SMARTS

Auto-APN	Auto-APN allows the device to analyze the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware.
Battery Life Monitoring	Built-in Battery Meter for monitoring battery use and remaining life predictions.
Environmental Monitoring	Interface with a range of sensors such as temperature, humidity, moisture, depth, and more.
Geofencing	Create custom geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves specific locations.
Geofence Download to Device	Geofences can be downloaded directly to the device from Telematics Guru for enhanced location-based actions and alerts. Maximum of 100 Geofences with up to 100 points per geofence.
Impact Detection	Configure impact-detection alerts when g-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold.
Periodic or Movement-Based	Configure parameters to send updates based on set time intervals (1x, 3x, 5x a day, etc) or when movement occurs. Adaptive tracking technology detects when the device is on the move and increases the update rate, providing detail when you need it while conserving battery when stationary.
Preventative Maintenance	Set reminders based on distance traveled and run hours to reduce maintenance and repair costs.
Real-Time Tracking	Device remains continuously connected while on the move for real-time asset tracking.* *Optional when device is externally powered.
Theft Recovery	Switch to Recovery Mode in the case of theft or loss to activate real-time tracking at 30-second intervals for asset retrieval.
Run Hour Monitoring	Capture run hours based on movement and/or distance traveled to understand and optimize asset utilization.
Sleep Mode	Stationary devices enter sleep mode, switching the update rate to only twice per day until movement occurs to conserve battery life and optimize data usage.
