Example

If an area is added as a geofence and an object exits that area, the Out of Geofence alert is triggered. A buzzer rings (if a sensor is attached) to notify the personnel that the vehicle has moved out of the permitted zone. The object can be immobilized to prevent unauthorized movement outside the geofence, and a command can be configured for the GPS device to take specific actions (for example, reduce speed or lock certain systems), depending on the device’s pre-configured commands. Additionally, alerts can be received via SMS, Email, or In-app notification.
