Vismo continues to develop its tracking website, as well as the iPhone and BlackBerry apps.

  • Version 1.8 introduces a stand-alone panic button in the iPhone app, thereby reducing the time needed to activate a panic alert. After pressing the alert icon, a single touch-and-hold is all it takes to raise the alert:
  • The user-setup process has also been streamlined and now includes a feature which involves “inviting” users to enrol their handsets with Vismo and eliminates the need for time-consuming gathering of device serial numbers
  • The website’s powerful “Person Search” feature allows users to be filtered by geo-fence, country, location & search-radius, alert state, battery level and last fix time.

The product-specific features and upgrades are as follows:

Vismo for iPhone:

  • Reliable periodic background locating and robust wake-up after device is switched off, recovers from battery drain or is brought out of “Airplane mode”
  • Robust HTTP-based communication protocol, allowing seamless and reliable data transmission, even over secure corporate Wi-Fi access points
  • Stand-alone Vismo Alert app, allowing a red alert to be raised without starting the core Vismo app
  • Audio capture when an alert is activated

Vismo for BlackBerry (OS 7.1 and earlier):

  • Enhanced location accuracy, leveraging the latest location-service upgrades in the BlackBerry OS
  • Robust HTTP-based communication protocol, allowing seamless and reliable data transmission, even over secure corporate Wi-Fi access points

Vismo Website:

Streamlined user-setup process, which involves “inviting” users to enrol their handsets with Vismo, eliminating the need for time-consuming gathering of device serial numbers.

  • When in Red Alert state, multiple audio clips can now be stored, one clip each time the panic is invoked
  • A powerful “Person Search” feature has been added, allowing tracked users to be searched/filtered by geo-fence, country, location & search-radius, alert state, battery level and last fix time
  • Upgraded Google map service, guaranteeing a responsive and reliable mapping experience
