You may not have heard of this novelty item but you should prepare yourself or your loved ones. Today the team at Splitsecnd have been given the green light to take orders for their brainchild, a plug in crash detection device that helps in all emergencies, simply called Splitsecnd. It takes just that much time to install in your vehicle and that fast to notify emergency responders after an accident or emergency while in your vehicle.
The splitsecnd device is pocketable and unobtrusive
The device is a self contained device that simply plugs in to your cigarette lighter. Within the device there is:
-Speaker -Microphone -Emergency call button (the only physical button) -USB port (to allow charging capabilities to other devices while the unit is in use.)
The device allows for family tracking as well as emergency detection. The Family Finder capability allows you to locate family, as long as the device is active in the vehicle. After speaking with the founders, Chris Thompson and Will Green, I found out that the device has been very well tested. It has been put through strenuous crash tests with very well thought out scenarios. It has been thought of with drivers and concerned family members mind. This device may be very important to all but if you care and are concerned for your family members it will make a great gift.
Think of it as a device that gives any vehicle OnStar abilities
The CEO Chris Thompson and CMO Will Green, friends and graduates of Vanderbilt University, have been working on splitsecnd for over 3 years. They told me initially it was thought of as an app for smartphones and mobile devices but decided on an actual device that will not be reliant on a software update or needing your mobile device to be powered on. With splitsecnd you plug it into your functioning cigarette lighter and forget about. It will work in most 12 volt ports, even the ports in the rear of family vehicles, but recommended for the port closest to the driver. Apps to assist with the device are also available on iOS and Android and coming to Windows phone soon.
As previously stated the purchase is more of a gift to someone to help save them, but can very well be a self purchase. A life saved is always a great gift. Even in a slight fender bender, you can just the emergency button to contact Splitsecnd’s team to contact emergency responders. The Splitsecnd device offers one-hour of talk time after your vehicle loses power in an accident. It also utilizes the RACO wireless network, which covers about 96% of the US.
The initial cost of SplitSecnd is $199.99 for one unit and a monthly service of $14.99, a small cost for a loved one. The service is month to month and there is no contract. The purchaser sets up monthly cost right at the initial purchase online. Activation is done at purchase so there is minimal barrier for the user. Think of your spouse, parents, grandparents, children, aunts and uncles. There is nothing complicated standing in their way from using it. There is only one step, plug and go all done in a split second. The user only needs an active functional cigarette lighter, it works in just about any vehicle.
