What is KidGuard?
KidGuard is a kids’ safety smart watch designed to track and pinpoint your children’s location at all times through a modified GPS system.
How does it work?
The watch indicates your child’s location via a GPS tracker, which parents can access through the KidGuard app on their mobile phones. KidGuard links with two phone numbers and can perform incoming and outgoing calls to authorised contacts, anywhere and anytime. In addition, the watch includes an SOS button. When a child feels unsafe, notifications can be sent to the registered contacts. KidGuard also offers a cloud-based data storage system to save previously visited locations.
Which SIM cards does it support in the UAE?
KidGuard is compatible with both du and etisalat.
Can the smart watch be used in other countries?
KidGuard can be used in different countries. It can work on both local and international (roaming SIM cards) networks. We recommend using local SIM cards.
What is the radius of the KidGuard’s coverage?
There is no limit to the area covered; parents can even choose to create a ‘Safe Zone’. Whenever your child leaves the assigned ‘Safe Zone’, the designated contacts will be notified through the mobile app.
How did you come up with the idea of KidGuard?
The idea was started at home by co-founder Mohammad Bakkour, who is an uncle to multiple neices and nephews. Feeling overwhelmed about keeping them safe when babysitting, Bakkour took the initiative to start KidGuard after doing research and discovering that very few child-tracking devices were available in the market. He then approached me with the concept, and together we brought this idea to life.
Where is it available and how much does it cost?
