LCV5 GPS Tracker

The LCV5 is a purpose-built GPS tracker for cars and light commercial vehicles, designed to deliver reliable real-time tracking and rich telematics for fleet management. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the LCV5 brings CAN/OBD data reading, driver identification and fuel monitoring to enterprise and private fleets that require accurate location, vehicle telemetry and actionable insights.

The device supports both GSM (2G) and LTE Cat M1 connectivity and is available in hardware variants that include Bluetooth Low Energy for sensor connectivity. Its extensive I/O and communication interfaces make the LCV5 a flexible telematics platform for anti-theft, vehicle access control, driver behaviour monitoring and fuel control workflows — all fully integrable with Plaspy for centralized monitoring, alerts and reporting.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker delivering real-time tracking and telematics for efficient fleet management.
• Reads vehicle CAN bus and manufacturer-specific OBD parameters for deep telemetry and driver behaviour analysis.
• Dual cellular support: GSM (2G) and LTE Cat M1 options to suit global deployments and low-power IoT networks.
• Extensive I/O: 3x CAN, 2x RS232, RS485, multiple analog/digital inputs and outputs for integration with ignition, immobilizer circuits and external sensors.
• Fuel monitoring and fuel level sender integration to support fuel management and consumption reporting.
• Driver identification and safety features enable car sharing, access control and driver behaviour programs.
• Built-in battery backup, accelerometer and jamming detection improve anti-theft capabilities and event detection.
• Variants include BLE-enabled model for Bluetooth sensors and beacons to extend telemetry (LCV-LTM-GL-BT).

How It Works with Plaspy

When paired with Plaspy, the LCV5 streams location and vehicle telemetry to your Plaspy instance over cellular networks. Plaspy ingests the device’s GPS positions, CAN/OBD parameters, input/output events and fuel readings to deliver live tracking, route playback, and telemetry-based alerts. The LCV5’s configurable I/O and communication ports allow Plaspy to monitor ignition state, driver ID events and additional sensors for complete situational awareness.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates: GPS positions plus CAN/OBD data for speed, engine metrics and diagnostics.
• Ignition and door/status monitoring via digital inputs for event-triggered alerts and immobilization workflows when integrated with outputs.
• Fuel monitoring: analog inputs and fuel level sender integration to report fuel levels and support consumption analytics.
• Remote commands and configuration: the unit supports SMS remote commands and can be managed remotely via Ruptela’s device management tools to simplify Plaspy deployment.
• Bluetooth sensors/beacons (BLE model): add temperature, cargo, or proximity sensors to extend telemetry into Plaspy dashboards.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet anti-theft and immobilization workflows—monitor location, detect tampering and integrate outputs for access control or engine cut-off when required.
• Fuel management and control—track fuel level via senders and use consumption telemetry to reduce waste and unauthorized refuelling.
• Driver behaviour analysis—collect CAN/OBD and accelerometer data to monitor harsh braking, speeding and promote safer driving.
• Car sharing and access control—driver identification and I/O integration enable secure user identification and vehicle access logging.
• Sensorized cargo monitoring—use the BLE variant to attach temperature or motion sensors and stream telemetry to Plaspy for compliance and safety.
