This feature lets you create a Geofence (user-defined area) that triggers a push notification when you exit its boundaries without arming your security system.


Your device's Location Services must be enabled and set correctly for any Geofence-related feature to work properly.

For more information on these settings, see these FAQs:

  • How do I set up Geofence Arming Reminders on iOS?
  • How do I set up Geofence Arming Reminders on Android devices?

Notes:

  • This feature is found only on the iOS and Android apps.
  • Push Notifications must be enabled before you can set up a Geofence Arming Reminder.
  • You can arm the system remotely from the app, so you don't have to schlep back home if you leave without arming the system.
  • Each Location in a remote services account can have its own Geofence.
  • The default size of the Geofence is 1 mile (1.6 KM).
  • The size you set is a matter of personal preference, but settings less than 1 mile are not recommended.
