Geo-fences
Geo-fence is a virtual perimeter for a real geographic area.
​
Geo-fences are used to define virtual perimeters. The system can control whether object crossed geo-fence border (either “in” or “out”). All these events are logged, so user can obtain geo-fence reports and receive alerts.
​
Moreover, you can assign various rules for events to particular geo-fences. For example, if you need to get speeding alerts only within a certain area (e.g. in city) or route.
​
To access Geo-fences tool, click the Polygon icon on the map toolbar. Here you can create and import new geo-fences or edit the existing ones. To display desired geo-fences on map simply mark check boxes.
Geo-fence types
​
There are three basic types of geo-fences available:
​
-
Circle – geographical area with a given center and the shape of a circle with a minimum radius of 21 yards (radius and center of the circle are defined by user).
-
Polygon – area bounded by an arbitrary polygon with any number of vertices.
-
Route – allows to create a virtual perimeter between two (or more) points. E.g., it is used in order to ensure that a asset doesn’t leave a predetermined route, and if it does, an alarm can be set to inform the interested party.
How to create a geo-fence
​
-
Locate the desired area on the map. You can use ‘Address search’ tool.
-
Choose ‘Geo-fences’ tool by clicking on the Polygon icon in the bottom of screen.
-
Click the Add geo-fence button.
-
Choose one of three shapes from the list and enter geo-fence name.
-
Draw a geo-fence on the map:
-
Circle – move a circle with a mouse, having pressed the center of the circle. To change the size of the circle, pull the point on the edge of the circle.
-
Polygon – initially has a form of the correct pentagon, which can be easily and randomly changed. To add new vertices, you need to pull the mouse over the center of one of the polygon’s sides. To delete a vertex just double-click on it.
-
Route – you need to choose start and end points, the system will automatically build a route between them. If you want to add more points on the route, drag the route with the mouse. Next, determine the size of the vicinity.
-
-
Specify the name of the geo-fence and save it. Geo-fences you created can be edited or deleted.
