A geofence is a virtual perimeter that defines a specific geographic location on the map. Geofences can be used to label locations, create no-go zones, and/or to create keep-in zones.
When Assets enter or exit Zones, Events are created that can be used to trigger Alerts. A zone can also have set speed limits and proximity warnings, which is a circular area around the zone. Events are also created for an Asset entering and exiting the proximity of a zone, which can also be used to create Alerts.
Track View platforms combined with SureCam's GPS equipped hardware grants you access to geofencing. The steps below will walk you through setting up a geofence on Track View and View Pro.
