Thread: Asset trackers - Battery powered suitable for rifle cases to vehicles

At the moment we are prioritising the one device for small battery powered applications. These are the most versatile and most suited to high value items without taking up space, and without drawing power from some external source. This is becoming particularly important as criminals often will disconnect batteries at the time of theft for the likes of caravans. These are the Digital Matter Yabby Edge.

This year we are working to wider applications such as longer battery life, vehicle specific units, tank monitoring type equipment, and repurposing the current devices for gate/door tamper alarms for things like containers, sheds, and similar. We test all operations of devices and configurations extensively before we put them up so this can take time.

As I have said previously, all plans cover data connectivity, data usage, server access, SIM cards, and first pack of user replaceable batteries.

The current plan options are;

Standard Tracking
Motion alerts
30 second position logging while moving
30 minute position updates while moving
12 hourly "heartbeat" while stopped
Connect on start, and connect on stop
trip/track viewing and management
User activated "Recovery mode" live connection and 60 second location updates
Best suited to high value, hard to replace, and vulnerable equipment that you want to know where it is at any given moment, ie Motorcycles, "toy hauler" type trailers, caravans, boats, construction work site type equipment (tool trailers etc), firearms and firearms cases.
Could also be used for small business or personal fleet management applications for on site time, but does not have a connection to the vehicle for ignition state, run hours, and other fleet type applications. This is something we are working on this year with other devices currently under test.

Periodic location
4 hourly location updates regardless of movement,
User activated "Recovery mode" live connection and 60 second location updates
Longer battery life
Cheaper subscription
Best suited to the likes of plant equipment that may trigger motion constantly reducing battery life, equipment that would be difficult to steal but its location might be in question (farming implements, commercial test equipment, industrial and commercial plant equipment, caravans, boats, high end outdoor furniture etc).

If you can think of an application for this type of equipment that doesn't seem to be perfectly served in the stated devices or plans please let me know. We want to make this the best possible service, we can either modify plan configurations, or find other devices more suited to your needs.
