Q5id Guardian is an Android application that helps find lost people. You can join the network of volunteers to send and receive alerts if someone is missing in your area.
Registration
In order to use the app, it is necessary to enroll. The process consists of several steps. You will have to provide your face and palms biometrics. The first one is needed as a reference and the latter is used in authentication.
Then, you need to scan your ID or passport. There is an optical character recognition technology that can easily detect fake documents. The last step is to record a brief video and voice sample. In some cases a quick call with a live agent is required instead.
Network
The application offers a network of volunteers to help find missing people. You can join and receive geo-located alerts if someone is lost in your area. Notifications are only sent to those within a close radius, ensuring that the actual assistance will be provided.
If you have people who you want to protect, you can subscribe to be a Guardian+ member. It allows you to create detailed profiles as well as issue alerts, which are automatically tied to your phone’s location. However, it is possible to spread them in a different area. In case your pet is missing, try downloading PetPins.
