YOU are the priority.

Emergency Network Facility

Try it out

The Emergency Network Facility allows the member’s mobile phone to become a 24 hour a day mobile “panic” button, anywhere within the borders of South Africa. The service does work worldwide – subject to T&Cs. This service is dependent on cellular phone reception, sufficient airtime and data, battery life, the GPS being enabled and third-party affiliations.

The push of the panic button immediately activates the mobile phone tracking facility and sends a text message alert to each of the member’s (up to eight) Guardians, notifying them that the member is in trouble. The text message will contain a link to a landing page, of which will have the following details on it:

  • • A map showing the GPS coordinates of the mobile phone - of which will update every several seconds whilst active. This facility will track the mobile phone’s location from where the panic button was activated, until such time as the facility is de-activated on the mobile phone or the member goes out of the app.
  • • A ten second front facing video clip taken from the member’s phone upon activation of the alert- of which will upload shortly after the alert has been activated, taking into account the time it will take to record the video clip.
  • • A 60 second audio clip taken from the member’s phone upon activation of the alert- of which will upload shortly after the alert has been activated, taking into account the time it will take to record the audio clip.

The application goes dark upon activation of the panic button and will remain in a “black out” mode whilst active. The alert will deactivate when the member inputs their password, or alternatively if the phone is switched off or goes dead.

Benefits

Your emergency network is beneficial because your Guardians can immediately respond once they have received the text alert. There is no time delay in calling one person, who for any number of reasons may not be able to answer. There is also no time delay in trying to explain your situation or whereabouts. In addition, being unable to talk or not make noise for any reason does not prevent you from using your Emergency Network Facility. Additionally, the audio and video features allow you to capture your surroundings without having to make a noise, unless of course you do have the opportunity to say one or two words to explain your situation. These features therefore work for both types of situations.

Your Guardians are people with close relationships with you. Howler Monkey gives them the opportunity to share their information amongst each other, as well as the real time information and onward tracking of your phone. This is the critical difference with Howler Monkey – sharing real time, you-specific information with people who will make you the ONLY priority. Lastly, and most importantly - Your Howler Monkey is as close to you as you keep your mobile phone! .

(Smart phone and network dependent. Airtime and data dependent.) Works anywhere in the world.

It really does offer me peace of mind knowing that I have a say in my loved one’s safety. It’s not a service to me, but a way of life.
