Virtual Speed Cameras allow you to identify speeding issues in real time and better manage driver behaviour. You can set a geofence with a custom speed limit for a designated area of risk such as a depot, school or black spot. If a driver exceeds the speed limit in this area you will be notified by an email in real time.

You can manage geofences from the "Geofences" section in the Administration area of the Activity screen.

• A geofence needs to be at least 250 metres in diameter to allow the EROAD unit to detect activity in the geofence.
• The maximum size of a geofence is 25 square kilometres.
• Users with only the basic role can view but not create, edit or remove geofences.
• When a vehicle exceeds the Virtual Speed Camera speed limit an email notification will be sent to designated recipients who have access to the vehicle’s fleet.

4.   Click once then release the mouse, move the mouse to the next place and click and release the mouse again.

5.   Continue clicking, releasing and moving the mouse around until you are ready to close the geofence. Complex geofences may require many points.

6.    Double-click to close the geofence.

7.    Once the geofence has been drawn, a panel called "Save New Geofence" appears for you to enter a name.

8.    Select the type of Geofence ‘Virtual Speed Camera’.

The minimum speed for virtual speed cameras is 15km/h.
