Do I need a BrickHouse Security GPS tracker and subscription to use the app?

Yes, you must have an active GPS tracker and BrickHouse Security subscription service associated with track.brickhousesecurity.com to use the LBS Manager app.

Will you have an app for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile phones?

No, we do not have a version for BlackBerry or Windows mobile. If you have these devices, you can still access your account via the mobile web browser.

Can I view live active GPS tracking on the app?

Yes, the LBS Manager app is a view-only app that presents the last tracked location and breadcrumb trails.

How can I get the last tracked location?

Once a device is selected, the app presents the last tracked location on the map. A subscriber can tap the refresh or the locate now buttons to request a more recent tracked location.

What if I don’t see a location on the Map?

Be sure that you selected a device to report. Also, confirm that your GPS Account is active, and the device is charged or was reporting to the web version of the platform. If a location is stored in the GPS Platform, it will be this “last” location that will be displayed in the app. You may also want to confirm that you have wireless data or WiFi turned on to enable the transfer of location data to the app.

Will the app allow me to see multiple devices?

If you have multiple devices within one account, your devices will appear in a list on the Select a Device screen. To provide a good user experience on small mobile screens, you can select any devices from the list and then toggle from one device to the next to view their locations on a map.

Will the app cause my battery to discharge?

No, since it is a viewing app and presents the most recent activity, and not live tracking it does not drain the battery unless the user continually requests updates. However, as with all location-based apps, we recommend the user logs out of the app and confirms that it is not operating in the background as this can cause the battery to drain.
