3.4.1 Geo-Fencing
The Geo-Fencing feature allows a company using the AutoMonitor to restrict the vehicle to be
within a defined perimeter or zone. If the vehicle is driven outside its designated zone, AutoMonitor
will automatically raise notification alarms to notify the owner or vehicle management via email
and/or SMS. When SMS/Email message for geo-fence exceedance is sent, the current GPS
location coordinate is also sent with the message. If the geo-fencing notification is disabled,
AutoMonitor will not send email or SMS messages.
The geographic fence can be defined using the AutoMonitor Tracker application. To define the
zone, the user should first select the centre coordinates of the zone using the mapping interface
and then select an appropriate radius of the zone circle. The following screenshot displays the
geo-fence as a large circle in red colour.
