App-Enabled Proximity Monitoring System Lets You Know Where Valuables Are At All Times-You Will Never Lose Them Again
Aylesbury, Bucks. - February 6, 2013 - Kensington, a worldwide leader in delivering smart. safe. simple.TM mobile device accessories, today introduced Proximo, an App-enabled proximity monitoring system that empowers iPhone 5/4S owners to know where their smartphone, keys and valuables are at all times. Proximo delivers a unique way to track multiple valuables with a last-seen map pin-drop feature, an active proximity dashboard and extended battery life on both its fob and tag. The new Proximo Starter Kit includes the Proximo App to track your iPhone and valuables, a fob to attach to your keys, and one tag to always find a valuable item of your choice. For those who want to track additional items they simply don't want to lose - like a briefcase, a handbag, or a car - Kensington offers a separate, single Proximo tag you can add to your kit.
Proximo works by setting up a wireless connection between the iPhone and key fob or tag using Bluetooth® Smart Technology. Compatible with iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S, Proximo's app dashboard is "always on" and can track up to five items concurrently. The proximity distance (sensitivity) of each key fob and tag can be personalised. Proximo's app dashboard shows the proximity of each fob and tag. Pushing a button on the fob or tapping "Find Fob" icon from the Proximo app dashboard triggers an alarm that helps the user locate their phone, keys or other valuable items.
Every 3.5 seconds, a mobile phone is lost or stolen. For today's always connected mobile users, a smartphone is more than just expensive to replace-it is often the "keeper" of a tremendous amount of personal, confidential and work related information too. According to 02, more than 700,000 mobile phones are lost or stolen in the UK every year. Never worry again about leaving anything important behind with Proximo. It's designed to help you keep, track and get back what is most essential to you:
Keep - Keep your iPhone in close range with the handy Bluetooth 4.0 fob. It alerts you with a customisable proximity alarm the minute you move a set distance away from your phone, so you never leave it behind again.
Track - The Proximo app dashboard keeps track of up to five items, including a customisable active proximity meter, so you always know how far away you are from them. If you get out of range, a GPS function allows you to track to the last in-range location of your items on a map.
Get Back - Working hand-in-hand with the Proximo app, Bluetooth 4.0 tags help you locate your most important things at any given time. Tag up to five items, attach the fob to your keys and tag your bag, purse, camera and car to gain instant peace of mind.
"Proximo eliminates the everyday anxiety that so many consumers experience when worrying about losing, or having to search for, their most valuable possessions," said Stephen Hoare, European Marketing Director at Kensington. "We know mobile phones in particular are an essential part of life to our customers. When you consider the threat to your sensitive data, your downtime and the cost of recovering your lost phone, you can understand why we developed Proximo."
