GPS Real Time Tracking Systems
On its most basic, a GPS tracking system uses Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the location of a vehicle, person or pet. It records the position at regular intervals in order to develop a track file or log of activities. Then, the recorded data can be stored within the tracking unit, or it may be relayed to a GPS central station or internet-connected PC. However, to transmit data in these systems, a cellular modem, a two-way radio or a satellite is needed. These connections are what allowed the data to be reported in real time with the use of customized software or web browser based tools.
Speaking of real time, there is a number of GPS real time tracking systems today. These GPS real time tracking systems are known to transmit the location positions and other additional information, like speed and heading of a vehicle, direct to the user. As I’ve said earlier, there is a lot of different GPS real time tracking systems available, but their availability highly depends on the country, GPS provider and other related factors.
Now, if you want to know a few of the most well-known GPS real time tracking systems available, I have mentioned below a few sample devices. Consider them for one of them might be the ideal solution for you.
ProTrak Digital GPS
ProTrack Digital GPS is in the first place a GPS real time tracking system designed for vehicles. Since it uses GPS, the satellites signals are then continuously broadcast from an orbit of 20,000 mile and this device receives those signals to calculate its location.
This GPS real time tracking system is consists of a GPS receiver and cellular modem which is fastened to the target. The system can be accessed from a host PC with a dial up modem using a host software package developed by ProTrack itself. With this GPS real time tracking system, the vehicle will be displayed on a digital map of your area showing movement as it occurs. Experts claimed that this device is perfect for investigators, executive protection and fleet management.
GeoTrax GPS
GeoTrax GPS is but a newly-developed system intended for asset tracking and geofencing. According to its proponents, this GPS real time tracking system can be installed on any asset in matter of minutes using an adhesive attachment, mounting screws, magnet mounting kit or simply drop it in a briefcase. Like any other GPS real time tracking systems, GeoTrax GPS gather information in real time. This information, along with the geofencing and status are provided from four optional alarm inputs. The transmissions can then be triggered by alarm events, or on a regular interval schedule.
AXTracker
AXTracker is a battery operated and ready to go GPS real time tracking system designed to communicate with the GlobalStar Simplex Data Service. As many have claimed, this system provides cost-efficient and reliable asset tracking as well as fleet management. This system can be installed in minutes and is field configurable to provide a rich feature set. Aside from location reporting, the AXTracker GPS real time tracking system has four customizable alarms which can report conditions like temperature drop/rise, moisture increase/decrease, smoke, door open, and others.
