DPS-Promatic has developed a complete GPS and GSM unit that can be located into any vehicle or boat.
This unit will store the currrent position, has 1 input and 1 output and has a an analog input.
It also has an acceleration monitor to send an SMS in case of crash.
data can be logged in a 8 Mbit flash memory for later retrieval or can be sent at programmed intervals
through SMS. A version with UDP packets through GPRS can be supplied on request.
In this way you will be able to monitor the position of trucks, cars and boats
and to receive an alarm if the device has moved from a marked position (e.g. if they steal your boat or car).

How does it work?:
The TCS-GPS unit is sold into a dust and water protected box. In the standard version is comes with
a GPS and a GSM antenna.
It can be powered from 6 to 28 VDC and it can be attached also to an extra backup battery.
It has 1 input that can be used to trigger an alarm SMS (i.e. it can be connected to the car alarm)
or to a door switch. It has 1 output that is useful to switch on or off something from remote.
TCS-GPS II has also an analog input, that is very convenient to monitor refrigerated trucks
so to check temperature along with speed and position, as well as fuel level etc.
You only need to insert a GSM SIM and install the TCS-GPS in the vehicle. You can then
control it from a remote telephone via SMS.
You don't need to subscribe to any service.
Example of operating modes:
|
|
Example of basic usage of TCS-GPS without needing any special server or service
|
|
Example of sophisticated usage of TCS-GPS with a server that receives via GPRS or SMS or data call (CSD)
actual vehicle position and serves over the internet a PHP page dynamically generated.
This solution (or even the service) can be provided by us on request. Price varies according to specifications.

Example of installation below a car. Normally the GPS unit must be placed in a position where it can see the sky
pointing high and not below. With the High sensitivity 12 satellites GPS receiver that we use,
the unit can work even below the car (on the edge, not hidden below) and still receive from 3 to 8 satellites
that is enough to provide a correct position.

Specification of data logged into the flash memory:
Position is acquired every second from the built in 12 satellites GPS receiver and is stored into flash memory
in a convenient format with comma separated variables (CSV) that provides the following record:
$DPTG2, 2003/01/15, 20:26, TCS-GPS-01, 517, 2, 4413.5589 , N, 048.0984, E,
33.0, 0.00, 8, 0, 1, 0, 0, 15, 180, 8, 27, 15, E, 5.2, *3A
