WeiterlesenUse case
The “Notification on motion” function is intended for scenarios where theft protection is a concern in the broadest sense, for example a parked bicycle or car.
Functionality
If this function is switched on, the GPS tracker monitors whether it is being moved. Since detection is carried out via the integrated acceleration sensor, a GPS position is not necessary. If the device is moved, for example shaken, it reports that it has been moved via a push message.
If such an event is detected, the GPS tracker goes into alarm mode. This is because the GPS tracker, or the object to which it is attached or hidden, is obviously being moved, although this should not happen. In active alarm mode, the GPS tracker sends position data every 10 seconds and informs repeatedly (at intervals of around three minutes) if the GPS tracker continues to move.
If the GPS tracker remains still for a certain period of time (cool-down phase), the alarm mode is ended and the GPS tracker switches back to the last mode used. The change is again communicated via a push message. The active alarm mode can also be ended early via the app.
Note
Even if it is possible, the “Notification on motion” function should not be switched on at the same time as the “Notification when stationary” function, as one function is the opposite of the other. If both functions are switched on, the GPS tracker is almost permanently in alarm mode, which results in increased battery consumption and a high number of push notifications.
