VT300-L
The VT300-L is a compact, Plaspy compatible 4G LTE GPS tracker engineered for reliable real-time tracking, telemetry and anti-theft protection across trucks, trailers, motorcycles and private cars. Designed for fleet management and individual vehicle security, the VT300-L combines multi-constellation GNSS positioning with robust 4G communications and dual-server IP uploading for redundancy—so location and event data reach Plaspy consistently even in challenging network conditions.
The device is built for resilient field use: an IP66-rated enclosure, 9–100V wide input range and a built-in 300 mAh backup battery allow continuous operation in varied vehicle types and harsh environments. With local history storage, multiple I/O and peripheral interfaces, and driving behavior sensors, VT300-L delivers the telemetry and control options fleet operators expect from a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for real-time tracking and fleet management across mixed vehicle fleets.
- 4G LTE connectivity with multiple regional hardware variants (CN/EU/LA) and dual-server IP uploading for redundancy.
- Multi-constellation GNSS (GPS/BDS/QZSS) with L76K module for high-precision location updates.
- Rugged IP66 housing and wide 9–100V power input for trucks, trailers, motorcycles and private cars.
- Built-in 300 mAh backup battery and 32 Mbit flash memory for offline data buffering and automatic forwarding on reconnect.
- Rich I/O set: 2 digital inputs, 1 analog (AD), 1 open-drain output (500 mA), 1-Wire (iButton/temperature) and RS232 for telemetry and peripherals.
- Integrated 3D accelerometer for driving behavior monitoring (harsh acceleration, braking, cornering) and tamper/geofence alarms.
How It Works with Plaspy
When integrated with Plaspy, the VT300-L streams location, status and telemetry to the Plaspy platform over 4G in real time, enabling live maps, alerts and historical reports. Dual-server IP uploading provides an extra layer of delivery assurance while built-in local storage preserves location history during network outages for later upload to Plaspy.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates to Plaspy over 4G LTE for live tracking and reporting.
- Ignition and door/alarms via digital inputs—Plaspy receives discrete event data for immediate alerts and reporting.
- Fuel monitoring support for capacitive or ultrasonic fuel sensors relayed to Plaspy for fuel monitoring and consumption analysis.
- Remote immobilizer and vehicle control can be implemented using the open-drain output; Plaspy can trigger outputs or alerts as part of anti-theft workflows.
- 1-Wire and RS232 support for iButton or temperature sensors (up to eight temperature probes supported) to enable cold-chain telemetry and driver ID workflows.
- Works alongside broader Plaspy sensor ecosystems (including Bluetooth sensors managed by Plaspy) so mixed-sensor deployments are supported at the platform level.
