Our Story
TripSafe was inspired from a hotel experience of Derek’s two years ago. He was so concerned with his surroundings that he wanted his family to know where he was – in case they didn’t hear from him the next day. This experience was the inspiration for a travel security system that could protect anyone – wherever they go.
TripSafe’s team consists of all former U.S. Military Veterans with over 13 combined deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas around the world. Our team knows what it is like to feel unsafe, and believes that no one should ever have to feel that way.
Shipping fees are $12 for US shipping and $30 for international shipping for one device. For international shipping, please note that you may be responsible for duties, fees and taxes applicable to your region.
TripSafe looks great for travelers but can I use it at home?
Absolutely! TripSafe will work wherever you are. If you plan to use it at home, we recommend getting two so one can stay at home while you bring the other on your trip.
Can I use it to look after my child, elderly parent or even dog?
Definitely. You can set the app so rather than alerting when motion is detected, you can monitor what’s going on in the room. Also, the door stop sensors are great for alerting parents when toddlers are trying to open the front door!
Do I have to use the door stop sensors?
No. TripSafe will still have motion and audio detection if you don’t want to use the door stop motion sensors.
Can I use multiple phones with my TripSafe?
Yes. You can pair any phone to the device and also select the people that will be notified if the TripSafe alarm is activated.
How is TripSafe powered?
TripSafe has an internal battery in the base station so that it doesn’t have to be plugged in when you need it to work. The battery is large enough to charge your cell phone up to six times. Each door stop sensor has a long life battery that can be easily replaced.
Will TripSafe work in foreign countries?
Yes, the base station can work with only a wifi signal. Additionally if your accommodations don’t have wifi, you’ll be able to insert a SIM card for the country you’re in.
Do I have to pay for the operational call center subscription?
No. TripSafe will still alert you and anyone you designate in the app if you don’t subscribe. By not subscribing, the only thing you won’t have is one of our experienced call center operators to help you through your challenge.
Does TripSafe come with foreign outlet adapters?
No. You’ll have to get the appropriate adapter in the country you are visiting.
Does TripSafe have to be plugged in all the time?
No. The base station has an internal battery. Once you fully charge it, you can operate it unplugged for two days. You can also use this battery to charge your cell phone up to 6 times.
Can I record the video TripSafe streams to me through my app?
Yes, if you subscribe to the recording service.

Risks & Challenges
Our focus for the next 6-12 months is getting our first product to you as soon as possible. Our team is diligently working to create a meaningful product that produces meaningful impact in the lives of our users.
A challenge we are facing is maintaining a short lead-time on production in order to deliver on our shipping deadline. Due to high demand in our concept and technology, we are anticipating keeping up with demand by forecasting our units sales based on our Indiegogo and providing our team ample time to deliver. In addition, we have been working with our manufacturer for over a year to scale with our growth as needed. We have 3 plans of action ready for manufacturing, fulfillment and distribution in case of a delay, to ensure we deliver TripSafe on time.
We will be sending frequent updates to all of our backers to keep you informed of developments and progress. Setbacks are almost inevitable, however, we are committed to getting TripSafe into your hands in a timely matter. We are so excited for what the future holds!
