Tracking Settings

Tracking

  • Repeat Count - The number of times to repeat the tracking request. The values allowed depend upon the tracker type - See your tracker documentation. Note: setting a large number or Endless will cause the Device to continue to send SMS messages until you tell it to stop and may incur substantial carrier charges.

  • Movement Limit - Minimum distance the Device must move before the next tracking message will be sent.  This helps to reduce the number of SMS messages sent if the device has only moved a short distance.  A green circle round the latest device position will be drawn on the map to show the extent of this limit. Note: This setting is only applicable when Tracking is active.  Not all Devices support this function and some have a preset value that cannot be changed.

  • Time Interval - The interval between tracking requests. The values allowed depend upon the tracker type - See your tracker documentation.

Movement Alarms

Note:- Enabling any movement alarm may increase the battery usage of the Device even if the alarm is never triggered. In some cases this can reduce the battery life to less than 24 hours.

  • Move Alarm - Switches on the movement alarm - the Device will send an alert if it is moved more than a certain distance from its current position.  This distance is Device dependent and may not be configurable in the Device.  A yellow circle round the device position when the alarm was set will be drawn on the map to show the extent of this limit. You may configure the extent of this circle by entering a value (in meters) here. Note: this setting only affects how the map shows the movement area perimeter.  The actual figure used by the Device may not be configurable and varies by Device and manufacturer. You should set this value from your Device documentation or actual experience.

  • Speed Alarm - An alarm will be sent if the selected speed (in kph) is exceeded - Speeds below 50kph are not recommended as they may cause false triggering.

  • Shake Alarm - An alarm will be sent if the Device is shaken. The sensitivity values allowed depend upon the tracker type - See your tracker documentation.  Note: not all devices support this function

  • Stockade Alarm - (Also known as GeoFence) An alarm will be sent if the Device moves outside of user defined boundaries. A yellow rectangle showing the area enclosed by the stockade will be shown on the map if this alarm is active. Press the 'Edit Settings' button to change the boundaries of the Stockade alarm. The boundaries can be set in the following ways: (remember to press 'Save' to keep any new values)

    • Map - Define the area by dragging the top left and bottom right corners of the stockade directly on the map. (press the back button to leave the map and return to the set-up screen)

    • Preset - use one of the quick preset stockade values centered on either the last position of the Device, your current position if known or the current stockade value if any.

    • Box - set width & height of the stockade centered on either the last position of the Device, your current position if known or the current stockade value if any.

    • Manual - Enter the top/left & bottom/right latitude and longitude values directly. (uses signed coordinates)
