Watchdog

Features Watchdog

Watchdog is a very usefull APP to help people who are victims of stalking and/or bullism, especially women and young people, but also to help every kind of person that works alone and/or in dangerous condictions or that live alone, such as old people.Watchdog is very easy to use.
First of all, you have to insert a telephone number to contact in case of danger (for example your parents, your partner or one of your friend’s telephone number)
Secondly , you have to touch the Watchdog Logo on your smartphone and the app will start to monitor your smartphone’s rake angle.
If your smartphone is positioned horizontally and it keeps this inclination more than 30 minutes, the Watchdog APP will start the alarm automatically.
After the start up phase, these 3 following operations will take place:
1° : the App will make automatically the phone call to the number you previously set up
2°: the App will send a message to inform the number about the adress where you start the alarm
3°: the device automatically will make a video for about 15 minutes to record what happens around the victim in order to use it in case of trial
Once you are safe, you can disarm the alarm simply touching again the Watchdog Logo
DETAILS
The APP does all the operations in background.
During the monitoring service you can use regularly your smartphone but pay attention to not keep your device horizontally for a long time.
During the emercency phase, the sleep mode will start automatically to avoid attracting the attention of the aggressor.
If you can’t obtain the adress, the Watchdog APP will send you the coordinates (latitudine/longitude) in order to make the position reachable in any case.
ADVICES
We advice you to keep always your smartphone in your hand or in pocket and not inside your bag because you might start the alarm even when you don’t need help.
For your first use of the monitoring service, we advice you to shake your smartphone in order to regulate and calibrate the motion sensor.
FURTHER UPGRADE
In the next upgrade, the video recorded by your device during the alarm phase will be sent to a Server Web so that, in case of theft or loss of your smartphone, you will be able to recover the video from the Watchdog web site.
