Creating Vehicle Alerts

How to create alerts for events like power loss or impact detection in RAM Tracking.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Event alerts notify you immediately when something concerning happens to your vehicles. Get instant email notifications about security issues, technical problems, or potential incidents.

Discover how to set up automatic alerts to stay informed about important vehicle events.

Getting Started with Alerts

First, navigate to RAM Evolution in the top menu, then click Alerts. This opens the alerts window where you can create notifications for various vehicle events.

Creating Your First Alert

The process is straightforward:

  1. Select your vehicle from the dropdown in the top right

  2. Choose the alert type you want to create

  3. Configure the settings for when and how you'll be notified

Recommended Alert Types

Power Loss Alerts

These are essential for security monitoring. A power loss alert can indicate that the tracker has lost connection from the vehicle's battery, which might mean someone is tampering with your vehicle or there's a technical issue.

Impact Detected Alerts

These alerts serve a dual purpose. An impact detection could mean your vehicle has been in a collision and needs immediate attention. Alternatively, it might indicate that someone is trying to remove or tamper with the tracker.

Both of these alert types help protect your fleet and give you peace of mind.

Configuring Alert Settings

When to Activate

Most alerts should run continuously; select the 24/7 option to ensure you're always protected. However, you can customise the timing if needed for specific business requirements.

Email Recipients

Enter the email addresses that should receive these alerts. If you want multiple people to be notified, separate each email address with a semicolon, then type the next email.

Saving Your Settings

Click Save to activate your alert. You can create as many different alerts as you need for each vehicle.

Why Event Alerts Matter

Event alerts give you immediate awareness of problems that need urgent attention. Instead of discovering issues hours or days later, you'll know within minutes when something happens to your vehicles. This rapid response capability can help prevent theft, reduce damage, and improve overall fleet security.

The system monitors your vehicles continuously, so you don't have to. When configured properly, event alerts act as your early warning system for anything that could affect your fleet's safety or security.
