Personal trackers are small-size remote positioning devices with built-in GPS/GSM modules. The current coordinates (latitude and longitude) are sent over GPRS into the Internet to our web site. You can use our web site, www.vi-tel.ru to see the location on the map or call our operators and ask the address the object is located at.
Things to keep in mind while selecting your tracker:
- Two-way voice communication to let you make tracker-to-tracker calls.
- Transmission mode (SMS/GPRS). GPRS considerably cuts down on cellular communication expenses and increases functionality, but the device itself is more expensive.
- The emergency button is very important if the tracker is to be used for security purposes.
- Working time. This parameter directly depends on the data transmission mode.
- Transmission mode: by short message request, by time, by distance.
- Working temperature. If the tracker is to be used outdoors in winter (e.g. carried in a bag), a tracker with low working temperatures should be selected; but if it is to be mounted on a car dashboard, the above-zero temperature should be not lower than 70 degrees.
A car tracker is a remote positioning device with built-in GPS/GSM modules. It works on the same principle as does the personal tracker but has some advantages over the latter, allowing you to plug in sensors and photo cameras. The device is specifically designed to be mounted in the vehicle, so it has larger dimensions. The unit is powered from the on-board power system but may have an independent power supply in the event the vehicle was powered down. Unlike the personal tracker, this device sends and receives the signal using an external GSM/GPS antenna to ensure more precise positioning and transmission of them to the server.
When selecting your car tracker, you might want to consider the following:
- GPS/GSM antenna type. If you are planning to mount the unit in a place with no obstacles for the radio waves (open-top or plastic-top vehicles, dashboard), a unit with a built-in antenna will do. If there is a metal structure on the way of the radio waves to the unit, it is important that the GPS antenna be external. If your vehicles are to travel between cities, you might need a tracker with an external GSM antenna to ensure work in weak GSM coverage areas.
- Voice communication – talk with the driver. If you have an external antenna, you will have a lot more chances to reach your driver (the external antenna improves the signal receipt and allows you to see whether or not the driver is within the coverage area at all times).
- Number of analog/digital inputs. This parameter indicates how many and what kind of devices may be connected to the tracker (sensors, photo cameras).
- Working time. This parameter shows the time of standalone work if the permanent power supply is turned off.
- Working temperatures. If you plan to leave the vehicle outdoors during the winter, the minimum working temperature should be not less than 30 degrees below zero.
- Voltage. This parameter shows the working voltage of the tracker. Usually the voltage of the car power system is 12V, but it is 24V in freighters.
Magic System MS-PGSM2
- Car tracker with photo camera inputs .
The MS-PGSM2 car pager is unique: if you set it up with a simple car alarm system, you will have a total GSM car alarm with the possibility of monitoring (positioning) and control of the car over the Internet and from your mobile phone.
- Request-based and event-based car positioning.
- Inputs of up to 8 cameras with view of photos on the web site.
- Positioning on the ground map on the web site.
- Notification by phone call to the designated number about all the actuations of the car alarm system.
- Up to 5 numbers for subscribers receiving condition notifications.
- Engine start and blocking via the Internet or phone.
- System customization.
- Operation as a standalone security system or combined with a different security system (optimally with a STALKER LAN system).
- MS-PGSM has 3 inputs and 2 controllable outputs, RS-485 interface, GPS receiver input, “Security On/Off” input.
Autograph GSM
- Car tracker with external GSM/GPS antennae .
A perfect tool for vehicle surveillance will show you real-time location, trip route, trip start and end time, duration of stops, travel speed, mileage, fuel consumption (by mileage).
This is a small-size electronic recorder to track all movements of the vehicle by stamping the time and the route as points with geographical coordinates. They are calculated based on the data received from Navstar (GPS) satellites. The data is then sent over the GSM network to a server from which they can be requested for further analysis. The device is also fitted with a two-way communication unit to make phone calls to the driver's handset (not included in the set).
The device records the following time-stamped events:
- Power shutoff;
- Sensor status. The alarm button function that can be assigned to any of the inputs.
- No signal periods (voluntary or due to stay in hangars, tunnels and other constructions); status of device analog inputs.
Granit Navigator 46
- Car tracker with built-in GSM/GPS antennae
Provides real-time control over vehicle use.
The unit is mounted in concealed or hard-to-get-at places (under the dashboard or plastic parts of the compartment) and powered from the 10-30V on-board power system. The unit comprises a GPS receiver, a GSM/GPRS modem, permanent memory and a rechargeable battery for a standalone power supply, four analog-digital inputs for control sensors, a built-in microphone and an external loudspeaker for the two-way communication.
