BoB provides peace of mind by monitoring the interior of your car.
What does BeaconOnBoard do? If a child is inside and the car is getting too hot, it will send a notification to your phone along with a live picture from inside your car. It can be configured to notify any number of emergency contacts.
How does BeaconOnBoard work?
There is no physical installation procedure required. BoB is a small device and can be simply be left in the car.
The user provides a phone number and/or email address to receive notifications from the device. Any number of emergency contacts can be added.
The device uses sensors and a camera to monitor temperature and motion inside the car and sends a notification to subscribers' phones in case of danger (i.e. there is a child locked in car and the temperature is above a limit). The notification contains a picture of the car interior, the temperature inside the car and the elapsed time since danger was detected.
From the notification page on the web or Android app, the user can dial 911, alert people near the car, or dismiss the alert and reset the device.
