CELLULAR MONITORING

1.- LOCATION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

- ​ Missing person.-(Make known through social networks and chat), (Shout - zone or
perimeter), 2 kilometer alert - to users.
- ​ Kidnapping.-(GPS – Panic button), (cell phone) – Controlled Routing.
- ​ Assault the Robot.-(Panic button) – the ability to report the incident via a website,
any cell phone, text message, or phone, or GPS devices with a panic button.
- ​ Accidents.- Make your situation or emergency known (Location)
a. At work: Burns, frostbite, immersion, electrocution, etc.
b. At home: Poisoning, burns, sprains, suicide attempts, fire, falls.
c. Traffic: collisions, crashes, run-overs, rollovers, ravines.
d. To pedestrians: Falls, run over, assault, robbery, dog bites, kidnappings,
etc.
e. Emergency.- Heart attack, fainting, illness (everything related to health) locate, evacuate
to the nearest hospital or contact ambulances, and inform the COMPETENT AUTHORITIES
FOR ASSISTANCE.
f. In the field: Falls, animal attacks, traffic accidents, fires, etc.
g. In childhood: falls, poisoning and burns.
h. At school: Falls, injuries.
i. Elderly people with Alzheimer's.-(GPS monitoring – Panic button – cell phones or special
button).
2.- WHEN USING THE PANIC BUTTON OR TRYING TO TURN OFF THE CELL PHONE

​ - Location

​ - Photography

​ - Audio

​ - Video

3.- SIMPLIFY THE NOTICE OR EMERGENCY IN THE ICONS OR ORGANIZATION OF THE APPLICATION

OBSERVATIONS
1. ​ As a company,When receiving a panic alert (EMERGENCY CRY or HELP), make it
known and inform the police authorities for assistance.
2. ​ When the client(AFFECTED PERSON) reports a robbery or event suffered, the
company immediately activates the silence switch and begins the search and informs the
police.
4.- AVOID CELL PHONE THEFT

- ​ Silent shutdown.- allows tracking of the cell phone and its location.
- ​ Password in the application.- (avoid uninstallation), turning off the cell phone when
the user is using it.
- ​ User code

THE SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SECURITY AND MONITORING IN THE


FOLLOWING:

panic button on mobility, cell phone).
- ​ SEARCH FOR PEOPLE:Provide drone overflights in floods, fires, and natural disasters.
(Pending)
- ​ HOME: Another activity to be carried out with the company is to provide security
to homes and businesses, with the installation of security cameras, alarms, and panic
buttons in case of theft, robbery, etc.
- ​ DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:By installing panic buttons, the wife or female partner will be
able to access the SCREAM through her cell phone, website, text message, or telephone,
with the added advantage that she is the only one who knows about the devices.
- ​ PANIC BUTTON:Panic button for the family, for all members, in case of emergency
(robbery, mugging, accident, etc.) and the objective is to provide a prompt reaction, the
REAL COORDINATES of the addresses must be determined.
- ​ MONITORING CHILDREN:Whether at home or at school, it is to provide a GPS and
the routing of their activities, providing security instructions (such as the password)
