- Vibration alarm, geo-fence alerts and historical route playback for anti-theft and compliance reporting.
How It Works with Plaspy
The RF-V03-OBD sends location and vehicle telemetry to Plaspy using its cellular connection and OBDII interface. Once plugged into the vehicle, the tracker reports GPS positions, ignition status (ACC), vibration and geo-fence events and stores records locally when connectivity is lost. Plaspy receives these feeds for live mapping, alerts and historical playback, making it straightforward to add this GPS tracker to an existing fleet management workflow.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live tracking and route visualization.
- Ignition/engine (ACC) status reporting for driver behavior and engine-on/off event logging.
- Basic vehicle diagnostics via the OBD interface—can include fuel-related diagnostics where supported by the vehicle and OBD PIDs.
- Voice monitoring (GSM & LTE CAT4 variants) available for security or safety use cases; check your Plaspy plan for voice support options.
- Geo-fence, vibration alarm and history route playback integrated into Plaspy alerts and reports; dead-zone data syncs when connection resumes.
