A unit (a monitoring unit) is a tracked vehicle, machinery (including stationary), person, or animal.

You can work with units in the monitoring system (the Units tab) and in the management system (the Units section).

The process of creating and configuring units is described in detail in this section of the documentation.

The table of the Units section contains all the created units which you can track in the monitoring system. It also shows deactivated units which are unavailable to users in the monitoring system. To quickly find units, use the dynamic filter.
