Alarm handling, telemetry and system integration
This powerful TrakRanger feature allows dealers and users alike to create flexible alerts based on system events. When triggered a rule can check against any number of criteria and if successful then run one or more actions. The triggers range from a location update to a PTT, with criteria from location to speed and more.
Examples of rules in action might be:
- Texting supervisors on their mobile phones when an emergency has arisen
- Sending an email to the two department heads whenever a member of staff enters a particular area
- Integrating to a CCTV control system to make cameras pan/zoom to a given area in the event of an emergency
- Emailing an alert should a device be over speeding
- Monitoring a base radio to alerting by SMS & email in the event it goes down
- Converting an email to a text message on a radio
Each rule is made up of three components; Triggers, Criteria and Actions. Below are some of the available options:
