GPS Geo-Fence Vehicle Alert Kit with Arduino Nano + LED
Build Your Own GPS Geo-Fence Vehicle Alert System with Arduino Nano
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Whether you’re protecting your personal car, managing a delivery fleet, or building a prototype for a security startup, this kit lets you create a reliable geo-fence that sends SMS alerts the moment your vehicle crosses a preset boundary. No subscriptions, no cloud dependencies—just a self-contained system powered by Arduino Nano.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional GPS tracker with an OLED display showing coordinates, speed, and distance from a reference point. When the vehicle moves outside the defined radius—say 500 metres from your home or office—the SIM800L module instantly sends an SMS to your phone. The entire system fits into a waterproof enclosure, ready for real-world deployment.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing the NEO-6M GPS module with Arduino Nano to parse NMEA sentences and extract real-time location data
- Configuring the SIM800L GSM module for SMS alert transmission, mastering AT commands and network registration
- Implementing geo-fence logic using distance calculations and triggering alerts when boundaries are breached
- Managing field power with a LiPo battery, buck converter, and charging module for standalone operation

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE) tackling vehicle tracking projects, professionals in fleet management prototyping a custom alert system, and security system integrators needing a ready-to-deploy module. It also fits Smart India Hackathon teams building surveillance prototypes and ATL lab mentors demonstrating GPS-GSM integration.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion provides exact pin mappings and troubleshooting for this kit. Additionally, reach out on WhatsApp and our team will guide you through any step.
Can I adjust the geo-fence radius or use multiple zones?
Yes, the Arduino code can be modified to define any radius in metres. You can also program multiple waypoints for route-based alerts, all documented in the build guide.
Does this kit include a SIM card and data plan?
A SIM card is not included—you’ll need an active 2G/GSM SIM (any Indian provider) with SMS balance. The module uses only SMS, no data, keeping running costs low.
Is the enclosure really waterproof for vehicle mounting?
The enclosure carries an IP65 rating when properly sealed, protecting the electronics from rain, dust, and splashes. We recommend a shaded spot on the vehicle to prevent overheating.
NEO-6M GPS monitors vehicle position. SIM800L sends SMS when vehicle leaves defined boundary radius.
