The TK200AM by the manufacturer is an ultra-compact GPS tracker that is Plaspy compatible, designed for long-term asset tracking and anti-tamper deployments. Using GSM/GPRS networks together with a high-sensitivity GPS chipset and supplemental positioning (LBS and Wi‑Fi), the TK200AM delivers reliable location fixes for vehicles, containers, motorcycles and other valuable assets while minimizing maintenance with an ultra-long standby capability.
Optimized for concealment and low-duty reporting, the TK200AM supports both an energy-saving once-per-day reporting mode and a high-frequency, switchable real-time tracking mode for urgent needs. Plaspy-compatible integration enables fleet managers and asset owners to combine TK200AM location data and telemetry with Plaspy’s dashboards, alerts and reporting for effective fleet management, anti-theft response, and long-term asset monitoring.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible for easy integration into existing fleet management and telemetry workflows.
- Ultra-compact, low-profile form factor (76 × 50 × 30 mm, ~60 g) ideal for concealment on vehicles, containers, bikes and equipment.
- Dual-mode power strategy: ultra-long standby when reporting infrequently (manufacturer-stated multi-month/years under certain duty cycles) and switchable real-time tracking for immediate location updates.
- Multiple positioning methods (GPS, LBS, Wi‑Fi) for faster fixes and improved accuracy in urban or obstructed environments.
- Built-in anti-tamper alarm wakes the unit and issues a location update if the protective film is removed or the unit is detached.
- On-demand wake and remote control via the vendor’s platform or mobile app to trigger updates without increasing continuous power drain.
- GSM/GPRS transmission (TCP/IP) for reliable connectivity and uplink of telemetry to Plaspy-compatible backends.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the TK200AM provides continuous situational awareness through regular location uploads, tamper alerts and device telemetry. The device uses GSM/GPRS to send position packets and the MTK GPS engine to compute fixes; Plaspy receives that data to present real-time tracking, historical routes, and configurable alerts. Because the TK200AM supports both low-power periodic reporting and an active real-time mode, you can balance battery life versus tracking granularity directly from the Plaspy dashboard or mobile app.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates when in active reporting mode, and scheduled/location-based updates in low-power mode.
- Tamper/anti-theft alert triggered on protective-film removal or device detachment for prompt anti-theft responses.
- Wake-on-demand from the platform or app to retrieve immediate location and status without leaving continuous tracking enabled.
- GPRS (TCP/IP) uplink of position packets and device status compatible with Plaspy ingestion for fleet management and reporting.
- Plaspy can combine TK200AM location feeds with broader telemetry, such as fuel monitoring, ignition events or immobilizer controls, where fleet infrastructure or additional sensors are present.

Use Cases
- Fleet management for low-activity assets where long unattended operation and periodic telemetry reporting reduce maintenance cycles.
- Vehicle rental and car service fleets that require concealed tracking and tamper alerts to protect assets when offsite.
- Motorcycle and electric bike tracking where small form factor and discreet installation are essential.
- Container and long-term asset monitoring for supply chain and logistics, using low-power periodic updates to preserve battery life.
- Insurance telematics scenarios where location history, movement detection and anti-theft alerts are combined for risk management.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
Choosing the TK200AM as a Plaspy-compatible device delivers a balanced solution for organizations that need long-term, low-maintenance tracking with instant escalation options. Its small size and anti-tamper alarm make it ideal for discreet anti-theft applications, while the selectable reporting profiles—from once-daily low-power mode to switchable real-time tracking—let you optimize battery life against tracking fidelity. With GSM/GPRS (TCP/IP) transport and proven MTK GPS sensitivity, the TK200AM supplies reliable position and basic telemetry feeds that Plaspy can ingest, visualize and combine with other data sources such as fuel monitoring, ignition or immobilizer events where your fleet setup provides those inputs. In short, the TK200AM is a practical choice for fleet management, anti-theft protection and long-term asset monitoring when integrated into the Plaspy platform for centralized alerts, mapping and reporting.
