ionKids’ child lockdown monitoring system
Be it via RFID, webcam,
GPS, vending
machines or creepy
bears, there are plenty of ways to keep tabs on the little’uns. In the
ionKids’ system, parents use a wireless base station to track up to four
children, who each wear a wristag bracelet device that can only be removed
with a special key (is that safe?). The wristag even comes equipped with skin
sensors that will set off an alarm on both child’s and parent’s devices when
the gap between child and unit becomes too large (better not get itchy under
that bracelet, kid). The alarm also sounds if the child strays beyond the
range established by the parental overlords. Plus, for $200, the system comes
with cute little decorative stickers and bezels so you can both gloss it over
and pretend the whole process is actually very fun.
