Movement and ignition detection:
- Vehicle movement will be detected by an accelerometer.
- Ignition will be detected by vehicle power voltage between 9 – 36 V.
The device will send an alert notification to the server if one of these events happens:
- The vehicle keeps moving at speeds above the threshold for a preset duration.
- The driver steps on the brake or gas pedal hard, and corners rapidly.
- The device is plugged or unplugged from the OBDII connector.
Introduction
4.1. Features
- Communication via 4G LTE networks with 2G GSM fallback. Two complementary positioning systems ensure the locations are accurately displayed on a cloud platform.
- Obtains real data about the vehicle (accurate mileage, fault code, ACC status, fuel consumption statistics, battery voltage, engine speed, etc.)
- Two complementary positioning systems ensure the locations are accurately displayed on a cloud platform.
- Get instant alerts for 4 or 8 kinds of dangerous driving behavior, depending on your needs.
- Instant alerts for atypical events such as car faults, collisions, Overspeed, device pull-out, engine idling, low battery, geo-fence entry/exit, etc.
- Through Bluetooth connection, you can configure parameters, upgrade software, and debug.
- Ensures constant tracking in the area with poor GPS signal or even without it.
- Simply plug this device into the 08D II socket, you don’t have to turn to professionals.
