The Ibutton Car Alarm VT1000F is a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker engineered for vehicle security and continuous multi-country tracking. Designed around an iButton/RFID driver-identification system and five-SIM failover, the VT1000F delivers reliable real-time tracking, anti-theft protection and fleet telemetry for operators who need uninterrupted cellular coverage across borders and varied signal environments.
Built for fleet management, anti-hijack response and driver-based arming/disarming, the VT1000F integrates SOS emergency alerts, remote immobilizer (engine cut-off), mileage logging and optional camera pairing to provide rich location and event data to Plaspy. Its combination of GPRS/SMS communications, OTA firmware update capability and multi-input telemetry makes it a practical GPS tracker for transportation, logistics and security-conscious vehicle owners.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible device offering real-time tracking via GPRS/SMS (TCP/UDP) for continuous fleet visibility.
- Five-SIM automatic switching to maintain cellular connectivity across regions and international borders.
- iButton/RFID driver identification for automated arming/disarming and driver-aware security workflows.
- Built-in SOS emergency button with instant alerts by SMS/call to preset numbers for fast response.
- Remote engine cut-off (immobilizer) and ignition detection for effective anti-theft and recovery actions.
- Telemetry-ready with analog inputs for fuel and temperature sensors, mileage logging and door/ignition status monitoring.
- Optional camera support to capture photos with location and driving logs when paired with an external camera.
How It Works with Plaspy
The VT1000F integrates with Plaspy to stream location and event data into the platform for live monitoring, alerts and historical reporting. Plaspy ingests GPRS/SMS messages (TCP/UDP) from the device and maps them to vehicle records so operators see real-time vehicle position, telemetry and security events on a single dashboard.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (GPRS/SMS) delivered to Plaspy for mapping and route playback.
- Ignition on/off detection and driver iButton/RFID events reported to Plaspy to tie trips to identified drivers.
- Fuel monitoring and temperature readings via analog inputs are forwarded to Plaspy as telemetry points for analysis.
- Remote immobilizer (engine cut-off) commands can be issued from Plaspy where policy and safety rules permit.
- SOS emergency alerts (button) and alarm notifications (unauthorized movement/ignition) are sent to Plaspy and as SMS/calls to preset contacts.
- Optional camera captures (external camera) with geo-tagged photos can be uploaded alongside driving logs for incident review.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
For organizations that require robust, cross-border connectivity and driver-aware security, the VT1000F paired with Plaspy provides a reliable, scalable solution. The five-SIM switching capability reduces downtime from poor network coverage, while the U‑Blox GPS and MTK60M GSM module deliver consistent real-time tracking and location accuracy. Plaspy users gain immediate value through integrated telemetry, alarm workflows (including SOS alerts) and the ability to issue immobilizer commands where permitted.
The iButton/RFID driver identification feature simplifies fleet workflows by linking trips to drivers automatically and enabling automated arm/disarm logic to reduce false alarms. For fleet managers focused on telemetry and fuel monitoring, the analog inputs and mileage calculation provide actionable data without additional hardware complexity. OTA firmware updates and web-platform compatibility make the VT1000F easy to maintain and integrate into existing Plaspy deployments.
