The VT401 is a highly accurate real time GPS tracker which can be hardwired into your vehicle and its security system - if your car alarms siren sounds* or the vehicles battery runs low, it rings your mobile phone (as a warning only - no voice communication) and sends a text message with the nature of the alert as well as its geographical location.
* Not applicable for OEM alarms with horn honk.
What is a GPS Tracking System?
A vehicle tracking system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner to track the vehicle's location. Most modern vehicle tracking systems use Global Positioning System or GPS. The Global Positioning System is a global navigation satellite system developed by the United States Department of Defense and managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing. Many systems also combine a communications component such as cellular or satellite transmitters to communicate the vehicle's location to a remote user.
How Does GPS Vehicle Tracking work?
GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the vehicle's exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is? Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the vehicle's position and then relay that information via a GSM text message.
How do I track it ? A couple of ways, both of which are very easy and all it costs is a text message with no software or monitoring costs;
Manual Tracking: You can ask the location at any time by either calling by mobile phone or by sending a text message to the tracker. The tracker replies by text with its location by latitude and longitude. Just type the co-ordinates into Google Maps/Earth on any PC, laptop or GPS navigator to show the location.
Automatic Tracking: The tracker can also text you its location automatically at time intervals of your choice - from 1 minute to 99 hours apart - all controlled by simple text messages from your mobile phone. When input into Google, your computer can keep a record of time, date and locations.

The 877 is a compact GSM / GPS based vehicle tracking system which can be wired to a car alarms "siren sound" output, or on its own with enhanced security features such as configurable alarm inputs, wireless immobiliser, anti-hijack and drivers ID etc. Communication to peripherals is via a 2.4 GHz communicator.
The GPS information is relayed to the control room via GSM and the unit has a built in 868 MHz onboard beacon transmitter, once activated will assist in pin-pointing the vehicle, using a DF receiver and antenna. Autowatch also have a Can-Bus Version of this product which is highly popular in the European Market for late model vehicles.
A single SMS config message can be sent to configure all parameters.
Drivers ID via walk-up-walk-away fob (WUWA) operating on 2.4GHz using encrypted rolling code.
Onboard movement sensor to detect illegal movement (early warning).
All SMSs include serial number, current serving cell ID, status of outputs, status of inputs (eg HIGH / LOW).
GSP Sleep Mode - The system will store the last GPS position at switch off and then goes into a power down sleep mode 40 seconds later. If an immobiliser is fitted it will also then immobilise the vehicle.
GPS Wake Mode - The unit will wake up if a door or bonnet is opened or if ignition power is detected or if the vehicle is moved.
Valid Drivers ID - This is achieved via a 2.4GHz encrypted walk-up-walk-away (WUWA) fob. If the vehicle is started without this fob being present the unit will send a theft message to the control room. If the
WUWA signal is present at ignition but disappears later it will send a hijack message to the control room.
Anti-hijack feature available if immobiliser is installed. Panic trigger via remote button
