Notification system in Forguard: Security Features at Your Fingertips

In today’s world, safeguarding your vehicle is more than just a matter of protecting your property; it’s about ensuring the safety of your loved ones and preserving your peace of mind. With car theft still a prevalent issue, having a reliable security system in place is crucial.

Our app, Forguard, has repeatedly proven its value by helping users not only protect their cars but also recover them in the unfortunate event of theft. Let’s dive into how Forguard’s notification system can help you keep your vehicle safe, explore its functionalities, and show you how to make the most of its features.

The Importance of Notifications

One of the key features that sets Forguard apart is its robust notification system. Timely alerts can make all the difference when it comes to preventing unauthorized use or theft of your vehicle.

🛡️ Enhanced Security Mode

One of the most vital notifications available in Forguard is the Security Mode.
Our development team recently improved this feature, making it more effective for a wider range of vehicles, regardless of their speed. Previously, Security Mode was not as responsive for slower vehicles, but with these updates, it now works uniformly across all vehicle types.

To activate Security Mode, simply click on the corresponding button on the Quick Access buttons Toolbar. When this mode is activated, a security zone with a 100-meter radius is created around your vehicle. The moment your car crosses this boundary, you will receive an instant notification.

This feature is particularly useful in cases where your vehicle might be moved without your knowledge.

📣 Geofence Exit Notifications

Another powerful notification in Forguard is the geofence enter/exit alert. This feature allows you to create a virtual perimeter—known as a geofence—around your vehicle.

To set this up, simply go to the "Geofence" tab within the app and design a geofence of any shape that suits your needs. Once your geofence is in place, navigate to the Unit Settings section and enable notifications for Geofence Exit.

From this point on, you will receive an immediate alert whenever your vehicle leaves the designated area, significantly increasing your chances of preventing theft or unauthorized use.

🚗 Trip Start Notification

Forguard also offers a Trip Start notification to keep you informed about the moment your vehicle begins moving. To enable this notification, go to the Unit Settings - Notifications and toggle the Trip Start option in the Simple Notifications section.

This feature is particularly useful if you want to be alerted as soon as your vehicle starts a trip, providing an additional layer of security.

Event Actions: Automating Vehicle Responses

Forguard also offers a unique feature called "Event Actions". This allows you to set up automatic command sending to the GPS tracker based on specific events.

For instance, you can set up an automatic command to lock the engine whenever your vehicle exits a geofence. This functionality can also be triggered at the start of a trip, further enhancing the security of your car by enabling you to take immediate action if the vehicle is moved unexpectedly.
Here's how you can do it:

1. Navigate to the Commands Panel and select Event Actions, then Geofences events actions.
2. Choose the geofence from the list. If you haven't created any geofences yet, you'll need to do so in the Geofences tab.
3. Select "Exit" as the trigger condition, and assign the command to be sent automatically.

Remember, if you want to send a custom command, you'll need to create and save it first, and then it will always be available in the list.

This ensures that your car is always protected, even when you’re not around to monitor it directly.

Success Stories from Real Users

Forguard’s effectiveness isn’t just theoretical; it is confirmed by real cases that have changed the situation for our users.
For example, one of our partners reached out to us after a client’s vehicle was stolen. With the help of the Forguard platform, we were able to track the last known location of the vehicle using the connected GPS tracker. The police were able to pinpoint the car’s exact location on an underground parking lot near the last reported position by analyzing the data transmitted by the tracker.

In another case, a user was able to remotely disable the engine of their stolen motorcycle using our app, leading to its successful recovery. These are just a few examples of the many success stories where our users have been able to recover their stolen vehicles thanks to Forguard.
