What is Geofencing?
INS LifeGuard • Nov 29, 2021
Nothing in this world is more important than the safety of those we care about. The problem is that as much as we want to always be there for them physically to make sure no harm comes their way, it’s just impossible to do so. Life simply tends to get in the way and demand our time.
There is, however, a solution to help ensure that your loved ones are safe at all times. It’s called geofencing. With this technology, you can protect your loved ones even when you are not physically there with them.
What is Geofencing?
A geofence is a virtual geographic boundary set around the physical boundaries of a particular area. When a person with an enabled mobile device enters or exits the geofenced location, an action will be triggered. Depending on how the geofence is configured, the action can be triggering an alert and delivering location-based data.
Where is Geofencing Used?
Geofencing technology is utilised across various industries, ranging from marketing to security.
In marketing, geofencing is used by advertising agencies to send alerts for promotional offers or events to internet-capable devices that enter a designated area. This allows them to precisely target their content and get it out at the right moment.
Another good example of where geofencing is useful is in emergency response coordination. This technology is utilised by emergency response teams such as paramedics, police, and firefighters to improve their response time to emergency calls. They analyse the location data obtained from geofence alerts to determine areas where they need to improve.
Geofencing can also be used to protect individuals who wander due to cognitive disease. Wandering is a risk associated with many conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, and dementia (which can result from Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, head injuries, and Parkinson’s disease). With geofence alarms, your loved one’s emergency contacts will be notified immediately if they leave a designated area.
And since geofencing technology is defined by GPS, this means that it can also be utilised as a personal safety device by lone workers and other persons who live in isolated areas. Geofencing makes it easier to track, notify and raise alerts to lone workers and remote staff when needed. It is a great solution to protect them wherever they are.
Keep Yourself, Your Loved Ones, or Your Workers Safe with Geofence Alarms
Having a device with GPS tracking and geofencing gives you peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are easy to find if they wander off. Not only that, but it’s also a great personal safety device for lone workers and remote staff.
INS offers the LifeGuard SmartCarer app. The LifeGuard SmartCarer app provides clients’ families, village managers and carers with the unique ability to interact with the client’s LifeGuard SmartHome IPD or any of our mobile alarm products, including the LifeGuard SmartMobile, SmartTracker, SafetyWatch, or the LifeGuard SmartMobile app.
This provides family or carers with the ability to set Geofence alerts and location requests, and receive notifications for concerns relating to personal safety. When an alarm is triggered (e.g. when the user enters or exits a designated area) the alerts are sent to the family or carer so they can locate the person.
