Security Events
The Security Events report is a single log of the security-related events across your fleet — battery disconnections, SOS or panic activations, and towing detection — each with its location and how quickly it was responded to. It is built for fleet security and control-room teams who need one place to review incidents.

What the report shows
The report gathers every security event for the period and summarises the totals:
- Total Events — all security events recorded across the fleet in the period.
- Battery Disconnects — how many times a device lost its main power supply, which can indicate tampering.
- SOS Alerts — the number of SOS or panic-button activations by drivers.
- Towing Events — movements detected that look like the vehicle was towed rather than driven.
- Vehicles Affected — how many distinct vehicles were involved in these events.
- Avg Response Time — the average time taken to respond to an event, a measure of how quickly your team reacts.

Schedule it
Use the Scheduled tab to receive a daily security digest by email, giving supervisors a summary of overnight events. For instant notification of individual events, set up alerts rather than relying on the report.
Frequently asked questions
Do these events need extra hardware?
Battery-disconnect and towing detection work from the standard AVLView tracking device. SOS/panic events need an SOS or panic-button add-on wired into the vehicle.
Is this the same as real-time alerts?
No — the report is a historical log for review and analysis. For immediate warning when an event happens, use AVLView alerts, which notify you as the event is detected.
