The VT200 2G Waterproof GPS Tracker is a rugged, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker built for reliable real-time tracking and telemetry in demanding vehicle and asset applications. With an IP66 waterproof enclosure, multi-constellation GNSS and quad-band 2G cellular connectivity (Quectel M26), the VT200 delivers persistent location data, buffered logging in blind spots, and remote firmware management — making it an ideal choice for fleet management, anti-theft protection, and asset telemetry when integrated with the Plaspy platform.
Engineered for broad vehicle fitment (cars, motorcycles, trucks, trailers and special equipment), the VT200 combines precise positioning, comprehensive IOs and peripheral support (camera, RS232, external microphone/speaker) so Plaspy users can receive live location, event-triggered photo uploads, driver behavior alerts and remote control actions from a single, waterproof device.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible for seamless real-time tracking, geo-fencing and fleet reporting.
- IP66 waterproof design and wide 9–100V operating range for diverse vehicle installations.
- Multi-constellation GNSS (GPS/BDS/GLONASS/QZSS) with <2.5 m CEP accuracy for precise location data.
- Quad-band 2G GSM (GPRS) connectivity via Quectel M26 for global cellular coverage where 2G is available.
- On-device 128 Mbit flash buffer and dual-server IP upload to preserve and reliably deliver data through blind spots.
- Rich I/O and peripheral support (RS232, camera, external MIC/speaker, 1-Wire) for telemetry, diagnostics and event media.
- FOTA (firmware-over-the-air) and remote output control to keep devices updated and manage actuators remotely.
How It Works with Plaspy
When integrated with Plaspy, the VT200 streams location and vehicle telemetry to the Plaspy cloud for live maps, alerts and historical reports. Plaspy ingests the device’s GNSS fixes, buffered records, and event notifications so operators can monitor fleets, trigger anti-theft workflows, and review driver behavior in near real time. The VT200’s support for event-triggered photo uploads and two-way audio enriches incident context for recovery or compliance use cases.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered via GPRS to Plaspy servers.
- Ignition and digital input monitoring using configurable inputs for event-driven alerts (e.g., ignition on/off, door triggers).
- Fuel monitoring supported when paired with optional capacitive or ultrasonic fuel sensors; Plaspy displays fuel level trends and alerts.
- Remote output control to integrate immobilizer or vehicle speed limiter workflows via Plaspy-managed commands.
- Camera and two-way audio support for event-triggered photo upload and in-cab communications through Plaspy.
