Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I conceal the vehicle device from my drivers?
Our units are quite small and are often installed discretely. The vehicle device does not require any assistance from the driver.
How long does it take to install the unit in the vehicle?
30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the vehicle. Our trained personnel will install the vehicle device. Once the vehicle has been installed, it takes another 10 to 15 minutes to configure the system for live use.
How is the vehicle device powered?
The vehicle device is powered by the vehicle's 12-volt or 24-volt battery. It also has it's own built-in backup battery in case it does not receive power from the vehicle battery for some reason. The backup battery lasts for 10 hours and the vehicle device will send you an alert when the battery is running low.
Will the vehicle device run down the battery of the vehicle?
No, it will not. The vehicle device consumes very little power and goes into sleep mode when it senses that the vehicle ignition has been switched of.
What if somebody tampers with the vehicle device?
The vehicle device has functions to alert you of such situations. If vehicle battery power is diconnected, it will send you a SMS alert. If it does not receive GPS data, it will send you a SMS alert. Finally, if our Application Server does not receive data from the vehicle device, we alert you about this and send in our personnel to check.

How does it work?
There are 24 GPS satellites orbiting the earth placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but over time, the system was made available free for civilian use globally. These satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to a GPS receiver programmed to receive this data anywhere in the world. The receiver needs a clear view of the sky and will not work underground or wherever a view of the sky is not available.
