The CCTR-830G-4G is a compact OBD II GPS tracker designed for plug-and-play vehicle tracking and diagnostics. Engineered for quick installation and fast positioning, this Plaspy compatible tracker combines dual-mode GPS + BeiDou GNSS with A-GPS assistance to deliver dependable location fixes for single vehicles and fleet management deployments.
Built for telemetry, anti-theft monitoring and basic diagnostics, the CCTR-830G-4G connects directly to the vehicle OBD II port to access power, CAN bus data and DTC (diagnostic trouble code) information without additional wiring. With built-in backup battery protection and remote firmware/protocol management, it integrates smoothly into Plaspy for real-time tracking, configurable alerts and historical reporting.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible plug-and-play OBD II form factor for fast installation and centralized fleet management.
- Dual GNSS (GPS + BeiDou) with A-GPS assistance for faster time-to-first-fix and reliable positioning.
- Customizable 2G/3G/4G LTE frequency band options to match regional cellular requirements.
- On-device DTC reading and CAN bus integration for vehicle diagnostics and telemetry via Plaspy.
- 100 mAh rechargeable backup battery for tamper and power-down alarms when vehicle power is removed.
- Configurable upload intervals (default 30 seconds) and offline track history storage when GSM is unavailable.
- OTA firmware upgrades and protocol customization to simplify large-scale deployments and platform integration.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the CCTR-830G-4G delivers continuous telemetry and actionable alerts to a single pane of glass. The unit streams location and CAN-derived vehicle data over GPRS/LTE using an open protocol, and Plaspy ingests that feed for real-time tracking, geofencing, alerts and reporting. Administrators can adjust upload intervals, set alert rules and review historical tracks from the Plaspy web or mobile apps.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates: GNSS position and CAN-derived status are uploaded on configurable intervals for live tracking.
- DTC and vehicle status queries: read diagnostic trouble codes and vehicle state via SMS or view them in Plaspy.
- Power-down/tamper alerts: built-in battery issues trigger alarms if vehicle power is removed.
- CAN bus control where supported: functions such as door lock/unlock may be performed via CAN integration when adapted to specific vehicles.
- Offline storage and resume: internal memory stores track history when GSM service is unavailable and resumes upload once the network is restored.
