Being a parent is an anxious business. First your kids are utterly helpless, and then they become teenagers and they’re gone, taking their first steps alone in the big bad world.
ADT Go is a great way to dial down the anxiety, by materially reducing the risk that anything will go wrong for you and your loved ones.
If you’re a security-minded person you may already be using some of ADT’s security services. Founded in 1874, it’s a company with a lot of experience in the area. ADT Go is a mobile app spinoff that turns your smartphone into a surprisingly comprehensive security tool.
For a start, it lets you keep tabs on your family using real-time GPS and private maps. In one of those miracles of the modern age, you’ll be able to watch your loved ones as blips on a map when they’re miles away.
In addition, you can set this tracker to give you notifications at certain points, such as when “the target” leaves school, stops driving, or gets home.
Not only that, but you can see exactly how they drove, with the app collecting data on stuff like phone use while driving, the speed of the car, and everything right down to how fast the vehicle accelerated and slowed down during the journey.
And here’s where it gets really interesting. If your loved one is involved in a crash, the app can send a rapid SOS, alerting first responders to their plight automatically. Alternatively, you can summon help instantly with the handy SOS button. You can even summon roadside assistance in the event of a breakdown.
Finally, crime. ADT Go lets you scope places out before you go to them (or while you’re in them for that matter), to see how many crimes have been committed there, what kind, and how often.
If you’re already an ADT customer, the good news is that ADT Go is completely free to download and use. In fact, it’s free to anybody as long as you only want to use the family tracker and crime map functionality – for everything else it’s $9.99 a month.
You can download ADT Go for free right now on the App Store and Google Play.
