Select The Right Vehicle GPS Locator
The functions of realtime gps tracking locators are very similar, and the problems that make car owners tangle are nothing more than the small election of locators, the accuracy of positioning methods, the length of standby time or the convenience of installation. Due to different vehicle needs, we should not blindly follow the trend in selecting automobile tracker device.
1. About Appearance Size
The function of the vehicle location tracker is to locate and track the vehicle position in real time without being detected by others, or perform remote control and monitoring functions. The size of its appearance determines the position and concealment of the location tracker that can be installed on the vehicle. The relatively large location tracker is difficult to hide in the narrow space of the vehicle, and cannot be installed outside the vehicle without anti-theft. In the long run, the small and mini micro positioning tracker is the direction of its future development, especially the gps tracking device with remote monitoring function, which can be hidden and installed anywhere in the car to play its better role.
2. Look at positioning mode
The core technology of positioning tracker is positioning chip, and positioning accuracy is the most intuitive way for car owners to measure product performance. At present, the commonly used positioning modes in the civil field include the GPS satellite system of the United States, the Beidou satellite system of China, and LBS and WIFI positioning. Although they can provide positioning services, they are quite different.
A. GPS satellite positioning
The GPS global positioning system originated in the United States. It was originally a space satellite navigation and positioning system jointly developed by the United States. Now it has a development history of nearly 50 years, and has almost covered the world. The technology is mature and accurate. The early mobile phone navigation and car navigation are both GPS positioning, and its positioning accuracy is about 5-10 meters.
B. Beidou satellite positioning
The GPS satellite navigation and positioning system was built about 20 years earlier than the Beidou system in China, although the application and promotion of GPS system has been very extensive. However, from its birth to the present, the Beidou system has also been proved in many ways that its accuracy and reliability are not inferior to the GPS navigation system, and the positioning accuracy is expected to achieve centimeter level. Moreover, the Beidou system is the trend of the times.
C. LBS+WIFI positioning
LBS positioning and WIFI positioning are generally applied to mobile phone users, and are the most portable methods. After all, mobile phones are almost one of the inseparable objects on everyone. However, this method will be restricted by many external conditions. For example, it cannot be used when there is no network signal or base station. Therefore, these two positioning methods are only used for auxiliary purposes.
Convenient installation and stability are one of the important considerations in selecting location tracker products. There are generally two types of vehicle location gps tracker: wired version and wireless version.
Wired location tracker needs to connect the power line, ACC line, etc. of the vehicle. Its working power supply is provided by the vehicle. Generally, the built-in micro battery can make the equipment still work for 0.5 to 1.5 hours after power failure, to prevent the equipment line from being cut off maliciously and unable to continue to work.
Analysis of advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages: The working power supply is provided by the vehicle. The biggest feature is that it can locate in real time 24 hours, without worrying about the offline equipment without power. In terms of signal strength, the wired equipment has stronger signal, and the positioning accuracy is relatively good. In terms of function, it can realize remote fuel cut-off control or fuel consumption monitoring.
Disadvantages: Because it must be connected to the vehicle power line, the installation position is not flexible enough, and it is easy to be searched by illegal elements for damage and lose its function.
The wireless location tracker has no external wiring and does not use external power supply. Generally, it is an ultra-long standby type, which can be used directly for 2-3 years without replacing the battery or charging. The service life of its battery is determined by the positioning frequency. The higher the positioning frequency, the shorter the service life of the battery.
Analysis of advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages: It can be installed without wiring and is not limited by vehicle lines. It can be placed anywhere on the vehicle with the help of strong magnetic and magic stickers. It has excellent concealment and anti-theft performance.
Disadvantages: The wireless locator needs to be charged regularly and can not realize the remote fuel cut-off and power off control function. In addition, the wireless device signal is slightly worse than the wired version.
In some specific vehicles and scenarios, the owner can select the location and tracking equipment suitable for his own vehicle according to its advantages and disadvantages, such as public vehicles, vehicle rental or logistics transportation, which can consider the wired version. The private car or tracking and reconnaissance wireless version is more convenient to install and hide, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. If you need to select an infinite version locator, its standby time determines its silent working time, and the capacity of the battery is proportional to the size of the battery. Obviously, everyone wants to pursue a locator with a longer standby time, but the following is the larger volume of the vehicle-mounted GPS positioning tracker. You need to balance the two and cannot blindly pursue a certain point.
Under this analysis, the electrical capacity of the vehicle location tracker is about 5000-8000 mA, which is a relatively suitable conclusion after weighing the standby time and volume. At this capacity, the positioning tracker can work for about 60-80 days without stopping all day, without frequent charging, and without worrying about its size and concealment.
