6. Geofence
Goefence is a virtual circular boundary of which the radius can be set by SMS
command. This feature allows the user to observe if the Tracker will remain within a set
boundary (area) or if it will leave this area. This can be important for asset or vehicle
monitoring with limited allowed access within a specified region. Also useful, for
example, for the elderly with dementia problems when living in an elderly home.
When the Geofence is switched ON it will take the tracker’s position at that moment to
draw a virtual circle with a specified radius. In default this radius is 100 meter.
The command to switch the Geofence On is:
Password-GEO-ON
example: 1234-GEO-ON
or
Password-GEO-OFF
example: 1234-GEO-OFF
to switch the geofence off.
To set a different boundary for example with radius of 400 m:
Password-I-GEO04
DEFAULT SETTING:
When no Geofence range is set the tracker will use the default setting of 100 meter.
Any other range can be set via the following command:
[security code]-[I]-[GEOXX]
example
1234-I-GEO07
Where
XX
is a 2-digit figure and represents the radius of the circle in multiples of 100
meter. Example GEO07 = 700 meters, or Geo10 = 1000 meters.
STOPPING GEOFENCE:
To turn off the Geofence mode, the following command (SMS message) has to be sent
to the Tracker:
[security code]-[GEO]-[off]
example
1234-GEO-off
To check the Geofence setting, a
SMS message has to be sent to the
tracker as follows
:
Password-R-GEO
The tracker will send SMS with the
requested information.
Example:
“GEOFENCE is set to 400m”
