GPS Monitoring / Email Notifications
WatchAcross Email
WatchAcross Email is a monitoring support app that detects whether the device is outside or inside registered areas and sends email notifications to preset addresses.
Because notifications are sent by email, they can be checked not only on smartphones but also on PCs. This makes it easier for multiple family members to share monitoring information.
The Auto-start Timer can begin monitoring at a specified time each day, while datasets let you save and switch area information and monitoring settings for different purposes.
Practical Use Cases
Explore typical situations where WatchAcross Email can support family monitoring.

New Convenience Features in Version 2
Version 2 makes remote family monitoring and purpose-specific setup easier to continue every day.
Auto-start Timer
Monitoring can start automatically at a specified time each day. The monitored person does not need to tap Start every time, making the feature useful for family members who live apart.
* Auto-start may not work if the app is force-quit.
Purpose-Specific Datasets
Each dataset can store both location-area information and monitoring settings. Quickly switch between optimized setups for home, school, work, hospitals or care facilities, travel, and other purposes.
Use Cases
WatchAcross Email is not designed for continuously viewing someone's location. It is designed to detect the relationship between the current GPS location and registered areas, then send email notifications when needed.
Monitoring Elderly Family Members
Receive an email when the device moves outside a registered area or returns to it. This can help families check outings from a distance.
Checking a Child's Return Home
Register areas such as home or school and receive notifications when the device enters or leaves those areas.
Sharing Information with Family
Email notifications make it easy for multiple family members to check the same notification on smartphones or PCs.
Family Members Who Live Apart
The Auto-start Timer can begin monitoring at a scheduled time without requiring the monitored person to start it manually every day.
Main Functions
Outside-Area Detection
