Keep Trick-or-Treaters Safe with Location Tracking
How do you keep your kids safe during halloween? With location tracking apps, it’s easier than ever.
AlfredCircle is a free family locator app that allows families to stay connected via GPS in just a few easy steps. Here’s how:
- Download AlfredCircle for free to compatible Android and iOS devices.
- Sign up and create a Circle.
- Invite other family members to join your Circle so you can view their location on a private live map.
- Add Places to your private map, so you get notified when someone enters or leaves a location.
- Acquire copious amounts of candy!
Do not allow younger kids go trick or treating without adult supervision. To keep older kids safe during Halloween, make sure they are:
- In a large group
- Added to your location tracking app so you know their location at all times
- Have a personal alarm on them
- Not too far from home
Put Safety First this Spooky Season!
Halloween isn’t just for the kids, you know! If you’re out partying for Halloween 2023, AlfredCircle makes it easier to keep tabs on everyone’s location no matter where the night takes you in.
Simply create a Circle for you and your friends for the night, and you’ll see real-time locations (especially useful if anyone gets separated). Try adding the station, club or house you’re heading to as a Place, and you’ll get notified as soon as someone turns up or leaves it.
That way, getting home safely at the end of the night is also much less anxiety inducing.

Protect Your House During Halloween
While personal safety issues may be more pressing during Halloween, your house is also exposed to increased risks.
Tricks, Not Treats
Houses are regularly egged or TP’d during Halloween, which, if you’ve ever experienced it, is extremely annoying.
Having a security camera on show with warning signs may help reduce the likelihood of being targeted because of its ability to deter.
AlfredCam Plus is an affordable outdoor security solution that can be mounted outside the property alongside the included warning sticker to deter trick-or-treaters from targeting your home.
Halloween Hosting
If you’re hosting a big party, you might want to consider setting up an AlfredCamera device indoors, at least where valuables are or at the entrance way.
Since AlfredCamera can transform phones and tablets into security cameras for free, it’s a solid temporary solution for a party. Just make sure to inform all your guests as they arrive.

Halloween 2023 is shaping up to be another fun celebration of ghouls and ghosts and generally grim things. Or maybe it’s just an excuse to have a party.
