How does the location tracking of Kloki watches work?

As parents, we understand how important it is to keep track of where your children are, even when you are not with them. Smartwatch Kloki They allow you to easily and accurately track their location thanks to a combination of several localization technologies. We will explain how these technologies work and what to do in case the watch loses signal.

How does location tracking work with Kloki watches?

Watches Kloki they use three different technologies to determine location, in order to provide the most accurate data under all circumstances:

  1. GPS (Global Positioning System)
    GPS is the best choice if the device has access to a strong signal, typically in open spaces or in cities. This technology provides accuracy of two meters, which is ideal for tracking your children's movements outdoors.

  2. Wi-Fi localization
    If the GPS signal is not available, for example inside buildings, the Kloki watch will switch to Wi-Fi localization. This technology provides an approximate location with an accuracy of up to ten meters.

  3. BTS localization (Cell Tower-Based Location)
    When GPS and Wi-Fi are out of range, the watch uses BTS localization, which searches for the nearest mobile transmitters. Although it is not as accurate, it still provides you with an approximate location, which is useful when looking for children in areas with limited signal.

What to do if the watch does not display the correct location?

There will be situations when the watch will not be able to display the exact location, for example, due to a weak signal or the absence of GPS and Wi-Fi networks. In such cases, the Kloki app will show you the most up-to-date available location or approximate location using BTS localization.

What does it look like in practice?

Imagine you are at work and want to make sure your child arrived safely at school or their after-school activity. Just a few clicks in the Kloki mobile app and you can instantly find out where your child is – maybe on the school playground or at a friend's house. If necessary, you can also send voice message or to the child call directly.

What to do when the watch has no signal?

If the watch has no signal and cannot locate the position, you do not need to worry. The app will show you the last known exact location along with any approximate current location, if available. This will give you at least a rough overview of where your child was last located.

Tip for the end

If you only see an approximate location after requesting the location in the Kloki app, try again in a moment. Children are constantly on the move and the signal may change, so you may receive more accurate data in a few seconds.
