Proximity Violation Alert

The Proximity Violation alert is used to notify users when a vehicle/object enters a defined proximity area or comes within a specified distance of a configured Beacon. This alert helps organizations monitor vehicle proximity events, identify unauthorized or unexpected presence near designated locations, and take timely action when a proximity condition is detected.

Example

A beacon is installed at a restricted area, and a vehicle is configured for Proximity Violation monitoring. The alert is set to Less Than 50 meters with a duration of 10 seconds.

Depending on the configuration, an additional action such as Send Command or Immobilize can also be performed.
