About this app
Home alert with location information
This ginstr app allows sending an alert by simply scanning an NFC tag with any NFC capable smartphone. The alert can be distributed to an unlimited number of SMS and e-mail recipients.
The NFC tag is fix mounted to a wall, or any other fixed area. When the NFC tag is scanned the location of its position is transmitted as part of the alert details information you will see in the ginstr platform. This app does not require GPS to be switched on;therefore it is very useful because the smartphone battery will not be drained by GPS.
If the NFC tag is carried around by the resident (e.g. with an NFC wristband, NFC ring, NFC necklace etc.) when creating an alert the GPS position of the resident will be sent to the security centre along with other detailed alert information.
The alert SMS (text messages) and alert e-mails include relevant and important alert information including a link to a map that pinpoints the location where the alert was generated. This allows the rescue team to immediately see where the alert came from so they don´t lose any time in finding the person.
Each alert is transmitted into the secure ginstr cloud for documentation. The alert handling is processed and managed by the ginstr backend.
This app continuously replicates all user data with ginstr cloud.
The data can then be analysed, processed, sorted, filtered, exported and shared with other departments, such as accounting or dispatching, in ginstr web - the web based platform for use with all ginstr apps.
