When
you must know where your vehicle is NOW...
Real Time Vehicle Tracking will tell you. |
| |
|
Thousands
of miles above the earth, 27 Navstar GPS Satellites make it possible
for you to establish Real Time Vehicle Tracking 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week.
Initially developed as a military navigation
system, GPS satellites were soon opened to the public and now you
can track your vehicle, boat, plane, train, cargo container or anything
imaginable with systems like the ProTrak Digital. |
Tech Note:
This vehicle tracking system requires you to have a modem connected
to a telephone line so that you
can track your vehicle. This is NOT an internet based tracker.
|
| What
is the ProTrak Digital? |
The
ProTrak Digital Real Time Vehicle Tracking unit is a cellular based
GPS tracker that can be permanently installed or rapidly deployed on
any
vehicle in a moments notice. A built in cellular modem allows
you to dial in and retrieve the stored historical position data or
capture
the real time location of your target vehicle.
The system consists of 4 separate parts
that connect together to enable real time tracking

|
| Main
Unit - Holds the GPS Circuitry and Cellular Interface |
The
main ProTrak Digital unit is a weather tight, hardened steel enclosure
that houses the GPS receiver and cellular interface. It has two
25lb magnets on the bottom side and connectors for the GPS antenna, cellular
antenna, and power source. Two machine threaded screws hold the
circuit board in place and allow you to access the device for programming
with relative ease. It's about the size of a standard VHS cassette
tape so it can be easily installed just about anywhere on a vehicle. |
| |
| Battery
Pack - 8 D Cells for up to 5 days operation |
For
covert or temporary installation we include a battery enclosure (complete
with batteries) that holds 8 D Cells. The battery pack also has
a 25lb magnet underneath and will power the ProTrak Digital for up to
5 days. 4 inset screws hold the battery pack together and allow
access to the enclosure for replacing the batteries.
We recommend purchasing an additional
battery pack to have on hand when you need to quickly replace the
power source in the field.
A hard wired connection is also supplied
for wiring directly to the vehicle battery or cigarette lighter plug. |
| |
| GPS
Low Profile Puck Style Antenna |
To
receive the GPS signals from the satellites the main unit needs an antenna. Included
with your purchase is a low profile, puck style GPS antenna. With
a magnetic bottom, the antenna will attach to any metallic surface. 20
feet of cable lets you place the antenna just about anywhere on your
vehicle at a great distance from the main unit. Our new, upgraded
SMA connector is field replaceable so in the event it becomes separated
from the fitting we can direct you to a shop in your area for replacement. |
| |
| Antenna
Will Operate Through Plastic, Carpet, and Glass |
The
puck style antenna needs to have a clear line of sight to the satellites
in space. It is designed to be mounted between the plastic covering
over your bumper so that no metal is in the way. You can also mount
the antenna under anywhere in the vehicle that is plastic or carpet and
a clear view through the windows. Back dashes or front dashes are
great places so long as there is no metal between the antenna and the
sky.
"We HAVE been
successful placing the antenna under the vehicle next to the tracking
device but cannot guarantee it will work for everyone. You
will need to decide for yourself what the best place is by trial
and error." |
| |
| Low
Profile Cellular Antenna |
A
low profile cellular antenna is included for connection to the cellular
network. The antenna is designed to be placed underneath the vehicle
or in a convenient location of your choice. Mounting the antenna
on the roof or trunk will make the unit perform at it's best in fringe
areas but not necessary for daily operations. |

| Activating
Your Real Time Tracker |
So
that you can dial in from your computer you will need to activate the
internal cell phone. Simply find a carrier in your home area and
take the unit to the local store for programming. A complete list
of carriers covering the United States can be located by opening your
installation CD on your computer or by following the links provided below. Cell
phone plans vary in price based on included minutes. If you are
not sure how many minutes you wish to track your vehicle each month we
suggest opting for the lowest rate plan and upgrading as needed. Better
yet, get pre-paid cellular minutes and you won't have monthly recurring
charges. |

Once
you assemble all the parts it will look like this. You are now ready to install it
on your vehicle. Installation is straight forward and relatively easy.
A complete ProTrak Digital Instruction Manual will help you or you
can always call us for suggestions and assistance. We're here
to make sure your vehicle tracking operation is a successful one. |

| Once
you own it, it's yours to keep. |
There
are many real time vehicle trackers on the market today but none compare
to the ProTrak Digital. Here's why... Many of the new companies
sprouting up all over the place set you up with a monthly fee and restrict
you to how many "uses" or accesses you can view over a certain
period of time. They control the data and your access to it. That
means that someone other than you can view where your vehicle is without
your knowledge. Not a good idea.
With the ProTrak Digital YOU own
the data. There are no third parties who have access to your
vehicle's location. If you wish to use it for a few months
then store it on a shelf you simply need to use prepaid cellular
plans that don't incur a monthly fee. Pay as you go!

| Records
Data for up to 18 Days |
|
An
internal memory chip will hold 18 days worth of tracking detail. You
can adjust the download rate for shorter periods of time for more accurate
results. User selectable download rates from 10, 20, 30, and 60 seconds
will give you various levels of vehicle data. Stores over 12,000
positions.

| Non-volatile
Memory NEW
FEATURE! |
| The
newest feature to be updated on the ProTrak Digital is the addition of
non-volatile memory. Other units will lose your valuable data once
the batteries go dead. Not this one. You can leave the unit
on the vehicle after the batteries go dead and still retrieve the information. A
great feature and frustration saver for busy private investigators and
law enforcement. |
| |
| 16
Channel Parallel GPS Receiver |
| 16
GPS channels means you get more accurate data almost anywhere the vehicle
travels. We recommend that you place the antenna under the plastic
part on the vehicle's bumper or under the dash. We have been successful
obtaining a good signal from under the vehicle here in Houston but it
is not guaranteed everywhere the device may be used. |

| Included
Software |
| The
ProTrak Scout downloads through a cell phone interface to your computer. Included

a customer not being able to find their town on one of our maps. |
