RX-8W Waterproof Vehicle Tracker
The RX-8W Waterproof Vehicle Tracker is a rugged, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker engineered for reliable vehicle and asset monitoring in harsh environments. Housed in an IP67-rated, heatproof enclosure (tested up to 85 °C), the RX-8W combines u‑blox GNSS and GSM modules with built-in antennas and intelligent power management to deliver accurate, low-cost real-time tracking for fleet management, vehicle recovery, construction and agricultural machinery, caravans, and temperature‑controlled logistics.
The RX-8W is designed for simple installation and long-term field use. With wide input voltage tolerance (6–36 Vdc), surge protection to 65 V, an optional up to 3450 mAh backup battery, and storage for up to 50,000 location records, this GPS tracker gives fleet operators and asset managers dependable telemetry, configurable tracking modes, and anti‑theft capabilities that integrate directly with Plaspy for immediate situational awareness and easy operational scaling.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker with u‑blox GNSS and GSM modules for fast, accurate position fixes and cell‑based fallback.

- Efficient power design: wide input (6–36 Vdc), 65 V surge protection, motion/ignition activation, and optional backup battery (up to 3450 mAh).
- Built-in digital temperature sensor and support for external temperature probes—ideal for temperature‑controlled logistics.
- Advanced telemetry: configurable intelligent tracking (time, distance, angle), 3‑axis G‑force sensor, driver ID via I‑Button, and immobilizer output.
- Large local storage (up to 50,000 records) and OTA firmware/configuration updates for remote management and minimal downtime.
- Purpose‑built for fleet management, anti‑theft recovery, PAYD insurance monitoring, and heavy machinery tracking.
How It Works with Plaspy
The RX-8W streams essential location and telemetry data to Plaspy in real time, enabling live map views, historical playback, alerts, and reports. Plaspy ingests GNSS fixes, cell‑based positions when GPS is weak, and on‑vehicle telemetry to provide actionable insights for fleet managers and security teams. Configuration options let you tailor reporting intervals and alert thresholds to match operational needs and data budgets.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live tracking and historical route playback.
- Ignition and motion detection for automatic trip start/stop and idle tracking policies.
- Immobilizer output and I‑Button driver ID support for anti‑theft workflows and driver attribution.
- Built‑in temperature sensing plus support for external digital temperature probes for refrigerated transport monitoring.
- OTA firmware and configuration updates to keep devices secure and compatible with Plaspy features over time.
