ThingSys - TS-VB05

The TS-VB05 OBD II GPS Tracker from TS is a compact, plug-and-play GPS tracker that is Plaspy compatible for fast integration into vehicle monitoring workflows. Designed for private car owners and fleet management, the TS-VB05 delivers real-time tracking, telemetric OBD diagnostics and security functions without professional installation — simply plug into the vehicle OBDII port and begin monitoring location, fuel consumption and driving behavior through the Plaspy platform.

With 3G/4G cellular connectivity and hybrid positioning (GPS/AGPS/LBS), the TS-VB05 provides reliable real-time tracking and trip playback for anti-theft protection, fleet oversight and collateral asset management. The device exposes OBDII vehicle telemetry — enabling fuel monitoring, harsh acceleration/braking detection, and other behavior analytics — which Plaspy consumes to deliver actionable reports and alerts.

Key Highlights

• Plug-and-track OBDII installation: fast setup via the vehicle’s 16-pin OBD port, ideal for rapid deployment across fleets.
• Plaspy compatible with real-time tracking over 3G and 4G networks for reliable location updates and geo-fencing alerts.
• Built-in OBD diagnostic access for telemetry and fuel monitoring — supports fuel consumption, harsh acceleration, harsh braking and sharp turn analytics.
• Hybrid positioning (GPS/AGPS/LBS) with location accuracy ≤ 10 meters for precise route history and trip playback.
• Vehicle security features including tamper alarm and intelligent car battery monitoring for anti-theft and low-battery alerts.
• Wide operating voltage (9–35V) and compact form factor make it suitable for a wide range of vehicle types and fleet installations.
• Industrial-grade cellular module and regional band support to ensure broad coverage for fleet management across markets.

How It Works with Plaspy

When connected to Plaspy, the TS-VB05 streams GPS positions and on-demand OBD telemetry so fleet managers and private users get a unified view of vehicle location, health and driving behavior. Plaspy ingests device messages over secure channels and translates OBD data into readable telemetry, reports and configurable alerts for real-time tracking, geo-fencing, and compliance monitoring.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates: GPS/AGPS/LBS positions and timestamped OBD data appear in Plaspy dashboards and maps.
• Vehicle operating parameters via OBDII: fuel consumption, engine operating conditions and driver behavior metrics feed Plaspy analytics and driver scoring.
• Geo-fencing and trip playback: historical routes and detailed trip reports support audit, billing, and recovery efforts.
• Tamper and battery alarms: onboard tamper detection and intelligent car battery monitoring generate alerts for anti-theft and maintenance planning.
• On-demand OBD diagnostics: Plaspy can request OBD reads for diagnostics and fleet telematics without vehicle disassembly.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management: centralized real-time tracking, trip playback and OBD telemetry for route optimization and driver performance monitoring.
• Anti-theft and recovery: continuous location tracking, tamper alarms and Plaspy geo-fencing for rapid response to unauthorized movement.
• Financial collateral and loan monitoring: recorded vehicle history and location compliance for secured asset oversight.
• Fuel management optimization: OBD-based fuel consumption analytics to reduce operating costs and detect anomalies.
• Vehicle inventory and asset tracking: quick plug-and-play deployment across a large vehicle pool for easy inventory audits.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The TS-VB05 pairs practical OBDII telemetry with Plaspy’s real-time tracking and reporting capabilities to deliver a reliable solution for both single-vehicle owners and large fleets. Its plug-and-track convenience reduces deployment time and cost, while the QUECTEL EC20 cellular module and broad band support ensure data connectivity across regions. Plaspy leverages the device’s OBD diagnostics to produce actionable telemetry — fuel monitoring, driving behavior insights and health checks — helping fleets cut costs and improve safety without invasive installation.

For organizations that require scalable vehicle monitoring, the TS-VB05’s compact design, wide voltage range and tamper/battery protections make it a practical choice. Combined with Plaspy’s platform features (geo-fencing, alerts, fleet dashboards and support for additional peripherals such as ignition control, immobilizer workflows or Bluetooth sensors in broader deployments), the TS-VB05 provides the core real-time tracking and telemetry needed for modern fleet management and vehicle security.
