Setting up a local geofence
A local geofence is a function for alarming a vehicle.
In this case a geofence is defined as follows:
- the centre of the geofence is the current position of the vehicle.
- the radius of the geofence is set, by default, to 500 metres.
A vehicle can be "locked" in two ways:
1) Right click on a vehicle in the list and from the context menu select
Send unit settings.
This will bring up the
VTU settings
dialog.
From the
General
tab check the
Local geofence
section.
