How does Geo-fencing work and how is it programmed?
Geo-fencing is programmed by the customer by utilizing the website. Each vehicle can be programmed to support different geo-fences or the same one depending on the customers needs. An example being that you would like your vehicles to report when they have left a certain area (the perimeter can be set at any distance). You would set a map with the perimeters marked out, and the device and server would monitor when a vehicle entered or exited. When that unit leaves the set area an alert will be sent to the history page of that unit to view by you. It can also send a text message and/or email notifying you of the violation. The highlight of this function is that you can turn this function on and off from your inventory at any given time. For example if a vehicle with a programmed unit installed should need to leave the set perimeter you can go to the unit in your inventory and turn the function off or change the geo fence area.
