1. A monitoring system, the monitoring system comprising:
- a monitor device, wherein the monitor device includes;
a location determination circuit operable to determine a two-dimensional location of the monitor device;
an elevation determination circuit operable to determine an elevation of the monitor device within a building;
a memory, wherein the memory includes;
textural zone data indicating at least one zone including a two dimensional region corresponding to at least a portion of the building and excluding at least one elevation level of the two-dimensional region; and
instructions executable by the processor to;
receive the two-dimensional location of the monitor device from the location determination circuit;
receive the elevation of the monitor device from the elevation determination circuit;
compare a combination of the two-dimensional location and the elevation with the textural zone data; and
indicate a zone violation where the combination of the two-dimensional location and the elevation is in violation of a zone defined within the textural zone data.
