The Types of Alerts You Can Use on a GPS Tracker

 

Depending on the GPS tracker you purchase, we provide several different alert options out of the box. These include:
- Regular location updates
- Motion alerts
- Speed alerts
- Geofence alerts

 

You can easily set and monitor your tracker’s location and alerts through our smartphone application, or you can choose to receive alerts via email.
We’ll explore each of these GPS for business alert options below, together with potential use cases.

Regular Location Updates
It is the most basic type of alert that tells you where the tracker is right now. Our trackers provide location updates at regular intervals and, your smartphone app will plot them on a map so you can track movement over time. It’s an ideal type of alert for close tracking of specific movements.
- Tracking where your vehicle is right now
- Tracking your fleet of trucks or commercial vehicles so you can confirm departure, arrival, and delivery times
- Tracking your child when they’re not in your home to make sure they stay safe
- Any other tracking that relies on knowing the specific location of a person, vehicle, or other objects

 

Motion Alerts
Motion alerts tell you when a GPS tracker and whatever it is tracking starts and stops moving. You can choose to receive an email or SMS alert as soon as motion is detected. It’s an ideal type of alert if you want to know that something is in motion, rather than where it is or how fast it’s moving.
- Ensuring your vehicle moves only when you’re driving
- Detecting when a parked vehicle is driven away
- Monitoring your commercial fleet so that drivers do not move the vehicle outside regulations
- Any other tracking that relies on knowing when something has started or stopped moving

 

Speed Alerts
Speed alerts tell you when the thing you’re tracking moves above a certain speed. You can choose to get an alert whenever the speed threshold is breached. It’s an ideal type of alert if you want to know if something is traveling too quickly.

- Tracking if your kids are going above the speed limit when they borrow your car
- Checking that your fleet drivers are obeying the rules of the road and staying under speed limits
- Calculating how quickly a vehicle will arrive at its destination
- Any other tracking that relies on knowing if a speed limit is exceeded

 

Geofence Alerts
Geofence alerts are some of the most sophisticated alerts we provide. They allow you to set up certain boundaries on a map and get a notification if the GPS tracker moves out of or into those boundaries. You can also set up multiple geofences to receive several alerts as the trackers move through them. It’s an ideal type of alert if you want to know whether a GPS tracker has breached a geographic area that you have set.

- Tracking when your child leaves a designated area like their school
- Tracking when an elder leaves your home
- Ensuring that valuable items in your business stay within your business property
- Tracking goods as they move through certain parts of a supply chain
- Receiving notifications when vehicles leave your location or arrive at a customer’s location
- Any other tracking that relies on knowing when a particular boundary has been crossed
