Geofence Areas

A geofence is a virtual perimeter defined by GPS coordinates. Geofence areas are displayed when you use the Locate function to locate your devices on the map. When you configure a geofence area and define it as the Home area, Avalanche can generate an alert when devices report a GPS position that is outside of the defined area. Geofences are configured for an AIDC mobile device profile.

Smart device geofence areas are created and controlled through the Compliance Payload. To configure for smart devices, see Compliance Payload (Android/iOS)
