GPS & Geofencing
-
Geofencing is one of the most effective methods of using GPS tracking systems to detect stolen property. This method works when the stolen property is being moved outside of its perimeter. In other words, if it goes outside its designated area, then the wireless tracking system will sound an alarm, and alert a security dispatcher who is employed by the GPS provider. This service is part of a monthly payment plan, and only works if the individual registers for it when purchasing the product.
Battery Resiliency
-
Once the security dispatcher is alerted, the police are notified, and are often able to recover the stolen property that is carrying the GPS tracking system within an hour after being stolen. The battery of the tracking system is still resilient, as it is able to still be located even if the thief cuts the battery cable.
