A GPS tracker is a small microcomputer that determines its location using a satellite navigation system, calculates movement speed, synchronizes precise time, checks connected sensors, and transmits information to a server database via GSM operator channels. To access various reports, a dispatcher needs to connect to the server using a computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone.
How Online GPS Trackers Work
If you don't want to chase your vehicle to retrieve a GPS tracker, you need an online GPS tracker. It features a GSM module that constantly communicates with the server, transmitting all collected data. Data transmission relies on the GSM operator's network, and SIM cards are installed in the tracker. If there is no network coverage, the GPS tracker accumulates data in its non-volatile memory. Once network connectivity is restored, all information is automatically transmitted to the server.
Convenient Data Access Options
-
Desktop software: for installation on a computer or laptop running Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8).
-
Web interface: access the GPS system directly through our website without needing to install any software.
-
Mobile applications: for mobile users, we recommend installing dedicated apps for Android or iOS.
Expanding Capabilities: Additional Sensors
Depending on the tracker model, you can connect additional sensors. For instance, if a GPS terminal is connected to a fuel sensor, the dispatcher's computer will display not only information about the vehicle's movement but also comprehensive data on fuel consumption.
