Draw safe zones on a map and get an instant alert the moment the phone arrives or leaves — so you can stop watching the map and let it watch for you.
Following a live map is reassuring, but nobody can stare at one all day. Geofencing solves that. With MobileTracking you draw virtual boundaries, geofences, around the places that matter, such as home, school, a friend's house or a worksite, and the moment the target phone crosses one, you get an instant alert. Instead of checking the map again and again, you let the map tell you when something happens.
For parents this is transformative. Set a geofence around the school and you get a quiet notification when your child arrives in the morning and when they leave in the afternoon. Set one around home and you know the moment they are safely back. No nagging texts, no anxious refreshing, just a calm ping at exactly the right moment. It is one of the features customers tell us gives them back the most peace of mind.
Geofencing builds on MobileTracking's GPS location tracking, and works alongside Wi-Fi tracking to stay accurate even indoors. Together they make sure that when a phone enters or leaves a zone, you hear about it promptly and reliably, wherever that zone happens to be.
Setting up a geofence takes seconds, find the location on the map, draw the boundary, and name it. From then on, MobileTracking watches that zone for you and alerts you on entry, exit, or both, as you prefer. You can create as many zones as you need, so a typical family might have geofences for home, school, a grandparent's house and a sports club, each with its own alerts.
The alerts are most powerful when combined with the rest of your location tools. If a geofence tells you a phone has left a safe zone unexpectedly, the live GPS map shows you exactly where it is heading, and features like the remote camera can help you understand the situation. Geofencing is the trigger; the other tools give you the full picture.
