iStartek - VT150

The VT150 from a proven device family is a compact, rugged 2G GPS tracker designed for reliable vehicle monitoring and Plaspy compatible integration. Built for continuous real-time tracking, the VT150 reports high-precision GNSS position and vehicle telemetry over the 2G GSM network to tracking platforms like Plaspy for fleet management, anti-theft protection, and dispatch optimization.

Engineered for commercial fleets, taxis, school buses, rental vehicles and private anti-theft installations, the VT150 combines a small form factor and IP66 protection with a broad alarm set, remote control functions and on-device logging. When paired with Plaspy, the VT150 becomes a turnkey asset for telemetry-driven workflows such as fuel monitoring, ignition state reporting and remote immobilization.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible 2G GPS tracker for dependable real-time tracking and fleet management.
• Dual-mode positioning (GNSS + GSM base station) for improved location reliability in urban and marginal-signal areas.
• Extensive alarm suite: geo-fence, speeding, low battery, GPS loss, door/engine change, harsh driving, impact and towing vibration alarms.
• Remote control features including ACC on/off interval upload and remote fuel/electricity cut-off for immobilizer-style security.
• Onboard 16 Mbit flash storage and FOTA support for offline logging and remote firmware upgrades.
• Rugged IP66 enclosure, compact size and lightweight design for simple installation in vehicles.
• Optional wired accessories supported (fuel sensors, buzzers, load sensors) to extend fuel monitoring and telemetry capabilities.

How It Works with Plaspy

Connecting a VT150 to Plaspy is straightforward: the device sends periodic or event-driven location and telemetry to Plaspy over the 2G network where data is visualized, analyzed and used to trigger alerts or automation. Plaspy ingests the VT150’s position fixes, alarm events and telemetry so fleet managers and dispatchers can monitor assets in real time, review historical tracks, and act on security events like unauthorized movement or fuel theft.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates via 2G GSM for continuous tracking and route playback.
• Ignition (ACC) status reporting and configurable ACC on/off interval upload for engine/ignition monitoring.
• Rich alarm event reporting: geo-fence, speeding, GPS signal loss, low fuel, fuel theft, impact, harsh driving, vibration (towing) and door/engine status changes.
• Remote immobilizer-style control through remote fuel/electricity cut-off (requires compatible accessories and configuration).
• Plaspy supports Bluetooth sensors in its ecosystem; the VT150 extends Plaspy with optional wired sensors (fuel/load sensors, buzzers) to deliver comprehensive telemetry when Bluetooth peripherals are not used.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management and dispatch: continuous location, mileage reporting and configurable track-by-time or track-by-distance for route optimization.
• Anti-theft and immobilization: remote fuel/electricity cut-off and movement alarms reduce theft risk and support rapid response.
• Taxi and ride-hail operations: ignition and door status monitoring, trip playback and driver behavior alarms (harsh braking/acceleration/turning).
• School bus and public transport safety: geo-fence alerts, route adherence monitoring and vibration/impact detection for incident reporting.
• Lease, rental and insurance tracking: accurate mileage, idle/fatigue detection and fuel-related alarms for compliance and claims telemetry.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

When paired with Plaspy, the VT150 delivers a practical balance of durability, proven 2G connectivity and a broad telemetry and alarm set suited to commercial fleets and anti-theft deployments. Its support for configurable reporting intervals, dual-mode GNSS/GSM positioning and 16 Mbit local logging ensures continuous tracking where reliable real-time monitoring matters. FOTA capability and dual-server support simplify remote management and ensure long-term operability.

For operators focused on actionable vehicle telemetry—fuel monitoring, ignition/engine status, harsh driving detection and remote immobilizer functions—the VT150 provides the core hardware features needed to integrate smoothly with Plaspy’s dashboards, alerts and reporting. The unit’s compact IP66 enclosure and optional wired sensors (fuel/load sensors, buzzers) make installation fast while enabling advanced fleet workflows without adding unnecessary complexity.
