AutoFon - Диалог-Маяк

The AutoFon Dialog-Beacon (АвтоФон Диалог-Маяк) is a compact, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed for discreet, long-term location and status monitoring. Built on the v.6.x hardware platform, the Dialog-Beacon combines GPS/GLONASS positioning, GPRS/SMS reporting and a deep black-box buffer to deliver reliable real-time tracking, remote audio monitoring and configurable alarm handling for vehicles, cargo, watercraft and portable assets.

Optimized for up to two years of autonomous operation on internal batteries, the Dialog-Beacon is ideal where stealth, low ownership cost and robust failover are critical. As a Plaspy compatible device it transmits coordinates and telemetry to Plaspy’s monitoring server over GPRS or as SMS messages, enabling scalable fleet management, anti-theft workflows and telemetry integration without constant rewiring or subscription overhead.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker with GPS + GLONASS navigation for precise positioning and real-time tracking via GPRS or SMS.
• Exceptional battery life — optimized for up to 2 years on 2×CR123A cells — for long-term, low-maintenance deployments.
• Stealth-friendly compact design (69 × 51 × 22 mm) suitable for covert installation in vehicles, containers and portable assets.
• Advanced failover and buffering: 98,000-packet black box stores GPRS packets and retries unsent alerts for resilient telemetry delivery.
• Built-in microphone and SOS button provide remote audio monitoring and immediate panic signaling for situational awareness.
• Configurable accelerometer with movement start, tilt/roll, crash and impact detection to support anti-theft and crash alerts.
• External control channel for remote device control (engine kill/remote start, siren or heater control) to support immobilizer-like actions.

How It Works with Plaspy

The Dialog-Beacon communicates location and status to Plaspy using standard GPRS reporting to a selected monitoring server or via SMS. Plaspy ingests the device’s telemetry and presents it within the platform for live maps, alerts, historical playback and reporting. The device’s configurable operating cycle balances power consumption and responsiveness so Plaspy receives timely updates while preserving battery life.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates sent over GPRS (or SMS link-to-map) for live tracking in Plaspy dashboards.
• Event reporting: SOS button presses, alarm input triggers and hood/door relay events are reported as alerts to Plaspy.
• Accelerometer events (movement start, tilt/roll, crash detection) appear as telemetry events for anti-theft and safety monitoring.
• Audio monitoring via built-in microphone can be used for remote situational awareness where regulations allow.
• Remote control channel supports engine kill or remote start actions; Plaspy workflows can coordinate immobilizer-like responses when required.
• Robust failover: the 98,000-packet black box buffers data and automatically retries unsent packets so no telemetry is lost during coverage gaps.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Covert vehicle anti-theft and recovery: continuous location tracking, tilt/impact and crash alerts plus remote control channel for immobilization workflows.
• Portable asset and cargo tracking: long battery life and compact size make it suitable for containers, trailers and watercraft where discreet monitoring and long intervals between charges are required.
• Remote site protection and personnel safety: SOS button, audio monitoring and alarm input enable quick response for kiosks, cottages or vulnerable individuals.
• Fleet management and telemetry augmentation: integrates into Plaspy for route playback, event-driven alerts and telemetry; pairs with external sensors via expansion board to extend monitoring (e.g., fuel telemetry when supporting vehicle sensors are added).
• Unattended equipment and asset preservation: black box buffering and retry logic keep a continuous history of events even across temporary coverage gaps.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

Choosing the AutoFon Dialog-Beacon as a Plaspy compatible option brings together low-maintenance, long-life hardware and a resilient reporting strategy that reduces data loss and operational overhead. Its long autonomous runtime and compact, low-emission design are especially valuable for discreet anti-theft deployment and remote assets where frequent service is impractical. Plaspy leverages the Dialog-Beacon’s GPRS and SMS outputs, black-box memory and event-rich telemetry (accelerometer events, SOS, alarm inputs, audio monitoring and remote-control channel) to provide reliable real-time tracking and fleet management insights.

For organizations that require telemetry integration such as fuel monitoring or ignition/immobilizer control, the Dialog-Beacon’s auxiliary channel and expansion board create flexible interfaces that Plaspy can incorporate into alerting and automation rules. While the device uses RF-tags for presence detection, Plaspy can centrally correlate data from Bluetooth sensors or other IoT sources in the same monitoring ecosystem to deliver comprehensive situational awareness.
