Abstract
The disclosed system obtains a current time and a time fence indicating a daily time period and determines whether the current time is within the time fence. Upon determining that the current time is outside the time fence, the system operates the battery in a low-power mode, where the low-power mode is configured to conserve power associated with the battery. When the battery is in the low-power mode and the system detects an unusual operation associated with the vehicle, the system sends an indication to multiple monitoring units coupled to multiple vehicles within a predetermined area to send a notification indicating the unusual operation.
