The VT600 GPS tracker is a compact, Plaspy compatible device engineered for reliable real-time tracking and fleet management. Designed for vehicle owners and fleet operators, the VT600 combines a high-sensitivity SIRF-Star IV GNSS receiver with GSM/GPRS data uplink to deliver accurate location, event telemetry, and smart alarms to mobile phones, web platforms, or apps via the Plaspy platform.
Compact and rugged, the VT600 supports continuous vehicle monitoring, anti-theft workflows and remote control functions such as cut-off for fuel or power. With internal flash memory to buffer coordinates during temporary network outages and multiple I/O interfaces for sensors and immobilization control, the VT600 integrates cleanly into Plaspy-based fleet management solutions for improved security and operational visibility.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for real-time tracking and fleet management via SMS, app and web reporting.
- Accurate positioning with SIRF‑Star IV chipset (approx. 10 m, 2D RMS) for dependable vehicle location.
- GSM/GPRS connectivity with 4MB internal flash memory to store coordinates when GPRS is unavailable.
- Security and anti-theft features including remote cut-off to disable fuel/power and optional anti-jammer protection.
- Smart alarms: movement, low battery, GPS blind area, power-cut, GPS antenna disconnect, geo-fencing and SOS emergency button.
- Multiple I/O interfaces plus a 1-wire option for temperature sensors or iButton—flexible telemetry and control integration.
- Robust power and environmental specs: wide 10.6–36V input range, 500mAh backup battery, and wide operating temperature range.
How It Works with Plaspy
The VT600 sends periodic and event-driven GPS and status data to Plaspy using GSM/GPRS or SMS. Plaspy ingests location points, input/output events and alarm triggers from the device and presents them as live location markers, timeline events, and customizable alerts for operators. Because VT600 buffers coordinates in internal flash when the cellular link is down, Plaspy receives complete track history once connectivity is restored.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates using GPS + GPRS for continuous fleet visibility.
- Alarm and status reporting: movement, power-cut, GPS antenna disconnect, GPS blind area, geo-fence events and SOS button alerts.
- Fuel monitoring support when connected to optional capacitive or ultrasonic fuel sensors—Plaspy correlates sensor telemetry with vehicle location for consumption reports.
- Remote immobilization and cut-off: use Plaspy to issue secure remote cut-off commands to disable fuel or power.
- Sensor integration: VT600 exposes digital, analog and 1-wire interfaces for Plaspy to ingest external sensor data and present consolidated telemetry (Plaspy can also aggregate separate Bluetooth sensor streams at the platform level if deployed in a combined solution).
