WaveTrac Sensors
EP
The WaveTrac Sensors page allows configuration of WaveTrac sensors. The WaveTrac Sensors menu
item is only available when Event Processing is enabled.
WaveTrac sensors are auto-detected and auto-registered by the system. A Class needs to be assigned to
a WaveTrac Sensor before it will be actively used by the system.
WaveTrac sensors can be used in fixed or mobile sensing applications, and special WaveTrac sensor
models can be used to track wandering residents and detect call events from the sensor. WaveTrac
sensors require deployment of WaveTrac Wireless Receivers as a sensor monitoring infrastructure, in
order to successfully manage the tracking of the WaveTrac sensors.
