iPhone Application to help women with personal safety


A new iPhone application has been developed here on the Costa del Sol called KamAlert. This has been created to give iPhone users can have peace of mind, security and personal safety by turning an iPhone into a totally autonomous camera surveillance and Personal Alarm System.

There are two key features of this software:
Help Buttons which can be pressed in case of either a medical emergency or if the user is in personal danger to alert the authorities - These can be set to quickly get help if there is a medical emergency, or the user is in personal danger from an attack or mugging. This application will give peace of mind for lone people in threatening situations, people with known health conditions who are concerned about leaving the house alone and parents who want to know that their children can easily get help should there be a problem.


Surveillance mode to detect movement and take photos of intruders - When the surveillance mode has been set, the phone will detect any continuous motion or change in light and immediately takes photos of the intruder(s). Once the photos have been taken, it sequentially sends SMS text messages, and photos via emails to the programmed contacts.


How can it help you?

· Walking alone at night – If you feel threatened whilst you are walking alone, then you can get the application ready with the help button showing and keep it in your pocket. This means that if someone does approach you, then you can hit the help button straight-away and inform your contact numbers that you are in danger. The phone can also sound an alarm to frighten the attacker away before you contact the emergency services.

· Medical emergency – If you have a health complaint or should a medical emergency occur whilst you are on your own, you can use KamAlert to contact the emergency services and your loved ones to ensure help comes quickly. Simply load the application and click on the medical alert button to contact your pre-programmed contacts, which could include your doctor or hospital. The iPhone will also provide your exact GPS co-ordinates so you will be found easily.

· Security on holiday – It can be very difficult to protect your belongings and even your family when on holiday in rented accommodation or hotel rooms without security systems. Leaving valuables and passports unattended can be a great cause for concern, which can be overcome by using your iPhone with the KamAlert Surveillance System to monitor the room.
If you go out for the day, or even just to a restaurant, you can get the application to text your partner’s phone, the hotel concierge or property management company if anyone enters your property. This can also be used effectively once the children are in bed to make sure no one enters the room and the children do not leave the room. This makes a handy alternative to bringing a baby monitor.
