The Oyster 3 is appropriate for numerous tracking applications and is simple to conceal thanks to its tiny size and extended battery life. The Oyster determines its location through GNSS scanning and cell tower data. Three lithium AA user-replaceable batteries have a deploy-once battery life of more than 10 years. Recommended: Batteries not included: Lithium L92 AA (alkaline batteries may be used for short-term deployments). Solving locations over the cloud rather than on a device can save a lot of electricity. It uses cellular LTE-M networks for communication. No roaming charges and extensive coverage in the USA, Canada, and many other nations. The tracking platform and/or software allow for the tracking of many devices. Push Alerts sent via the app and/or email, such as those for entering or exiting Geo-Fences, movement, outside of normal business hours, low battery, etc. Strong IP67 rated case.

When not on a trip, tracking parameters need daily reporting. Location updates are made at the beginning of the trip, every two minutes while travelling, every thirty minutes while travelling, and at the conclusion of the trip. Annual subscription cost: $120 Canadian. There are no contracts to sign, and cancellation is easy. It has Recovery Mode for tracking down missing property. Recovery Mode significantly boosts reporting at the expense of battery life when trying to locate a stolen asset as soon as possible. Once the device wakes up and starts communicating with the network, recovery mode is initiated by the user. For instance, the following once daily upload or the following trip of the device. If the device is not in cell coverage, it stores weeks’ worth of data.

HOW IT WORKS

The mobile app decodes your pet’s GPS information and plots their whereabouts on a map. Instead of using an app, radio trackers rely on a handheld transceiver to get the pet’s GPS coordinates. The transmitter on the pet’s collar receives requests from the transceiver asking for the pet’s location.

DATA EXPORTS/REPORTS

SMARTS

• AUTO-APN: Auto-APN allows the device to analyze the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware.
• GEOFENCING ALERT: The server can use device location to create geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves designated locations
• GEOFENCE DOWNLOAD TO DEVICE: Geofences can be downloaded directly to the device from Telematics Guru for enhanced location-based actions and alerts. Maximum of 500 Geofences with up to 100 points per geofence.
• IMPACT DETECTION: Configure impact-detection alerts when G-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold
• INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT: Early registration abort saves power when out of cellular coverage
• PERIODIC OR MOVEMENT-BASED TRACKING: Configure parameters to send updates based on set time intervals or when movement occurs. Adaptive tracking technology detects when the device is on the move and increases the update rate. Providing detail when you need it while conserving battery when stationary.

FAQs

How much data would my GPS tracker require?

Depending on the model and configuration, a GPS tracker can require anywhere between 1 and 10 MB of data traffic every month.

Can trackers be used offline?

Yes, you may use GPS tracking without an internet connection as long as your phone has offline maps.

How precise are pet trackers?

Only about 30 feet (10 meters) away from you can use a Bluetooth tracker to keep tabs on your pet. It is quite likely that a pet will go outside of a Bluetooth tracker’s range if it has escaped or been stolen.

What is the range of tracking devices?

GPS trackers have an ongoing connection and are always able to deliver the most recent location information. Because Bluetooth trackers rely on a strong Bluetooth signal between the finder and your mobile device, their maximum range is 200–300 feet.

What three categories of tracking devices exist?

Three basic categories of vehicle monitoring technology exist: competently installed (hard-wired) Self-installed (plug-and-play) (plug-and-play) Mobile software.

Do trackers experience battery issues?

Your GPS Tracker’s battery life will range from 7 days to 3 months between charges, depending on how you use it. This is to be contrasted with competitor products’ battery life, which only lasts two to three days and greatly reduces peace of mind.

What can disable a tracking mechanism?

It’s true that obstructions to GPS signals include damp trees, aluminum foil, plastic containers, and even a tin box loaded with dense things.

How does GPS function if there is no service?

Definitely, all radios that can emit a signal are turned off when in aeroplane mode. Because GPS can only broadcast signals when it receives them, it may still be on in some phones.

GPS has a shelf life.

The average service life of wireless GPS trackers, which are produced by numerous manufacturers, is three years because they take into account industry needs.

What kind of data does GPS use?

The standard for location data is the latitude/longitude coordinates produced by the GPS. Your gadget gets signals from the satellites, and by timing the signal’s arrival, it can determine its location.

Is Bluetooth required for GPS?

Even while GPS gadgets don’t need Bluetooth to function, they can be useful for drivers who want to stay hands-free while still making and receiving calls. Using a Bluetooth® connection might make it easier to place and answer calls.

The use of GPS trackers in rural areas

Globally, “pure satellite” trackers are the best option for keeping an eye on mobile or fixed corporate assets. These adaptable satellite tracking gadgets function in remote places because cellular coverage is not necessary to report location.

How much battery life does a GPS tracker have?

The GPS tracker’s battery life varies from one to the next. However, a GPS gadget may often function without active monitoring for 6–12 months.

Does GPS tracking require batteries?

Plug and Play GPS trackers are powered by your car’s electrical system, just like hardwired systems, so they don’t need batteries either.

How long does it take a GPS tracker to charge?

A low tracker battery will require about two hours to fully recharge. When the battery is fully charged, the “Power” light on the charger changes from red to green. When the tracker is plugged into the charger and unplugged, it vibrates.
