When you must know where your vehicle is NOW...
Real Time Vehicle Tracking will tell you.

   
real time vehicle tracker satelliteThousands 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
main tracking unit next to a VHS tapeThe 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
battery packFor 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
GPS puck antennaTo 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
covert antenna placementThe 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.

Low Profile Cellular Antenna
low profile cell antennaA 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.

Completed Setup

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.
animated vehicleThere 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 is software of the United States.  We have never had an issue with a customer not being able to find their town on one of our maps.
 
Complete Historical Location Display
Map displays vehicle location, speed, heading, latitude and longitude, and time at remote location.  Every piece of data you would ever need to know exactly what your vehicle was doing and when.

Real Time Location and Speed Display
When you log in to the ProTrak you have the option of viewing it's real-time location, speed, and heading.  Color coded arrows help you quickly visually identify the vehicle speed and direction of travel.  The longitude and latitude will also be displayed for precise navigation reference.

Weather tight Design
Rubber Rings Seal off the internal electronics to prevent them from being damaged by road dust and splashes of water.  This unit is NOT waterproof so don't try to track a boat from underneath.
 
Small Size
Size - 1.1" x 4" x 6.5"
Weight - 22 oz.
 
Built-in Motion Detector
Saves batteries when the vehicle is not in motion.  As soon as the vehicle starts rolling, the unit comes to life and starts logging information.
 
Magnetic Mount
A strong magnet on the bottom of the unit is designed to hold it firmly in place.  We suggest that you either tape it or use zip ties to secure it to the vehicle to ensure it doesn't bounce off.
