The Fence Alarm app allows the user to do several things: 1) View real time and historical data of their electric fence voltage. 2) Set fence threshold levels as to when they would like to be alerted if the fence voltage drops. 3) Add or remove additional contacts that will also receive alerts from the fence alarm device. With the revolutionary new Fence Alarm you are only a text message away from knowing your fence’s condition. Instead of taking hours inspecting your fence every week or when you are out of town wondering if it’s working properly, Fence-Alarm will always be there to notify you of any fence-related issue.
