Alert when phone is outside of a region!

Post by xxxDennisxxx »

There is a option called "Private Region". I need something like that but a bit changed - I want to select an area or "region" where my tracking phone should be. If the Phone leaves this area i want to be notified via Email!

I think this isn't hard to make and would be an Awesome Feature for controlling my dog. So i will be notified if my dog leaves my house.

Thank you! :D :D

Hi,
This Geofence alert feature has been requested already several times. Maybe this feature will be added but don't expect it for the near future because it means high effort for the server.

Geofence is indeed asked for many times.

Is it possible to make it a paid add-on to cover the server costs?

I'm still not sure if and at which time I will add this feature. But I'm pretty sure that it if I add it it will be a non-free feature.

Hello, It's something I absolutely need.

I want to use this app for machine protection, when it's outside the (webbased configurable) region, I need an sms, call or email.
The alternative is buying a +250euro device with a monthly fee of 12 euro.

If it's asking too much of your server, is it possible to run that on my own PC/server?
It's on 24/7, because of my Video surveillance. Unfortunately, Fixed IP is not possible here.

Or maybe a (web enable-disable) move-alarm is possible (email, call, sms) This calculation can be done inside the smartphone.

I'm new to this forum and to your app. Looks great.

The system cannot run on an external system. The feature itself is a high professional feature with high effort so it would not be particularly cheap.

If you need a good/cheap gps tracker with sms alarm (with google maps link embedded), try this. I have one in my truck.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/GPS-GSM-GPRS-Veh ... 0817327184

With a cheap pay2go sim card like speakout7eleven (in Canada) : 25$/year
In Belgium, you can purchase some proximus sim card for even less.

And of course, you can define on that board a geofence...
Link to the doc :

Can't obtain more for that price !

The gps tracker is great for security purposes, and RealTime GPS Tracker is a must for location sharing !!
