VT100 Vehicle GPS Tracker
The VT100 is a compact 2G GSM GPS tracker designed for professional vehicle monitoring and Plaspy compatible deployments. Built for reliable real-time tracking and robust anti-theft protection, the VT100 continuously reports vehicle location and status to tracking platforms over cellular networks. Its wide input voltage and IP66-rated enclosure make it suitable for a broad range of vehicles and operating environments.
Optimized for fleet management, public transport supervision, taxi operations and private car anti-theft use, the VT100 provides a broad telematics feature set — from precise GNSS positioning (GPS + BEIDOU) and built-in motion detection to remote engine/power cut-off and fuel monitoring when paired with optional sensors. As a Plaspy compatible tracker, VT100 integrates smoothly into real-time tracking dashboards, alerts and reporting workflows used by dispatch and operations teams.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for real-time tracking and fleet dashboards.
- High-precision GNSS (GPS + BEIDOU) with tracking sensitivity down to -165 dBm and CEP <2.5 m.
- Quad-band 2G GSM connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) with dual-server upload and configurable SMS/GPRS commands.
- Rugged IP66 enclosure and wide DC 9–100V input to support harsh environments and all vehicle types.
- Integrated 3D accelerometer for collision/vibration detection and driver behavior monitoring (harsh acceleration/braking, harsh turning, speeding, fatigue).
- SOS alarm, listen-in (microphone) support and remote engine/power cut-off for anti-theft and immobilizer control.
- Built-in flash memory (16 Mbit) for offline logging in signal blind areas with automatic forward when connectivity is restored.
- Supports advanced management features such as FOTA (firmware over-the-air) for remote updates.
How It Works with Plaspy
When integrated with Plaspy, the VT100 becomes a data source for real-time location, telemetry and event-driven alerts. The device streams GNSS coordinates, motion and status events over GSM to Plaspy servers, where data is normalized into live maps, route histories, geofence notifications and fleet reports. Plaspy-compatible integration ensures dispatchers and operations teams receive consistent, low-latency updates that support decision-making and security workflows.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates forwarded to Plaspy via GPRS/SMS.
- Ignition/ACC detection and remote engine/power cut-off (immobilizer) events usable for theft response and fleet control.
- Event reporting for SOS/panic, collision/vibration and driver behavior, enabling automated alerts in Plaspy.
- Fuel monitoring and fuel theft/low fuel alarms when paired with optional capacitive or ultrasonic sensors; Plaspy ingests fuel telemetry for consumption reports.
- Bluetooth sensors: VT100 description does not specify onboard Bluetooth. The Plaspy ecosystem supports BLE sensors for expanded telemetry if a compatible gateway or BLE-capable device is used alongside VT100.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The VT100 pairs professional-grade hardware with Plaspy’s platform capabilities to deliver reliable, actionable vehicle telemetry. Its compact, rugged design, broad voltage range (DC 9–100V) and IP66 rating mean fewer installation constraints and lower field failures. Built-in offline storage preserves trip history through network outages, while FOTA and remote configuration reduce maintenance overhead. For fleet managers and security teams who need consistent real-time tracking, anti-theft controls (ignition/immobilizer actions), fuel monitoring support and detailed driver behavior data, the VT100 offers a balanced, Plaspy compatible solution that emphasizes uptime, scalability and straightforward integration into existing dispatch and reporting workflows.
