Securi-Guard Monitoring Services has a contract with True-Kare, to provide round the clock monitoring for UK users of its GPS Tracker device.
Designed for use by ‘at risk’ groups such as lone workers, vulnerable adults, children and those with serious medical conditions, the tracker will be monitored at Plymouth-based Securi-Guard’s National Security Inspectorate (NSI) Gold BS 8484 Lone Worker Monitoring Centre.
The monitoring services will be provided for the clients of True-Kare’s UK suppliers and distributors – and Securi-Guard will also be able to sell the GPS Tracker devices to its own customers, through True-Kare.
Pete Stanley, Head of Telematics at Securi-Guard Monitoring Services, said: “We have built up very strong partnerships with manufacturers, suppliers and distributors around the world, who are at the forefront of lone worker devices and True-Kare are very much part of that select group. Increasingly, clients are seeing the high standards we set for monitoring excellence and recognise we have the necessary infrastructure and expertise in place to deliver a service we firmly believe is second to none.”
Based in Portugal, True-Kare offers ‘assisted living solutions’ for use by care providers to improve the safety, as well as quality of life, for those in their care.
The GPS Tracker is one of a number of electronic products True-Kare offers that enable users to be tracked by Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) in the event of an emergency. As well as ‘live’ GPS location the device will also give a history of previous locations. Small for discreet concealment in clothing, the device also features an in-built SOS button, so users can raise the alarm if they are in immediate need of help.
