Movement-Based Theft Alerts are based on GPS data which means the alert will trigger even if the asset has not moved by itself - for example, if the asset is loaded on a truck and driven away.

Good to know
What is the starting GPS location used to track this alert?
The last GPS location data that is received at the end of the defined working hours will be used to track the asset’s movement. For example, if the working day ends at 17:00 and the last GPS location data comes in at 17:10, the movement will be tracked from 17:10.
Can I edit the alert after it has been created?
Yes, you edit your alerts at any time by going into Alerts and selecting the alert you would like to edit.
What is the difference between a Site-Based Theft Alert and the Movement-Based Theft Alert?
The Site-Based Theft Alert will only alert you when an asset has left the specified site, whereas the Movement-Based Theft Alert is based on how far the asset has moved and if the movement has occurred outside of your defined working hours.
What should I do if I have different working hours for different days?
You can use the Custom option under working hours to set a specific start and end time for each day of the week. Active is used to only specify the days with working hours, while All day is used to indicate that movement is allowed for the entire day (24 hours).
