VUSafe uses beacon technology to locate your device using GPS, WiFi and Cellular services.
Location services must be enabled on your phone to send your location to Security Services using the Mobile BlueLight (emergency alarm) and live tracking using the Friend Walk.

Notification services must be enabled on your phone to receive the notifications. If you’re connected to a network you’ll get a notification even when the app is not running.
You should trigger the Mobile BlueLight to send an emergency notification if you feel unsafe, if you or someone else has been threatened, assaulted or robbed.
You should report a tip when you see any security incidents or suspicious activity on campus or in carparks. You can use the options to send a photo or video tip, as well as an email.
