Cons
- The website used for all tracking and reporting IS NOT HTTPS (secured using TLS / SSL); your logon and password are sent unencrypted for the tracking portal. I would expect that at least the logon part of the session to use HTTPS.
- Your entire browsing session for the SpyTec Portal IS NOT HTTPS; anyone able to sniff your network traffic knows exactly what you are browsing while on the Portal
- The GPS seems to be off by up to about 30-40 feet on our unit; may lead to improper street address resolution. We've found this to be the case if the unit is indoors, or outdoors, but especially if it's inside a building somehow.
- The web portal seems to be geared to tracking "drivers," as if this product is only to be used for tracking vehicles. Not a big deal, but it is small enough to be able to be used for just about any useful GPS purpose. Not exactly a con, but it does make using the web portal slightly strange.
Pros
- The SpyTec web portal is well thought out in general
- The web portal can be accessed from any modern browser, not limiting you to a specific Android or iOS application, for example
- The service does allow you to define areas to be notified when the GPS leaves / returns to certain area
- It appears to be much more effective than bracelet GPS devices sold for children, especially in that it works to some extent inside buildings
- Mapping / Reporting is based on Google Maps, and that's pretty nice
Background:
We purchased this unit to track our 3 year old child that suffers from an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. He's doing well, but he can't communicate well verbally. Recently, he ran away in a large mall, and it was nearly impossible to find him, let alone track him. After doing a fair bit of research it was clear that many of the devices on the market do not work well inside buildings, etc. We purchased this unit to enable us to be able to find him in a mall.
Our success is mixed, but it DOES generate enough information to allow law enforcement to know where to look. Moreover, you can give them the logon and let them search with as close to real time data as you can get.
On an adult sized individual, the device would be fairly small. On a small child, the belt clip would be a decent size, and would likely be noticed. However, if put inside a jacket or coat, the device is easy to hide and harder to find. (The down side would be if the coat was taken off...)
I do want to be VERY clear about the lack of security on the Spy Tec website portal. There is none.
It's extremely odd that in this day and age they would not have a secure website. The fact that the logon (at minimum) is not HTTPS (specifically TLS if you know what that is) means that your user ID and password are easily picked up.
DO NOT USE A STANDARD USER ID OR PASSWORD WITH THE SPY TEC WEB PORTAL.
+++++++++++++
A few minutes after posting my original review on Amazon, I received a phone call from the company discussing the issues I raised (when you sign up to their service they ask for your Amazon order #, so I guess that's how they were able to track me). So first of all, I give their customer's service 5 stars. They care very much about their customers' experience and I find this very refreshing.
The person who called me explained to me the inaccuracy issue: Turns our that on battery operated GPS there will always be "ghosting" (meaning, the location shown could be off by several feet) but ONLY when the GPS is stationary, in order to conserve battery life. And indeed, when I checked the accuracy when the car was moving, the GPS was right on. And indeed the battery lasts much more that the 5 days I originally had, it actually depends on how much you're driving. My MasTrack GPS that I compared this one to is connected to the car, so it's always powered, that's why I don't have the ghosting effect on it.
So if accuracy is very important to you, keep in mind that with battery operated GPS, when the GPS is not moving the location may be off (from my experience it was off by up to about 150 feet). I've decided that for me it's not going to be a deal breaker.
As per lack of app, I learned that they do have an android app, but are still testing their ios one. I am looking forward to the app, as it is much needed. I saved their mobile webpage on my iphone's home screen, but that's no replacement.
Once they have a working ios app and have better instructions (it's surprising that they have such a great feature - SOS button - and they don't mention it at all, I found out about it by reading some reviews on Amazon), I could definitely give them 5 stars. Their stellar customer service already deserves the 5 stars!.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
++++++++++++++++
I first got the MasTrack unit (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006VHF9TI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) , and it's awesome. It uses only GPS, no cell data. It is very precises, they have a convenient app, and their customer service is superb. The unit is much cheaper, and the monthly plan is cheaper as well.
For a second unit I decided to get Spy Tec. I wanted a battery operated device and thought I'd check out another service. The verdict - so so.
Pros:
=====
- No problem setting up
- You can set up the device to send an SOS message (more on this later)
- It works
Cons:
=====
- No mobile app. That's a major con. You can open a browser on your smartphone, but it's not working as well as an app. On the answers section here on Amazon I see the company replied back in Aug 2014 that an app will be available soon. Nada. A major minus.
- Most important: The tracking is completely inaccurate, I'd say the radius can be about 150 of your true location.
- The device and the monthly plans are more expensive than Mas Track.
- The battery doesn't last 14 days but about 5 days.
- The online instructions are useless. It doesn't even mention that SOS function.
So here's how to activate it: Log on to your account. Change Settings -->Change Alert Settings -->Function Key Alert - put a check mark there to turn on and click submit. Make sure to add email or phone # also under Change Settings. Then whenever you press the reset button (I noticed that you need to press it aprox. 2-3 seconds), you'll get a message showing you the button has been pressed and the coordinates of where the unit was when the button was pressed. Nice. However, when I try it several consecutive times, it gave me different coordinates.
All in all, it's an OK device. Accuracy should be improved (I assume the fault lies with relying on cell signal and not gps exclusively), an app should be available, and prices should be lowered. Then it can compete with Mas Track.
Top reviews from other countries
Pros:
-easy to use the device, just charge and it automatically sends/receives cell and GPS signals.
-The app displays very clearly and accurately the current location, as well as the route it took when moving. (I took it on a bike ride around the city and it was 100% accurate with my route updating all the time)
- the app tells you when the device moves, and when it stops moving.
- the app tells you how fast the device was moving as well
- the app displays the battery remaining on the device, just as it would for a cell phone (in %)
- easy to add device to app to track
Cons:
-The device is a bit larger then I expected, and weighs the same as a cell phone. The device is as deep as it is wide. The pictures dont really show that.
- Registering for a account login to the app was a bit harder then i expected, it is slightly confusing process and wasnt easy to find the site to sign up. but once it was found it was ok.
-You need to buy a subscription from them to use the app. You pay when you add the device, so you dont see anything until you pay. It says 30$ for monthly, but in can $ its ~45$. This is ok for a once a year trip, activate it for a month durring trip, but it would not be great for long term use, it would be expensive, but then again it is practically a cell phone.
The only issue I’ve noticed so far is it didn’t detect one of my trips for some reason but it did ultimately update to my location once I had arrived, just without alerts.
Hopefully this isn’t a frequent issue.
