iStartek - VT800-L

The VT800-L from iStartek is a professional 4G CAT4 GPS tracker engineered for demanding fleet management and vehicle anti-theft deployments. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the VT800-L supplies reliable real-time tracking and rich telemetry so operators can monitor vehicle position, status and driving behavior across mixed-network environments.

Designed for trucks, buses, taxis, rental fleets and high-value private vehicles, the VT800-L combines a high-precision L76K GPS+BD dual-mode GNSS receiver with a Quectel EC200A-CN 4G communication module and 128Mbit flash buffering. That combination ensures continuous data flow to Plaspy even in signal blind areas and enables robust scheduling, route monitoring and rapid anti-theft response.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible for seamless integration into existing real-time tracking and fleet management workflows.
• 4G CAT4 connectivity (Quectel EC200A-CN) with multi-mode cellular support for wide-area coverage and fast uplink/downlink.
• High-precision GNSS (GPS/BDS/QZSS) with local buffering (128Mbit flash) to preserve history during coverage gaps.
• Rich I/O and expansion: RS232 ports, analog AD inputs, multiple digital inputs and high-current open-drain outputs for telemetry and accessories.
• Advanced telematics: driving behavior monitoring (harsh acceleration/braking/cornering, overspeed), tamper and geofence alarms, and temperature monitoring support for up to eight sensors.
• Optional fuel monitoring via capacitive or ultrasonic sensors for fleet fuel monitoring and anomaly detection.
• Compact, rugged form factor with wide 9–100V power input and internal 500mAh high-temperature polymer backup battery for uninterrupted operation.

How It Works with Plaspy

The VT800-L delivers continuous position and status updates to Plaspy using its 4G data link and dual-server IP upload capability. When the tracker detects network loss, built-in 128Mbit flash memory caches position and telemetry; the unit automatically forwards stored history to Plaspy when connectivity resumes. Plaspy ingests location, alarm and telemetry records to provide live dashboards, alerts and historic route playback.

• Real-time location and telemetry: GNSS positions, speed, heading and 3D accelerometer events feed Plaspy for live tracking and behavior analytics.
• Tamper and geofence events: immediate alerts allow Plaspy to notify dispatch or security teams for anti-theft response.
• Buffered history upload: stored points are forwarded to Plaspy after reconnection, preserving accurate trip records and compliance logs.
• Sensor telemetry: temperature inputs (up to 8 sensors) and optional fuel monitoring data are mapped into Plaspy reports and dashboards.
• Peripheral integration: RS232-connected RFID/iButton or OBD decoders enable driver ID and engine data to be reported to Plaspy for driver logs and vehicle diagnostics.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management: real-time tracking, route compliance, and driving behavior analytics for trucks, buses and taxis.
• Anti-theft protection: tamper and geofence alarms combined with position updates enable fast recovery and remote incident response.
• Cold chain and temperature-sensitive loads: up to eight temperature sensors provide telemetry to Plaspy for continuous condition monitoring.
• Fuel monitoring and cost control: optional capacitive or ultrasonic fuel sensors feed fuel level and consumption data to Plaspy reports.
• Driver ID and access control: RS232 support for RFID and iButton systems ties driver events and hours-of-service data into fleet workflows.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The VT800-L pairs industrial-grade hardware with the integration flexibility required by modern fleet operations. Because it is Plaspy compatible, operators get rapid deployment and consistent telemetry ingestion for fleet management, anti-theft monitoring and operational reporting. The device’s 4G connectivity, multi-GNSS positioning and local buffering reduce data gaps, while rich I/O and peripheral support allow telemetry, temperature monitoring and driver identification to be collected and displayed within Plaspy dashboards.

For organizations that require a compact, high-performance GPS tracker for trucks, buses or mixed fleets, the VT800-L offers a dependable foundation for real-time tracking, telemetry-driven insights and scalable fleet operations on the Plaspy platform.
