play. Days later the husband was
supposedly taking the babysitter home and "accidentally" ran her over,
killing her. He was questioned and his story didn't add up.  He was
elsewhere, etc... But law enforcement kept pushing and his story kept
changing.  Wife disclosed the GPS tracking device, and law enforcement was
able to determine he was lying and reconstruct his wherabouts, creating a
case against him. Young girl didn't cooperate and fled from his attack, and
he ran her over on a back road, killing her- according to prosecution.
That device may have helped catch a killer who otherwise may have never been
caught.
Crazy times nowadays.
Here's a link to the story from local new station:

Just one example of how these little devices can be used.  "Good or bad"

You guys are asking some great question....I will get some answers ASAP.
Thanks and keep those comments coming, if you can.
We are soon releasing a concealable unit that can mount under the dash and
have an external antenna. Personally, I would prefer that, especially if I
were monitoring a teen. Then their friends would not "see" it and it could
not be moved from car to car. There are programmable buttons on the sides of
the device, but, to tell the truth, I am not sure about the status of using
them just yet.

Thank you, each and every one,
Barbara


One thing I didn't see listed was the GPS accuracy though. Currently with
chaperone it gets addresses and locations wrong. Given the results I get I
would say its got a few hundred feet of "tolerance"... What is the
approximate locational accuracy of the iSight?


Would it be reasonable to track someone's movement on bicycle, bus, or foot?
How about an option for it to monitor a connection to the car's 12V battery,
say, through the cigarette lighter or under the dash?  It would be difficult
to disconnect it and connect it to another 12V source without interrupting
the power for a few seconds.  It could report +12V interruption times and
durations to the tracking user.  How about a button on the unit that the
tracked people could press to indicate an emergency or while on the phone to
prove the unit is in their possession at that time rather than with their
friend at the library?  Of course, nothing would beat having it built into a
phone.

My concern would be the transfer of the unit to another vehicle easily, it
should contain something that would notify if a transfer to another vehicle
had taken place.    Let's say your youth decides to take a trip and doesn't
want you to know about it... puts it in their friends car (which
coincidently is going to the library)... and takes their trip out of state.
Also the unit could be mistaken for a object that may want to be stolen, I
would think it should be hidden with a safety seal and a remote antenna
mounted in the window.
Good luck either way !


If you have a few minutes, please go to our web site for our new product and
then tell me what you think.
We just began marketing a GPS monitoring device and would value input from
this technical group.
