On our cloud server, we use industry best practices for security. We also use an internal API that requires SSL, so every time a...

Outdoor applications include pet,child,elderly and vehicle tracking while indoor applications include home security sensors, mailbox sensors and much more. Crowd-sourcing the network has many advantages over traditional cellular models. The main advantages are no monthly services...
