Track Your Teen with a Live Streaming 4G DashCam?

Parents have always looked for new ways of parenting.
There never has been a manual for this life changing event.
We listen to friends for advice. Read the latest articles to find some new way to enhance our ability to monitor our kids.

Things have changed in the world we live in and the need to monitor has become more apparent.
We find kids on the most part, want to do the right things. It could be just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Sometimes it can be being with the wrong friends at the wrong time.

Tracking Teen DriversTeen driving is a right of passage.

Freedom.

The ability to be on your own.
With the freedom, comes responsibility.
So many distraction!
Social Media.
Having to see what your BFF's our saying while your driving.
"I must keep in touch"
This leads to distracted driving.

GPS Tracker

Some parents have put a GPS Tracker on their kids cars.
Thats a good start.
Know where your teens are gives "Peace of Mind".


But what are they doing while they are driving?
Texting, Tweeting, Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat are can distract your young driver, all the while their are to be focusing on the road.

Looking down at your cell phone, for only 2 seconds, a vehicle can travel over the length of a football field?


Scary. isnt it?

The latest in technology, the in vehicle camera has possibly been a thought.
Price may have been a deterrent.

3G Live Video DashCamBut now you can have a dashcam with live streaming video. Yes you can view this 2 camera system, while the vehicle is moving down the street, LIVE.
it also can be equipped with a GPS Tracking package.
All of this for under $500.00 for the DashCam. Monitoring can be as low as $24.95
Small compact in design and having the ability to streaming video now makes a lot of sense.


Let me know your thoughts.

We are always trying to find the latest in technology to help you in raising your children.

Another Father Wants to Track His Daughter.

We get these all the time.
A Father calls us up and says he wants to track his Child.
He is hesitant to do so, not sure if it is the right thing to do.
Is he invading her privacy?
Is he going to far?
Let me share with you my situation.
I own a tracking company
I have three daughter, one who has moved out and married. Another who has just moved out and a third who is still in High School.
I tracked them all. They knew. Sometimes they didn't like it, but now the oldest tells the younger ones, it was out of LOVE. Yes we did it because we LOVE them. Not because we didn't trust them. Well maybe we didn't, but we wanted them to be safe.
Now the youngest calls us and say, I am lost, HELP. We log onto our system and see exactly where she is and walk her through the turns needed to get to a highway.
Sounds crazy, but we would not have it any other way.
Speed alerts, odd hours or operation, all come to our cell phone, letting us know what is going on.
Today it is to easy to lie about where you are or have been.
It is easy to operate and simple to use.
We have parent with ignition shut off switches installed on their kids car with the tracking unit. you have to choose how you want to handle your child. With these devices, you now how the information  you need to make better decisions.
With the Plug and Play design, you can move them from car to car, just that easy.
No long term contract to sign either.
If you are thinking of tracking you child, you should check this link out.

Oh and it is good for tracking elderly parents too.

Is Teen Tracking Technology Worth Looking Into?


Teen tracking technology provides families the various tools to aid their teen youngsters exercise the liberty they desire while allowing mom and dad to discover exactly where they may be as well as if they are safe and sound. When, for instance, you track your youth vehicle, you are able to keep track of speed and location of the vehicle, obtain notifications when the vehicle is relocated or stolen, as well as generate a "perimeter” around locations your teenagers are or aren't allowed to go. Generally there are many apparent advantages of making use of teen tracking technology. Many of these devices will give you each, the home address and also the name of the place where the youngster can be found. Teen tracking works extremely well in tracking your adolescence's actions:
  •           Keeps track of speed
  •          Keep track of engine idle times
  •          Keep track of accepted and unaccepted destinations
  •          Keep track of your teenagers driving abilities
  •          Keep track of if other people are inside the car
  •         Keep track of most regularly visited destinations
  •         Set a perimeter-wall around unwanted locations


The fact is that the real danger is knowing that no teenager contains the expertise to think realistically during a panic situation. Isn't teen tracking well worth the expense? Isn't it time for you to discuss to your son or daughter the real dangers of teen driving and the need for tracking their vehicle. The protection of your children as well as your peace of mind is a good enough reason why all parents should think about teen tracking.

Does it Make Sense to Track Your Kid?

Lately, we have seen a lot more parent want to track their teen driving kids. 
We continue to answer multiple questions regarding parents need to track their kids.

Here are a few that we hear:

Am I invading their privacy?

Short answer is yes. Know where they are or what they are doing is not a bad thing. Today, there are so many dangers for kids, from driving fast, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or just stay out to late.
These are things that we can help them make better decisions in situations that can impact their lives.
Too many tickets, they lose their license. Driving too fast causes more accidents. Stay out too late can create tension in the house.

Will they know I am tracking them?

Eventually the answer will be yes. Installing a tracking device in a vehicle can be made where no one knows it is there. But once you catch them in a lie, or drive too fast, it will come out in the open. We always suggest the honest approach. Letting them you want to give them their freedom, but need to be aware of where they are. You can use reference to events that have happened in the community, which could young drivers involved in accidents.
Another great reason is for the insurance discounts that are given to vehicles that have a tracker on them. Track all cars, so that they think it is for insurance reasons and not just for them.

What do I do when I catch them?

This is a difficult question to answer. They are many responses that can be used. It depends on the child, their past history, and the event. We always encourage NOT using the Big Brother, I am watching you approach. Discuss how they could have done things differently. I coaching and counseling approach always seems to be more influential then the hard handed approach.

Information is good. Knowing how you teen drive drives is good. With a GPS tracking device you have the ability to obtain more information.

Use it wisely.

Have questions?
Let us know. We have helped families since 2002 with their tracking needs.

Teen Driving, How To Reduce the Risk.


Traffic crashes are the leading cause of teen fatalities, accounting for 44% of teen deaths in the U.S. 
The National Safety Council sees the issue as a national crisis. We have segmented the problem into three distinct areas, and have adopted strategies to address each of them:
Reducing risk
We're on a mission to inform parents of teen drivers that they can beat the odds. In November 2002, papers prepared by acknowledged experts were presented at the "Symposium on Graduated Driver Licensing: Documenting the Science of GDL." The proceedings provide a comprehensive review of the research that has been done on teenage driver safety issues.
Since the symposium was held, the National Safety Council and its partners in teen driving safety have been distilling the scientific research to present the facts to driver safety professionals and to families, using a variety of methods,
Our new Alive at 25 Parent Program is developed specifically for parents of new drivers. This innovative 3-hour course helps parents partner with their teens to help them become safe, responsible, and defensive drivers.
The new Family Guide to Teen Driver Safety is one way we are helping families understand the truth about risks, and the practical wisdom of graduated privileges.
NSC and its local chapters will be holding parent workshops to introduce the Family Guide to parents. If you are interested in attending a workshop in your area, please send us an e-mail at support@nsc.org with your name, address and phone number. A representative from the NSC chapter in your area will contact you.
Each year, the Journal of Safety Research® publishes articles summarizing recent graduated driver licensing and tee driver research..
This collection of web pages is another way. We will be adding to the information here, so be sure up sign up with your e-mail address to receive reminders to check back for new content.
Traffic safety programs for teens are often designed to help teens modify their own driving behavior to reduce risk of crashes. But we know that many teens have difficulty regulating their risk-taking behavior, and recent research is beginning to give us insight into why. Researchers are finding that the area of the brain that governs weighing consequences of one’s actions, suppressing impulses and organizing thoughts does not fully mature until about age 25. In addition, hormones are active and influencing the brain’s neurochemicals that regulate excitability and mood. This can result in thrill-seeking behavior and other experiences that create intense feelings, during years when the brain’s ability to make people more responsible is not yet fully mature. It’s also during these years that teenagers typically learn to drive.
A balanced approach to traffic safety for young drivers should not depend entirely on teens regulating their own driving behavior. Many factors influence teen driving, including friends and peer pressure, a belief in invincibility, and physiological changes. 
Defensive Driving Course-Alive at 25 can help teens deal with these issues that can influence their driving behavior.
By adding a GPS Tracking Device to your child's vehicle, you can help reduce speeding and work with your child on driving behavior.can provide the necessary information to help reduce speeding.
Developing skills
Driver education programs can prepare young people to drive and can play a role in helping teens to begin developing driving skills. However, completion of driver education does not mean that teens are then ready to manage a full range of driving challenges. What research shows is more important to safe driving is the opportunity to improve driving skills through gradual exposure to increasingly-challenging driving tasks. Teens become safer drivers as they build driving experience and develop safe driving habits and behaviors.
Driver education can help provide the foundation for safe behaviors through knowledge and practicing beginning skills. Driver education should be viewed as the beginning of a process through which teens learn valuable driving skills and the experience necessary to make them safe drivers. Parents should not rely solely on driver education to provide teens the significant knowledge and experience that they need to become safe drivers. Too often, completing driver education is viewed as the end of the learning process, rather than the beginning. In some states, the completion of driver education qualifies a teen for full driving privileges. The National Safety Council believes this is not a wise approach. Research has shown that significant hours of behind-the-wheel experience are necessary to reduce crash involvement risk. In the process of obtaining that experience through the first two years of driving, the risk of crash involvement can be reduced through state-imposed graduated licensing and parental restrictions.

Given the option of contesting a traffic ticket, most motorists – 19 out of 20 by some estimates – would rather pay up than pit their word against a police officer's in court.


A retired sheriff's deputy nevertheless hopes to beat the long odds of the law by setting the performance of a police officer's radar gun against the accuracy of the GPS tracking device he installed in his teenage stepson's car.

The retired deputy, Roger Rude, readily admits his 17-year-old stepson, Shaun Malone, enjoys putting the pedal to the metal. That's why he and Shaun's mother insisted on putting a global positioning system that monitors the location and speed of the boy's Toyota Celica.

Shaun complained bitterly about his electronic chaperone until it became his new best friend on July 4, when he was pulled over and cited for going 62 mph in a 45 mph zone.

Rude encouraged him to fight the ticket after the log he downloaded using software provided by the GPS unit's Colorado-based supplier showed Shaun was going the speed limit within 100 feet of where a Petaluma officer clocked him speeding.

"I'm not trying to get a guilty kid off," Rude said. "I've always had faith in our justice system. I would like to see the truth prevail and I would like Shaun to see that the system works."

Though traffic courts do not routinely accept GPS readouts as evidence of a vehicle's speed – and many GPS receivers aren't capable of keeping records anyway – some tech-savvy drivers around the world slowly are starting to use the technology to challenge moving violations, according to anecdotal accounts from defense lawyers and law enforcement officials.

This summer, for instance, an Australian farmer became a hero to speeders everywhere when he got a ticket dismissed after presenting police with data from his tracking device.

While winning a case this way is far from a sure thing, GPS-generated evidence could at least inject an element of doubt into typically one-sided proceedings, said Jim Baxter, president of the National Motorists Association.

A Sonoma County traffic commissioner is expected to rule within the next two weeks whether to dismiss Shaun's ticket based on Rude's written argument that the motorcycle officer's radar gun was either improperly calibrated or thrown off by another speeding car.

"Radar is a pretty good tool, but it's not an infallible tool," said Rude, who spent 31 years in law enforcement. "With the GPS tracker, there is no doubt about it. There is no human interference."

Rude plans to offer scientific data and experts if his challenge doesn't succeed right away.

Petaluma police Lt. John Edwards said he could not discuss Shaun's case but disputed Rude's contention that GPS is more accurate than a speed gun.

"GPS works on satellite signals, so you have a delay of some type," Edwards said. "Is it a couple-second delay? A 30-second delay? Because in that time people can speed up, slow down."

The device in Shaun's car, originally designed for trucking companies, rental car agencies and other businesses with fleets, sends a signal every 30 seconds that records his whereabouts and travel speed.

His parents signed up to be automatically notified by e-mail whenever he exceeded 70 mph, and the one time he did he lost his driving privileges for 10 days.

Rude said he is talking about the ticket – Shaun has tried to stay out of it – to encourage other parents to keep tabs on their teenage drivers using GPS. He said he has told too many parents their child was killed in a wreck.

David W. Brown, a Monterey lawyer and author of "Fight Your Ticket in California," said attacking the reliability of radar guns does not usually get speeders very far, especially if they are unwilling to devote extra time and money to hiring legal experts.

Still, among people who do challenge tickets, the proportion who triumph is relatively large, he said. Their technique? Betting the officer who cited them will be unable to make it to court.

"Statistically, when people do prevail, that is the most common method," he said.

Speed is major factor in deaths of young drivers in car crashes

By Connie Skipitares

Mercury News

Article Launched: 11/25/2007 01:38:09 AM PST

Vicky Mlyniec's heart broke all over again when she heard the news three weeks ago that two brothers in her Santa Cruz Mountains community had died at the hands of a speeding driver.

The crash forced her to relive the painful night in August when her own son, 18-year-old Nate Mlyniec, who was about to enter the University of California-Davis and dreamed of becoming a chef, died when his speeding car slammed into a tree on his way home.

"It hit us like a ton of bricks," Mlyniec said of the Nov. 3 deaths of the two brothers. "It took us right back to Nate's accident. It's a nightmare that continues for us as I'm sure it does for the other families."

The deaths of brothers Tyler Barclay, 18, and Shane Barclay, 22, only 2 1/2 months after Nate's fatal crash, shook the tightknit mountain community above Los Gatos, where all the young men grew up. Nate and Tyler had attended Los Gatos High School.

Four other South Bay deaths in July caused by a 19-year-old who was speeding on a narrow country road in Almaden Valley also shattered that community of neighbors, friends and school classmates.

None of the three recent crashes involved drinking or drugs.

"The No. 1 reason teenagers die is car crashes," said Gayle Shank, a Los Gatos High School driver's education teacher. "And the major reason is they're going too fast."

Deaths caused by speeding teens happen at a far greater rate than those caused by intoxicated teens. And a

much larger number of speeding drivers are male than female.

In 2005, the latest figures available, 38 percent of 15- to 20-year-old male drivers involved in fatal crashes were speeding, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Twenty-four percent of young male drivers in fatal accidents had been under the influence, with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or higher. The .08 level is the legal limit for adults.

However, there's some encouraging news: Overall, the teenage death rate from car crashes has gone down over the past three decades - 47 percent among males and 19 percent among females, thanks to school and law enforcement programs and restrictions on teen driving in the first year of licensing.

But it doesn't feel that way to an educator like Shank. "When this happens in your community among your students, it feels overwhelming. It feels like it's everywhere," she said.

What is it that fuels an adolescent boy's need for speed?

"They think they're invincible," said Sgt. Les Bishop of the California Highway Patrol. "They think 'nothing's going to happen to me.' It's just how teenagers look at life at their age."

Inexperienced drivers

Lack of driving experience also is a key factor in teen crashes. Teen drivers are involved in more fatal crashes and crashes causing serious injuries in the first year of becoming licensed that any older driving group, Bishop said. The difference between the skills and maturity of a 16-year-old - when full licensing can occur - and a 17-year-old driver is fairly dramatic, he added.

Teen drivers are more likely to underestimate hazardous situations and not be able to recognize them because of their inexperience as drivers, Bishop said.

He also blames our "daredevil" society that feeds on Hollywood action movies with extreme stunts. "It gives kids a sense of adventure that's unreal."

A powerful lesson for many teens is a two-day program sponsored by the CHP called "Every 15 Minutes," he said. Although the program emphasizes the harm of drinking and driving, its lesson is also about any high-risk behavior that results in death, including speeding and reckless driving.

The event involves students staging a fatal collision, mock arrests and a mock funeral of one of their own classmates.

"I'll hear kids say 'I never thought about it that way,' like it really sunk in for them," Bishop said. "And there's always some who say 'that's never going to happen to me.' "

But those pronouncements are often short-lived.

"Some kids may get the message and they can carry it for several months," Shank said. "But some never learn the lesson."

She recalled the 2002 death of 18-year-old Los Gatos High student Eric Quesada, a passenger in a car that crashed that was driven by a 16-year-old friend who had been drinking. Quesada's death shattered the high school community, where he was a popular senior. That crash also occurred on a narrow rural road - Hicks Road in Los Gatos.

"There was such a huge upset here at school," Shank said. "Everybody felt it. A lot of kids said they wouldn't drink at parties anymore.

But a week after Quesada's death, students talked about attending parties where there was drinking, she said.

Teen programs

Short memories about such tragedies may end up being the case with the recent teen deaths. But school officials continue to host programs that target risky teen behavior. Last week, Los Gatos High students participated in such a program, facing a real life example of dangerous behavior with the deaths of Tyler and Shane Barclay.

The 17-year-old driver of the car in which the brothers died was injured in the crash, but is expected to recover. He is the cousin - and best friend - of the two who perished. In the Almaden tragedy in July, 19-year-old Erik Satterstrom and his 18-year-old friend Max Harding died when Satterstrom drove his Nissan 350Z down two-lane Graystone Lane, losing control and slamming into Paul and Uma Batra, a couple on a stroll.

Vicky Mlyniec has a hard time accepting that her son, a responsible teenager, did something so foolhardy. His friends said he was the last person they could see speeding.

According to a CHP report, her son drove down a straight portion of two-lane Summit Road at about 70 miles per hour, well above the 35 mph speed limit. It was 2 a.m. and no one else was on the road near his home, a road he felt comfortable driving.

The teenager apparently hit his brakes for some reason. His car swerved, he lost control and slammed into a tree.

"You look at the road, it's a straight road, and it's hard to just go 35," the mother said. "Even adults will go faster."

Still, she said, Nate's speed "was indefensible. . . . It doesn't matter if you are habitually risky or do this one time, like Nate did. Once is all it takes. There are no second chances. "

Mlyniec and her husband can hardly bear to drive past the site of the crash. They take back roads to avoid passing the tree.

Shank said one way to reduce teen driver fatalities might be delaying licensing until teens turn 17, rather than 16, because of the extra year of maturity.

Bishop said a lot of discussion about risky driving should happen at home between teens and their parents. While that is useful, Bishop asked: "Is that going to change a teenager? Probably not. There's still some who are going to go out and do whatever they're going to do, no matter what the consequences."

As a parent of a teen driver, I find that having the ability to track her has giving us the ability to show her some of the event s that can cause problem. Knowing the exact speed that she is going, helps in reminder her that these types of events can lead to problems; reduce fuel economy is one, risk of speeding tickets, or the higher potential of being involved in an accident. All the statistics show that teen driver are involved in more fatal accidents than any other age group. The ST-300 is an amazing tracking device.


As a parent, we have even gone to the extreme and installed an in vehicle car camera from Safety Track to show just how distracted teen drivers can be while driving. If it isn’t the radio, it could be the phone, or worse yet, texting. You would be surprised just how comfortable these teen drivers get while driving. Being able to ride along with your teen driver can give you a better idea of what is really going in the car. The funny part is that they forget they are being video tape after about 30 minute in the car.

Anyway, as a parent we need to take part in helping our teen drivers see that driving a 4000 lb piece of metal can be dangerous and needs to be taken seriously.

Having a 18 year old daughter is bad enough.  Now let her drive. Remember the freedom of having your own car? Calling your friends and off you go. Except today there are so more problems that face young drivers. Texting, talking on the phone, drinking, distraction of all sorts.  Not being able to track my daughter when she drives would be like not breathing.  She hates it, but that's the price she apys for having a car to drive.  http://www.safetytrack.net/ provided the needed tracking system that allows us to fine her when we need her.  See hoe fast she is driving and if she gets lost, like 18 year olds do, help her fine her way.  Affordable.
