Sammy Screamer who arrived in a square flat box arrived at the editorial department.


Open the box from the front lid.


In the box, the body of Sammy Screamer was contained along with a greeting written as "Hi, I'm Sammy Screamer."


When I put the Sammy Screamer in my hand, it looks like this, it fits snugly into my palm. The rounded shape is designed to make it difficult for injured children to touch.


Sammy Screamer of three colors arrived this time is like this. There are three colors in a pop hue, in the center there is a speaker that looks like a mouth, a design featuring round eyes at the top has been given, with a slightly blurred expression on the surface.


On the back, there are a strap hole, a battery pig containing the manufacturer's "bleepbleeps" logo, a note mark of BleepBleeps, a reset button to pierce a thin needle and the like.


Before you start using Sammy Screamer, remove the insulation sheet and prepare.


To operate Sammy Screamer, use the special application provided for iOS and Android.

BleepBleeps on the App Store on iTunes

BleepBleeps - Android application on Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bleepbleeps.android

This time I will use the iPhone 5s to operate Sammy Screamer. Search for "bleepbleeps" on the App Store and install the application.


After installation, turn on the Bluetooth function of the terminal, tap the icon to launch the application.


The initial screen of the application looks like this and colorful Sammy Screamer and others welcome us. Tap "GET STARTED".


"It is up to the user whether or not to display the notification of the application on the terminal, but it is necessary to turn on the notification in order to know that Sammy Screamer worked." Since it is a device for protecting the safety of children, tap "I UNDERSTAND" and set to notify you.


Tap "OK".


Tap the middle button to add Sammy Screamer to the application.


For the first time, you will be asked if you agree with the terms of service. Tap "Agree".


Then, the search of Sammy Screamer near the terminal automatically starts ... ...


When Sammy Screamer is found, "Found Sammy" is displayed on the screen. Tap "CONNECT ME" to connect the terminal and Sammy Screamer.


Wait a few seconds for the connection to complete.


Tap "pairing" as Bluetooth pairing is required.


When the connection is completed successfully, the tutorial begins, so swipe the screen to the left for reading. Because "Give me a shake ... (Please hold me a little and shake it)" so ......


When I shake the Sammy Screamer lightly, I heard an alarm sound "Pyrolyn Pyrolyn!" And confirmed that it is working properly. As the name of "Screamer", a high-pitched alarm sounds like a sharp scream.


I will go back to the application and proceed with the tutorial. Choose whether or not to sound when you move Sammy Screamer. Tap the icon of the person who sounds this time this time.


Choose from three of "EASY GOING (low sensitivity)" "BALANCED (normal)" "HIGHLY STRUNG (high sensitivity)" to what extent the alarm is issued when moving Sammy Screamer. This time I chose the middle "BALANCED (normal)".


Sammy Screamer and the terminal are connected by Bluetooth, and it is possible to communicate even if it is separated by about 30 m.


When a yellow radio wave mark is displayed on the application, it means that the connection between the terminal and Sammy Screamer is broken. When the distance between the terminal and Sammy Screamer approaches, it seems to automatically reconnect.


On the application it is possible to give a name to distinguish one Sammy Screamer. By default, it is the color of the terminal ("Red" here).


This time, I tried to attach Sammy Screamer to a can of a popcorn, and made the name "popcorn".


This completes the tutorial. When using Sammy Screamer as it is, tap "WAKE".


The application's home screen looks something like this. Icons and wallpapers matching the body color of Sammy Screamer are displayed, and below the icon there is the name "popcorn" of the name Sammy Screamer named earlier and the state of the terminal (SLEEP: still).


When setting is completed, I will try using Sammy Screamer at once. Sammy Screamer has a built-in magnet, so it can be attached to the back of cookie cans and so on. This time I tried to paste it on the back of the lid of a popcorn can, assuming to prevent eating too much of a child's sweets.


When you attach the Sammy Screamer to the lid of the can and open the lid, the appearance of a sharp alarm sounds and the notification comes to the application can be seen from the following movie.

Even when the application is opened, it is possible to receive notification when Sammy Screamer detects movement. For products aimed at watching children, you will receive a notification saying "Help! I'm moving!" (Help me !, I'm moving!).


To change the setting of Sammy Screamer, tap the setting icon at the bottom of the home screen.


Sleep / start switch, sensitivity, notification sound on / off etc can be changed.


Sliding the sleep / start switch to the sleep side makes it possible to prevent the sound from being played even if you move the Sammy Screamer. When set to sleep, the screen of the application becomes dark, so that you can see at a glance that it is in the sleep state.


By scrolling down the setting screen, you can also see the remaining battery level of Sammy Screamer, connection status, start time, number of times of sensing operation.


Tap the three line icon at the top of the home screen ......


Sammy Screamer 's working time and so on were able to be confirmed.


Return to the home screen and tap the note icon at the top left.


From here you can add more Sammy Screamer to work with the application, contact the developer BleepBleeps, or purchase additional Sammy Screamer.


When I add 2 Sammy Screamer, 3 Sammy Screamer are displayed side by side on the home screen.


Assuming a watch over the children in and out of the room, I attached the blue Sammy Screamer to the door knob and installed so that the alarm sounds when opening the door.


You can see how the Sammy Screamer attached to the door knob operates when opening and closing the door from the following movie. When the Sammy Screamer operates, even a huge sound reverberates to the corridor, even if the child has gone away from the room in which the child took his eyes off, it is getting to know in a moment.

Sammy Screamer can be attached to things that children should not touch and can be managed with smartphones, and if you put it on the door, it will be easy for smartphones to check in and out of children's room and going home, etc. . If you give it to a child's backpack when going out, it seems to be usable also for prevention of lost child.
