The Fleet Monitoring plugin integrates global positioning system (GPS), accelerometer, and general-purpose input and output (GPIO) sensors onboard vehicles into Security Center as AVL entities. The plugin allows for integration of an LCD screen to monitor the status of the system and cameras within the vehicle. Using the plugin, you can monitor your vehicle location and offload data and video in Security Center.
The solution consists of two plugins:
- Security Center Vehicle Monitoring plugin: Installed on the vehicle system, this plugin collects telematics, GPS information, and other sensor data as GPS (Global Positioning System) entities. This plugin provides information on status of on-board cameras and archivers running on the Security Center server.
- Security Center Fleet Monitoring plugin: Installed on the Enterprise Federation™ headend system, this plugin aggregates the location, accelerometer, input, and camera data into a new entity, called an AVL (Automatic Vehicle Locator) entity.
