GeoFencing

🔔

Receive automatic notifications when a team member enters or leaves a specific area. GeoFencing is built on your Points of Interest and works even when devices are offline.

What Is GeoFencing?

GeoFencing creates an invisible boundary around a location (defined by a Point of Interest). When a monitored device crosses that boundary — either entering or leaving — you receive an encrypted notification on your device.

📌 GeoFencing boundaries are based on the proximity radius of your Points of Interest (10–500 m). Adjust the radius on your POI to make the zone larger or smaller.

Setting Up a GeoFence Alert

Open the GeoFencing section from the navigation drawer and configure three things:

1. WHO — Select Devices to Monitor

Devices are listed by team, in collapsible sections
Select individual devices or use the team-level checkbox to select all at once
Each device is an independent monitoring target

2. WHERE — Select Monitoring Locations

Choose from your private POIs or shared team POIs
Private and shared POIs are clearly separated
You can monitor multiple locations simultaneously

3. WHAT — Choose the Trigger

Entry only — alert when the device enters the area
Exit only — alert when the device leaves the area
Both — alert on both entry and exit

A real-time summary shows your full configuration before you save. The Save button is only active when all required fields are complete.

Receiving GeoFence Alerts

When a boundary crossing is detected, you receive an encrypted notification containing:

Event type: 📥 ENTERED or 📤 EXITED
Device name that triggered the event
Name of the GeoFence (POI) that was crossed
Timestamp (time only for today's events; full date for older events)

🕐 A 5-minute minimum interval between events prevents repeated alerts if a device hovers near a boundary. You will only receive one alert per direction change every 5 minutes.

Event History

All GeoFence events are stored locally in a history list, sorted newest first. The history remains accessible even after notifications are dismissed.

Tap any event in the history to jump to the map and automatically track that device's current location
The map shows where the device is now, not where it was during the event
History is persistent — it survives app restarts

How It Works

Xopoz uses a device-side detection approach. Monitored devices detect their own boundary crossings locally and send encrypted notifications to your device via the team messaging system. No GPS data is processed on the server.

Offline Behaviour

If a monitored device detects a boundary crossing while it has no internet connection, the notification is queued locally. When network connectivity is restored, all queued notifications are automatically delivered — with no time limit.

Battery friendly. GeoFencing detection reuses the existing GPS acquisition system with no additional power overhead. No extra GPS requests are made solely for GeoFencing.

Privacy

All GeoFence notifications are encrypted using team-specific keys. The server routes encrypted messages without being able to read their content. GeoFence configurations are stored locally on your device — the server never knows what areas you are monitoring.
