Quick Answer
The Spy Labs Spy Location Tracker uses silent ultrasonic sound waves to hide and find objects, making it a fun detective toy for kids.
How It Works: Ultrasonic vs. GPS
Unlike a GPS tracker for kids that relies on satellite signals, the Spy Location Tracker uses a transmitter that emits ultrasonic sound waves—inaudible to human ears. The handheld detector picks up these waves and guides you closer to the hidden transmitter. This means it works indoors and outdoors, but the range is limited to about 15–20 feet in open space. Walls and furniture can reduce the effective range, so plan your hiding spots accordingly.
What You Can Track
This spy gadget is designed for tracking objects, not people or pets. You can hide the transmitter with a valuable object, a secret document, or a clue for a scavenger hunt. The detector beeps faster as you get closer, helping you zero in on the target. It's a great tool for creating mystery games or practicing detective skills.
How to Use the Spy Location Tracker
- 1. Prepare the Transmitter: Insert fresh batteries into the transmitter. Turn it on using the switch. The transmitter will start emitting ultrasonic waves. A common mistake is using weak batteries—check them before hiding.
- 2. Hide the Transmitter: Place the transmitter with the object you want to track. Choose a hiding spot within about 15–20 feet of where the search will start. Avoid metal containers or thick walls that can block the signal. Test the range in your space before the actual game.
- 3. Use the Detector to Search: Turn on the handheld detector and slowly sweep it around the room. The detector beeps faster and the indicator light gets brighter as you get closer to the transmitter. Move in the direction of the strongest signal. If the signal is weak, the transmitter may be too far or behind an obstacle.
- 4. Find the Target: Follow the increasing beeps until you locate the hidden transmitter. Once found, turn off both devices to save battery. For a scavenger hunt, hide clues along the way to make it more challenging. Store the transmitter and detector in a dry place after use.
