Travel Safe with Smart Phone!

When you travel abroad, the odds are you will have a safe and incident-free trip. Travelers can, however, become victims of crime and violence, or experience unexpected difficulties. Unwary tourists can make easy targets for thieves because they stand out in a crowd, are unused to their surroundings, and are generally carrying money, credit cards and valuables like cameras. Certain safety tips are essential not only in developing countries like India but also all over the globe. To keep on the pleasant aroma till the end of the journey and make your journey more exciting, it is necessary to follow safety tips. Well you can find various tips on how to be safe while travelling, integrating smart phones with your safety plan can be a master stroke.

There are two ways to develop safety mechanisms. Plan your activities well and avoid risky places as far as possible. Second, develop a mechanism which ensures that your near and dear ones get alerts as soon as possible and they are in a position to take necessary action to maintain your safety. A simple smartphone with a smart application can be the mechanism we need. Download a safety app which will do the magic. There are few safety applications available on internet free of cost which caters to either medical emergency or safety or crisis. One application which is pretty comprehensive is ‘EYEWATCH'. It allows you to trigger instant emergency alerts to your trusted contacts, alerting them about your emergency with location, audio visuals situation and other critical details.

The application has the following features: -

    Sends SOS Alerts even if you're not connected to the GPRS
    Tracks your location even if you're inside a building or your GPS isn't working
    Instantly captures audio visual information of the emergency to share with your contacts
    Your family can track you when required in case of an emergency
    Confirms safety to your family without raising an SOS alert

Your pre saved contacts can determine the kind of emergency from the audio/video footage or phone calls that this application sends. In case of medical emergency your close one can send an ambulance. They will take any necessary measure to make sure you are safe.
