How It Works with Factory IL GPS
When paired with Factory IL GPS, the TK208 streams location and event data to your Factory IL GPS account using GSM/GPRS connectivity. Factory IL GPS ingests the device’s GNSS positions, movement alerts and status messages to provide live maps, geofence enforcement, and historical route analysis. Integration is straightforward for users who need reliable real-time tracking, timestamped telemetry, and alert-driven workflows.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates: GNSS positions and LBS/Wi‑Fi fallbacks feed Factory IL GPS maps and dashboards.
- Movement and anti-theft alerts: vibration-triggered notifications and move alerts appear in Factory IL GPS as instant events.
- Geo-fence enforcement: exit/entry events are generated by the TK208 and logged in Factory IL GPS for audit and alerting.
- SOS and emergency calling: SOS presses create high-priority alerts visible in Factory IL GPS and sent via SMS/app.
- Historical routes: up to six months of server-stored tracks available for playback and reporting in Factory IL GPS.

Why Choose This Tracker with Factory IL GPS
The TK208 offers a practical balance of endurance, proven GNSS performance and robust alerts that integrate cleanly with Factory IL GPS’s real-time tracking and reporting platform. For organizations and families seeking dependable location awareness without heavy hardware complexity, TK208 brings high-sensitivity satellite positioning, multi-mode fallback (LBS/Wi‑Fi/BD/GLONASS) and long battery life — all useful for telemetry, anti-theft workflows and basic fleet management.
While the TK208 focuses on portable, long-endurance tracking rather than vehicle-specific I/O (ignition or immobilizer) and advanced sensor interfaces, its strengths make it a reliable choice when Factory IL GPS customers need accurate real-time tracking, event-driven alerts, and access to six months of route history for audits and operational insight.
