GTX Corp and BrickHouse Security Team To Protect the 2,000 Children Reported Missing Daily With GPS Solutions

New iPhone utility App - Code Mobile - from GTX Corp, together with the BrickHouse Child Locator, use the most advanced GPS PLS proximity alert technology to provide protection for children locally and nationally.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — GTX Corp (OTC Bulletin Board: GTXO), a leader in 2-way GPS Personal Location Services (PLS), has partnered with BrickHouse Security to offer products that can assist in the recovery of the 2,000 children reported missing every day. GTX Corp and BrickHouse will be working together to solve safety problems through product development, co-branding and joint marketing of innovative geo-specific and proximity-alerting solutions.

To help keep these children safe locally in busy malls, parks, and even in their own back yard, GTX Corp, through its Code Amber(R) subsidiary has formed a distribution relationship with BrickHouse Security to market the company’s Child Locator, as well as to jointly develop new safety and protection programs. The Child Locator, recently featured in a global media campaign by Duracell batteries, uses GPS technology to monitor the location of wandering children up to 600 feet away using an onscreen display and alert system.

The Child Locator is now available on the Code Amber web site and promoted on the Code Amber News Ticker that is viewed by millions. GTX Corp has expanded its subscriber base for geo-proximate real time information about reported missing children, through placement of its News Ticker on the BHS website and with a new mobile App; Code Mobile< - now available on iPhone, Blackberry and Android platforms.

The Code Amber (R) News Service and the Child Locator have already aided in the recovery of numerous children. “My favorite story is one in which CANS helped recover a child missing from his Arizona home who was later located in a car in a California parking lot of Walgreen’s, a long-standing partner who posted the alert at their stores. Thanks to the cross-state notification, the child was safely returned to his family,” said Bryant Harper, president of Code Amber.

Todd Morris, BrickHouse Security founder and CEO, adds his own story of a happy recovery: Said Mr. Morris, “I recently received a call from a relieved father who brought his child to a major theme park. His child had climbed a structure and moved out of sight and range of his calls. Using the Child Locator he was able to quickly find his child to the relief of the family.” He adds, “Now that we’re working with GTX Corp I’m comforted to know that we can reach further to recover children when they’re separated over longer distances, and I’m sure that many parents will be, too.”

Mr. Bertagna offered, “We are excited about the relationship, since Todd and I met close to a year ago we have been exploring the different opportunities for us to work together. Identifying a company with complementary products and a parallel mission marks the beginning of a profitable and purposeful relationship. I know that together we can help change the headlines from - child found missing, to - missing child found.”

Maker of the BrickHouse Child Locator strengthens its child safety product offerings with the addition of the Amber Alert GPS, a small but powerful personal GPS tracker

New York, NY (Vocus/PRWEB ) October 13, 2009 — BrickHouse Security, a leading provider of safety and security products to major law enforcement agencies including the NYPD, FBI, and the LA County Sheriffs, is expanding its consumer product line with the addition of the Amber Alert GPS (AAGPS).

Amber Alert GPS has a small form factor

We’ve managed to become one of the nation’s top sellers of GPS tracking products

The Amber Alert GPS helps us give families a new and easy way to ensure their children are safe and accounted for when they’re away from home

We hear stories every day of parents being separated from their children, whether intentionally or accidentally. Said Mr. Morris,

“We’ve managed to become one of the nation’s top sellers of GPS tracking products,” said Todd Morris, BrickHouse CEO, “but until today we haven’t offered such an easy-to-use yet powerful product to parents.” While the company has sold thousands of GPS tracking devices to more than 500 federal agencies and Fortune 500 clients, its consumer-focused GPS product line has been limited. “The Amber Alert GPS helps us give families a new and easy way to ensure their children are safe and accounted for when they’re away from home,” added Mr. Morris.

The AAGPS complements the company’s BrickHouse Child Locator product that was recently featured in Duracell ads. In contrast to the Locator, which uses GPS technology to alert parents when their child wanders beyond a set distance of up to 600 feet, the AAGPS device enables parents to remotely locate their children when they are away. To use it, parents simply place the device into their child’s personal items such as pockets and backpacks, or they can attach it to a wrist, ankle, or belt. To then locate their child they call or text the AAGPS device, and within seconds receive in return a detailed map and address of the child’s exact location via any text- or web-enabled phone. Alternatively, they can view location updates on their computer.

With more than 2,000 children reported missing on average every day, the Amber Alert GPS is not dependent upon the parent to keep a child safe. Measuring just over an inch across, the stylish device is intentionally designed to not look like a tracking tool should an abductor see it; more important, the AAGPS features an alert “SOS” button that the child can activate to send an emergency signal to his or her parent. For further protection the GPS device can send speed alerts when the child or teen’s vehicle exceeds a preset level, as well as breadcrumbing to leave a retrievable trail of the child’s travels.

The device was developed by Russell Thornton, who experienced the terror of losing a child in an amusement park. Fortunately, he found his child after an extended search–and the determination to help other parents and children. He chose the name “Amber Alert” in reference to Amber Hagerman, a nine-year-old Texas girl who was abducted and murdered. The search for Amber led to the eventual establishment of a notification service for missing children. The AAGPS is not part of the system, but is instead intended to safeguard against situations reaching an alert stage while providing parents with peace of mind in knowing where to find their children.

“We hear stories every day of parents being separated from their children, whether intentionally or accidentally. Said Mr. Morris, “BrickHouse Security is thrilled to be able to offer introduce this new and effective way of preventing abductions and protecting their children.”

The Amber Alert GPS retails for $379 and requires a monthly subscription plan. For the next 30 days BrickHouse Security will be offering Amber Alert GPS for a special introductory price of $279.95.

Security and surveillance leader announces the launch at ASIS of Global Watchman, with all new features: all-weather, invisible infrared, motion-activated monitoring product that automatically transmits images to computers and phones worldwide.

Anaheim, Calif. (Vocus/PRWEB ) September 21, 2009 — BrickHouse Security, a leading provider of security and surveillance products to more than 500 local and national law enforcement agencies and the majority of Fortune 500 companies, today announced its new Global Watchman monitoring device at the ASIS conference for security professionals. In the past, image-capture monitoring products have been constrained by battery strength, severely limiting the distance over which they could transmit images and shortening their battery life. To overcome this limitation the Global Watchman employs cellular networks to transmit images from its motion-activated camera to a user’s computer or cell phone the moment the image is captured.

“The ability to monitor remote locations from virtually anywhere on the globe turns the surveillance industry on its head,” said Todd Morris, BrickHouse CEO. “This new combination of cellular transmission, extended battery life, invisible infrared illuminators for nightvision capabilities, and all-weather protection provides professionals with capabilities they’ve never before had at their disposal. These capabilities can rewrite current approaches to patrolling remote locations, monitoring warehouses, and keeping an eye on places they wouldn’t otherwise visit for months on end.”

The company chose ASIS 2009 as a venue for launching this important product given its role as the most influential industry event for the 22,000 security professionals expected to attend. Said Mr. Morris, “We’re excited to be exhibiting at ASIS and are certain that the Global Watchman will create quite the buzz here.”

BrickHouse Security is launching the Global Watchman at a discounted price of $599, a price it expects will attract customers beyond government agencies and surveillance professionals. With its ease of use and one-of-a-kind features, businesses and consumers can use it to actively watch their properties for trespassers or thieves, protecting not only their possessions but also their families or employees. Adds Mr. Morris, “I’m sure there are plenty of uses we haven’t even thought of yet.” Groundbreaking product features
