How does Ifuate assist when my asset is stolen

At Ifuate we do use a preventive and timely notification approach when dealing with theft. It is highly recommended that you pay the monthly subscriptions. This way our server uses intelligent technology to detect and notify you immediately a suspicious thing is detected on your vehicle such as the alarm going off, the vehicle overs speeding and above all there is the Ifuate location locking feature. This is how Ifuate location locking works: Immediately after parking your vehicle, go to the Ifuate mobile application or mobile website, and select the "Activate Movement Alarm" action for your vehicle. Our server will then immediately note the location of your vehicle and notify you that the movement alarm has been successfully set. If your asset moves, even if its 5 meters from the location where you parked it, you will be sent a notification to your mobile phone to notify you about this movement. This ensure that you are notified about the suspicious activity immediately it happens. Please note that your vehicle needs to be connected to our Ifuate server for this to work. To increase on security, with Ifuate GPS tracking, we will give you the location of your asset every two seconds. With such a short tracking interval, we are able to give you a very precise location and behavior update for your asset which helps a lot in recovery process.
