An application that tracks someone and alerts a guardian if the individual has stepped outside a fixed geofence.

> Motivation

In many cases, a lot of senior citizens and children want to step outside the house but are often not permitted due to their lack in ability to navigate and taking care of themselves. We have fixed the former part by allowing an SMS based alert system that will let a guardian know if the individual has lost his/her way.

> Technologies Used

• ReactJS
• Redux
• Twilio (for SMS)
• NodeJS with Express
• MongoDB

> How To Install & Run

Open the cloned directory and run npm install in root directory and also in the client directory.

npm install && cd client && npm install

You will need :

• A mongoDB set up locally or on Atlas and substitue the URI of it in server.js file instead of the local link in the code.
• A Firebase account with the mobile auth feature enabled to use it for OTP service. Substitute your firebase details in the client/src/firebase.js file.
• A Google Maps API key for the map functionality to work.
• A Twilio account setup to send SMSes.
