The VT200B GPS Tracker by VT (model VT200B) is a rugged, Plaspy compatible vehicle tracking terminal designed for professional fleet management and automotive security. Combining SiRF‑Star III GNSS sensitivity with quad‑band GSM connectivity, the VT200B delivers reliable real‑time tracking via SMS or GPRS (TCP/UDP), an internal data logger that stores over 10,000 records when the network is unavailable, and built‑in car alarm functions including SOS and remote immobilization.
Optimized for integration with Plaspy, the VT200B provides telemetry, driver identification, and configurable alerts to help fleets reduce theft risk, monitor driver behavior, and capture fuel and temperature telemetry when external sensors are attached. Its compact, vehicle‑grade design and free web/mobile platform access make it a practical choice for mixed fleets and advanced anti‑theft deployments.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible for seamless real‑time tracking and centralized fleet management across the Plaspy platform.
- Real‑time tracking via SMS and GPRS (TCP/UDP) plus an internal 2MB logger that stores 10,000+ records for offline continuity.
- Built‑in anti‑theft features: SOS panic button, geo‑fencing, over‑speed alerts, external power cut‑off alarm and remote engine cut‑off (immobilizer).
- Driver ID options: Bluetooth and RFID support plus smartphone Bluetooth for driver management and anti‑theft control.
- High‑sensitivity GNSS (SiRF‑Star III) with typical 10 m 2D RMS accuracy for dependable location and route telemetry.
- Multiple external sensor support (temperature, crash, fuel) and I/O for telemetry, alarms, and third‑party integrations.
- Rugged automotive power range (DC 9–37V), backup battery (650 mAh) and certifications (CE, FCC, RoHS) for professional use.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the VT200B forwards GPS coordinates and vehicle telemetry in real time over GPRS, and can fallback to SMS when data is not available. Plaspy ingests position, status and sensor data from the device to present live maps, historical tracks, and event‑based reports. The VT200B’s internal logger ensures no gaps in history — stored records upload automatically when connectivity is restored, preserving fleet continuity and audit trails.
- Real‑time location and telemetry updates via GPRS (TCP/UDP) and SMS fallback.
- Event alerts: SOS panic, geo‑fencing entry/exit, over‑speed, external power cut‑off, crash detection.
- Ignition and immobilizer control: remote engine cut‑off commands relayed through Plaspy for anti‑theft response.
- Fuel monitoring and temperature sensors: external sensor inputs reported to Plaspy for refrigerated transport and bulk fuel management.
- Driver identification via RFID or Bluetooth (including smartphone Bluetooth) for driver attribution and behavior analytics.
