Global Positioning Tracking System or better known as GPS tracking is a powerful innovative tool that helps determine the exact location of a person and a vehicle from any environment. The information is easily transmitted through devices such as cell phones, internet-connected computers, and GPS trackers. The great feature of this tool is that the information can be viewed in real-time.
You can install the best vehicle tracking systems so that they can be easily viewed in real time or analyzed later or in text format depending on user preferences and system settings. The system can be used for law enforcement, wildlife tracking, electronic tagging, telematics, and real-time location.
How does this system work?
Suppose you want to monitor the location and movement of a vehicle. In this scenario, GPS tracking comes into play with four systems:
GPS satellites
Vehicle must be supervised
Mobile
Surveillance device
The GPS satellites above transmit location, speed and direction information to a GPS tracking device hidden in the vehicle. The tracking device, which usually consists of a GPS receiver and a cellular modem, transmits GPS data (consisting of longitude and latitude data) over the cellular network.
The mobile network then relays the information signal to the user's browser, mobile phone, or email. Users have the ability to set geographic limits and speed signals to control and monitor vehicle movement.
A geofence is an "electronic fence" that, when turned on, sends a signal to the user if the vehicle crosses a geographical boundary designed to restrict movement. In short, a geofence is a dynamically generated virtual perimeter.
