What Is Geofencing?
Geofencing is exactly what it sounds like — a combination of geolocation and fencing. Still confused? It’s actually really easy to understand. Imagine a fence in your backyard. It keeps things in your house safe. For example, with your fence, your dog can’t escape. And a fence also makes it harder for intruders or other animals to enter your yard. Now imagine if you could get alerted should your dog hop over the fence. Or imagine you could find out if someone entered your yard. That, in a nutshell, is geofencing.
But instead of it being limited to your yard, geofencing is limited to, well, the world. With iPhone geofencing and Android geofencing, you can set an invisible fence around any area you want on a map. If your kid enters or leaves the virtual fence you’ve set, you’ll be notified.
How Does Geofencing Work?
Geofencing apps work by leveraging the GPS that’s built into a kid’s device. With mSpy’s GPS geofencing technology, you can set safe zones (or danger zones). When your kid enters or exits one of those zones, you’ll be notified. It’s an easy way to keep them out of trouble and help make sure they’re safe.
How Geofencing Can Keep Them Out of Trouble
Whether you’re looking for iPhone geofencing or an Android geofencing solution, mSpy fits the bill. And if you don’t think you need a GPS geofencing solution in your corner, read on. We’re willing to bet your kid fits into one of these categories. If they do, it’s time for a GPS geofencing solution like mSpy.
The partier. You know which kids we’re talking about. They love to hang out at friends’ houses and bounce from party to party on a Friday night. You’ve given them permission to hang out with friends, and while you understand they might move from one party to the next, you want to make sure they aren’t going to an area of town that you don’t approve of. With a geofencing app in your corner, you can get alerted if they attend somewhere they shouldn’t.
The studier. You’ve probably used the same excuse when you were a kid. It’s a Thursday night, and you’re heading to a friend’s house to study. You packed your bags in your backpack and went out the door. And as far as your parents were concerned, that was the truth. If your kids are anything like you, they’ll try the same plan. But with geofencing apps in your corner, you can make sure they’re going where they say they’re going. Just set a zone around the house they claim to be hanging out at. If they leave the house, you’ll know.
The explorer. It’s a random Saturday afternoon and your kid wants to head out with friends to just enjoy life. You were a kid once and you loved doing the same thing. But you also know that not every part of town is suitable for kids. You don’t want them ending up on the wrong side of the tracks. That’s where GPS geofencing comes in. If they enter an area you don’t approve of, you’ll get a notification on your phone.
The runaway. Did you ever run away from home when you were a kid? Even if just for a few hours, it can be devastating to parents. With geo fencing in your arsenal, you’ll know where your kids are. Remember, you can even set your house to be a safe zone, so if you’re out looking for them and they return home, you’ll know about it.
The bullied. If your kid is being bullied, geofencing software might not seem like the obvious solution to keep them safe. But in a way, it can help. By setting safe zones around areas that you know bullies frequent, you can get notified if they’re approaching an area where bullying might occur. Of course, geofencing doesn’t guarantee that they won’t be bullied. After all, bullies can travel. But it will give you some sense of peace of mind.
The unpredictable. You know the type. They say they’re running to the store to grab a soda. The next thing you know, 3 hours have gone by and there’s no sign of them. You start to worry. Then another few hours set in. And then you start to panic. As you’re about to call the police, they walk through the doors with that soda they allegedly went out for, plus a few shopping bags. It turns out they got sidetracked, ran into some friends, decided to hit the mall, and lost track of time. If this situation sounds familiar, consider a GPS geofencing solution. It’ll let you know if they venture out of the agreed-upon area.
