Rolling Meadows, Illinois – JTrek.com has released its much-anticipated personal security Smartphone application.

This innovative technology has opened a new world of mobile security for the millions of Smartphone users. According to Nielsen Mobile research, there are more than 200 million mobile users in the US. More than 100 million of these subscribers use GPS and video-capable Smartphones. The JTrek application leverages the video, audio, location and camera features to record and distribute life-saving information in the case of an emergency.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 2,000 child abductions happen each day. Although many are family related abductions, when they are unlawful they should be stopped. Every hour, 16 women confront a rapist, and one of these women is raped every six minutes, many on college campuses.

“The time is long overdue for the cell phone users to carry with them real, tangible evidence gathering technology,” states James D. Richie, CEO of JTrek.com. “The global wireless market has experienced an explosion of technological advances and Smartphones finally have allowed personal security to catch up. Mobile users will never view their phone the same again.”

When activated, the JTrek user is able to send real-time streaming video, audio, and location data to a pre-configured online user account. This information can be sent real-time to a list of emergency contacts including family, friends, neighbors and law enforcement. In the case of an emergency, the user is immediately connected to his or her world of relationships, bringing help near, and possibly saving precious law enforcement reaction time.

Launched in January, JTrek.com is already experiencing the buzz that a great Smartphone application garners.

“Ironically, our biggest impact may be on the criminals,” Richie said. “Soon they will learn every cell phone user may no longer be a victim, because they may be a JTrek user.”

Rolling Meadows, Ill.-based company JTrek developed this personal security and safety software for Smartphones. It is the world’s first fully functional wireless video security system built into cell phones, using video, photo and audio and GPS monitoring capabilities.

For a nominal monthly fee, JTrek users literally have a full-time personal surveillance protection device. All that is required is a Smartphone, Internet service and a small network of emergency contacts.

If the user is in danger, he or she simply sends a panic alert. This notifies emergency contacts and law enforcement. The automated web-based monitoring center receives the notification, determines where the problem is, and immediately sends alerts to the user’s emergency contacts so that help may be dispatched.

The technology is perfect for Smartphone-savvy college students.

“Every parent or university should consider it as a way to protect their children and students,” said James D. Richie, chief executive officer of JTrek LLC.

With this cutting-edge technology, text messaging notifications and video/photo imagery is recorded and transmitted by the Smartphone to the JTrek web servers. Even if the phone is taken by an attacker, the images remain stored on JTrek’s servers and emergency alerts are sent automatically.

JTrek’s mobile application is currently available for Windows Mobile, Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia and Symbian OS devices. Many more phones will be supported in the coming months. JTrek works on all major cellular wireless networks.
