Recovery mode can be used to help recover a stolen asset.

When Set:

Device reports more frequently and begins 'live tracking' when on the move.
For battery-powered devices, we can easily switch from infrequent tracking (e.g. 4 x daily updates) to ‘live-tracking’ to recover an asset.

Hard-wired devices will already ‘live-track’ as standard while on the move, so while recovery mode can be set on these devices, it is not as relevant as to battery-powered devices.

NOTE: While there are no additional charges involved in setting Recovery Mode, the following points need to be kept in mind

Increased data usage will be seen until Recovery Mode is deactivated.
Significantly increased battery usage for the duration Recovery Mode is active.

? Given the above, we select an expiry time when setting Recovery Mode

(i.e. Expire after 12 hours) - so that the device leaves this mode and doesn't remain in recovery mode indefinitely, draining the battery life.
