GPS/GLONASS Beacon

GPS/GLONASS beacon is a security and search device, operating autonomously, which is used to control various objects - cars, trucks, motorcycles, cargo, etc. Beacon, also called GPS tracker, terminal, controller, bug, determines the location of the object using satellite systems GPS and GLONASS and transmits the coordinates via cellular communication to your phone or to the monitoring system “Montrans Online”, where this information is reflected in the form of graphical reports.

Beacons can be used in private life, as well as for monitoring and effective management in business:
- protection from the actions of intruders and tracking in case of hijacking attempts. Beacon with an accuracy of up to three meters allows you to determine where the stolen vehicle is located;
- monitor the route and performance of hired and personal vehicles - trucks and cars;
- monitor working hours and routes of employees, the whereabouts of children and other family members;
- monitor the movement of cargo by attaching a beacon to the vehicle or directly to the cargo.
- monitor the location of farm animals and pets.

To work effectively, beacons consist of the following elements:
- GPS/GLONASS signal receiver. It is he who is responsible for determining the current coordinates of the vehicle;
- GSM module that transmits data from the device to the vehicle owner or fleet dispatcher;
- memory module;
- power supply. All modern controllers are equipped with compact, energy-consuming batteries for autonomous operation for a long time.

- The beacon is installed in the vehicle as inconspicuously as possible, which reduces the risk of its detection by car thieves. The better it is hidden, the less probability of its deactivation in case of theft. Some models are equipped with special anti-vandal cases - the tracker is absolutely waterproof and can work in harsh weather conditions from -35 to +80 degrees. This makes it possible to perform external installation of the controller on the car, which often saves - in a hurry car thieves do not look for it where, in their opinion, it simply can not be!
The usual order of operation of GPS-beacon: the device, saving battery charge, is in energy-saving mode, “sleeps”. “Wakes up” on a programmed schedule - from several times an hour to several times a day, determines the location, and sends information to the owner. If the beacon receives a message about theft from the owner, the frequency of sending messages about the location increases, depending on the settings.

Before buying a device you should familiarize yourself with its main functions. MONTRANS specialists recommend to pay attention to the following aspects:
- Dimensions of the controller. Here everything is simple - the smaller it is, the more difficult it is to find and deactivate.
- Sensitivity of the receiver. The higher it is, the more accurately the current location of the vehicle will be determined. The usual standard of coordinate accuracy is about 2.5 - 3 meters.
- Battery capacity. Directly affects the time of its autonomous operation.

- small size. It can be hidden in the car interior, glove compartment of a motorcycle, backpack of a child;
- does not require connection to the on-board network;
- is not detected by scanners, protects against theft;
- easy to set up and activate;
- data transmission at a certain time set in the settings;
- no subscription fee.

- connection to the vehicle's on-board network;
- real-time operation 24/7;
- solves the tasks of mileage, fuel consumption, driving style control;
- adaptive data transmission mode. Perfect track of your vehicle's movement;
- small subscription fee.

A new terminal has appeared on the market. It is suitable for tracking and monitoring any kind of transportation - vans, containers, trailers, trucks, etc. It transmits data to the server about start events, stops, movements, deviations from the planned route, device removal, fuel consumption control, etc.

The distinctive feature of this terminal is the ability to connect to it via Bluetooth any additional sensors - temperature in the refrigerator, door closing/opening sensor, motor hour sensor, tilt angle sensor and many others.

The best place to buy a GPS beacon for a car, which would meet all your requirements and work stably and properly, is in MONTRANS company - the recognized leader of telematic solutions in Russia.

Our managers will not only select a suitable model with the required functionality, but also install it on the vehicle with subsequent service.
