Concox - VL512

The VL512 is a compact 4G OBDII GPS tracker designed for fast plug-and-play installation in virtually any passenger car through the vehicle’s OBDII port. As a Plaspy compatible tracker, the VL512 delivers reliable LTE communication with GSM fallback, precise GPS + BDS satellite positioning, on-board motion sensing and instant event alerts — making it an ideal choice for fleet management, vehicle tracking and usage-based telematics where quick deployment and accurate real-time tracking matter.

Simple to install and engineered for continuous operation in commercial environments, the VL512 combines rich telemetry with a discreet microphone for remote voice monitoring and a small industrial 50mAh backup battery. When integrated with Plaspy, the VL512 provides fleet operators and service providers the telemetry they need to enable anti-theft workflows, driver behavior analysis, and scalable reporting without complex hardware changes.

Key Highlights

• Plug-and-play OBDII installation for fast deployment in passenger cars — no hardwiring required.
• LTE Cat 1 connectivity with GSM (2G) fallback to maintain reliable data links across coverage areas.
• High-accuracy GNSS (GPS + BDS) with <2.5 m CEP and strong sensitivity for dependable real-time tracking.
• Built-in accelerometer and gyroscope for driving behavior telemetry: harsh acceleration, braking, cornering and collision detection.
• Instant alerts for movement, speeding, geo-fence entry/exit, power disconnection and vehicle battery status.
• On-device USB Type-C port and Nano-SIM slot for easy configuration and carrier provisioning.
• Compact, industrial-grade design with wide input voltage (9–36 V DC) and backup battery for power-loss reporting.

How It Works with Plaspy

When paired with Plaspy, the VL512 sends periodic location and event messages over LTE/GSM into the Plaspy platform, enabling real-time tracking, alerts and historical reports. Plaspy ingests the device telemetry and translates sensor events into actionable fleet dashboards, notifications and exportable reports suitable for operations, safety and insurance use cases.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates for position monitoring and route reconstruction.
• Ignition and power state detection for accurate engine-on/engine-off reporting and power-disconnection alerts.
• Movement, speeding and geo-fence entry/exit notifications to support anti-theft and fleet compliance workflows.
• Driving behavior events (harsh acceleration, harsh braking, harsh cornering) and collision detection for safety analytics and usage-based insurance programs.
• Remote voice monitoring via the built-in microphone (voice range up to ~5 meters) to support incident verification and driver communications where permitted by law.
• On-device data buffering and 16+16 MB storage to preserve recent events during brief connectivity interruptions.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management — plug in to vehicles quickly and get immediate real-time tracking, driver scoring and route telematics through Plaspy.
• Anti-theft & recovery — movement, geo-fence and power-disconnect alerts provide early warning for unauthorized use and help locate vehicles fast.
• Usage-based insurance (UBI) — accurate GNSS plus accelerometer/gyroscope data supports behavior-based premiums and risk assessment.
• Rental and car-sharing operations — fast OBDII installation, voice monitoring and remote telemetry simplify fleet onboarding and incident handling.
• Roadside assistance & compliance — immediate location and battery/ignition status help dispatchers prioritize service and verify vehicle state.
