Reachfar - RF-V8S

The ReachFar RF-V8S is a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed for discreet, reliable real-time tracking and emergency communication. This ultra-compact, screen-free unit combines a SiRF Star IV GPS chipset with AGPS assistance and quad-band GSM connectivity to deliver accurate positioning, long standby life, and practical anti-theft and personal-safety features that integrate seamlessly with Plaspy platforms and standard SMS workflows.

The RF-V8S is purpose-built for situations that demand stealth and endurance: vehicle anti-theft, personal protection for children or the elderly, and asset monitoring in warehouses or transit. Its small form factor and focused feature set — SOS calling, vibration and sound sensors, geo-fencing and remote listen-in — make it an efficient GPS tracker for both ad-hoc monitoring and continuous reporting through Plaspy-compatible dashboards and mobile apps.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible for fast integration into your real-time tracking and alerting workflows.
• Accurate location fixes with SiRF Star IV GPS and AGPS assist — typically 5–15 meters under open sky.
• Ultra-compact, lightweight design (40 × 34 × 14 mm, ~24 g) for discreet concealment in vehicles or on a person.
• Long battery standby — high-capacity internal battery provides up to about 12 days under typical conditions.
• Comprehensive SOS and anti-theft features: one-key silent SOS, auto-dial to up to 5 numbers, vibration and sound sensors, geo-fence alarms.
• Multiple alert paths: SMS-based commands, web platform (ReachFar / gps123.org) and mobile app (TrackAnywhere) for flexible monitoring.
• Low-power design with simple package contents for quick deployment: lanyard, wall charger, USB cable and user manual included.

How It Works with Plaspy

When connected to Plaspy, the RF-V8S streams location and alarm information using its cellular link and standard platform protocols. Plaspy-compatible integration enables the tracker to appear on maps in real time, trigger notifications, and deliver event histories for review. The device supports SMS control and cloud-based reporting, so you can choose SMS commands, the ReachFar web portal, or the TrackAnywhere mobile app as your primary interface while Plaspy aggregates and presents data alongside other compatible devices.

• Real-time location updates and position history visible in Plaspy dashboards and apps.
• SOS alerting and rapid auto-dial/SMS notifications to preset contacts for emergency response.
• Vibration and sound alarms for immediate anti-theft and impact notifications.
• Geo-fence alerts, SIM-change, low-battery and power-off alerts sent to Plaspy and via SMS.
• Remote listen-in (voice monitoring) functions accessible through platform call features and SMS commands.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Vehicle anti-theft: discreet placement for continuous location tracking and immediate vibration/impact alarms to stop theft in progress.
• Personal emergency protection: SOS button, silent auto-dial and remote listen-in for children, seniors, or lone workers.
• Asset protection: monitor valuables, luggage or warehouse items using geo-fence and displacement alerts to detect unauthorized movement.
• Short-term covert monitoring: small form factor and no display make RF-V8S suitable for situations where stealth and low power draw matter.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

Choosing the ReachFar RF-V8S as a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker delivers a straightforward, reliable way to add discreet tracking and emergency communications to your monitoring mix. Its focused feature set — accurate GPS positioning, long standby, vibration/sound alarms and a robust SOS workflow — maps directly to common Plaspy scenarios where instant alerts and clear location data are essential. Because the RF-V8S supports both SMS control and cloud/mobile platform access, integration with Plaspy is fast and flexible: deploy a small fleet of units for asset-level monitoring or add personal trackers to a broader fleet management deployment.

Note on telemetry and extended vehicle data: the RF-V8S emphasizes location, alarms and voice monitoring rather than vehicle telemetry sensors. Plaspy itself supports telemetry, fuel monitoring, ignition status and immobilizer controls for devices that provide those inputs; if such telemetry is required in addition to the RF-V8S’s alarm and SOS capabilities, Plaspy can combine data from RF-V8S units with other compatible devices that provide fuel, ignition or immobilizer signals and Bluetooth sensors for comprehensive fleet management.
