We have had a few customers require alerts for both panic buttons which they wire to our GO-3000 and GPSI-4000 devices, as well as “power cycle” alerts (due to tampering, battery changes, etc.).

They are now there, and here is how to use them:

First, open the Alerts Manager:

GPS Insight Switch Alerts

Then choose the “Switch-Based Alert” option:

GPS Insight Switch Alerts

Here is where you can then choose either a panic switch based alert, or a power-cycle-based alert:

Panic vs. Power Cycle Alert

The next time a Panic Switch is detected (or a Power Cycle of the GPS Insight device), you will receive an email and/or an SMS text message letting you know.

This capability will be very helpful for customers with high-risk environments (cab drivers, etc.), as well as to help detect if/when drivers are intentionally disconnecting the GPS Insight device in order to escape being tracked.

As always, call for details at 866-GPS-4321, #2,1 for Tech Support.
