Speed Alerts
What It Is
The Speed Alerts feature lets users set a specific speed threshold for any vehicle, automatically notifying them by SMS or email whenever that limit is exceeded. Located within the LocateLive page under the left-hand menu, this feature provides real-time insight into driver behavior and vehicle activity—whether for safety monitoring, performance tracking, or recovery purposes.
Why It’s Important
Speed Alerts are a powerful tool for identifying vehicle abuse, enforcing responsible driving, and improving recovery response times. Lenders, rental companies, and fleet operators can set limits to detect misuse or unsafe operation, while recovery agents can use low-speed alerts as a signal that a target vehicle is moving. Whether preventing reckless driving or aiding a repossession, this feature ensures you’re always one step ahead.
Key Highlights
- Custom speed thresholds — set any limit to trigger automatic alerts
- Instant notifications — receive alerts via SMS or email the moment a vehicle exceeds the limit
- Flexible use cases — monitor abuse, driver behavior, or live movement for recovery operations
- Live integration — works seamlessly within LocateLive for immediate visibility
- Easy configuration — takes less than a minute to set up
How to Use Speed Alerts
- Locate a vehicle using LocateLive.
- From the left-hand menu, select Speed Alert.
- Enter your desired speed threshold (e.g., 100 mph for high-value rentals, or 10 km/h for recovery monitoring).
- Click Save to activate the alert.
- When the vehicle exceeds the set speed, an automatic SMS or email notification will be sent.
- Adjust or disable the alert anytime from the same menu.
Example Uses
- Vehicle abuse monitoring: Detect excessive speeding in rental or loaned vehicles.
