Audio Video Term

Geofencing

Geofencing is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Geofencing is automation based on a phone or user crossing a virtual geographic boundary around the home or business.

Example of Geofencing

A homeowner presses a single Goodnight button and the lights turn off, shades lower, doors lock, security arms, and the thermostat adjusts. In that kind of Davis smart home project, the term Geofencing would describe automation based on a phone or user crossing a virtual geographic boundary around the home or business. Davis would use that understanding to account for scenes, schedules, sensors, app controls, and support routines that work together instead of feeling like separate gadgets, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
