FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

How does the system work?

The monthly cost will be the mobile phone operator's fee to transmit GPRS 10MB per month.

How I can test the product?

You can login to our live server. Or better for live demonstrations, we recommend purchasing our PROFESSIONAL KIT (or PRO KIT). The PRO KIT allows you to test the system and see how it works before buying a larger quantity of tracking units. Many customers have started their own business in this way.

Can a burglar disable the system?

If the thief disconnects the main battery, the system will immediately alert you or the owner. You may install an anti-tamper button to generate a warning if someone is trying to sabotage the system. If the GSM service is unavailable or the Server is offline the system will store everything in memory and will upload automatically.

How quickly can it transmit the information?

The position is transmitted in 1 second. Each device is usually configured to send its position every 1 minute to avoid overloading the system and to keep monthly fees down too. In addition the user or system operator may poll the device for real-time location.

How much should I charge clients?

In the tracking service an installation fee and a monthly fee are charged. The initial installation can be up to $100 and a monthly fee of $30 or more depending on the number of services provided and the type of vehicle tracked. This involves a two year's contract. The device will be owned by your company. This means the new devices will pay for themselves after 2 months. Although this business requires an initial investment, the annual yield makes it a very attractive business.

Can I charge my clients for using it?

Yes, charging a monthly fee is the base of your business plan. This is a very profitable business for the long term, since the devices will always be owned by your company. This business can bring a 120% interest rate per year providing that you install all the units in the first months.

What do I need to activate the device?

You need a simcard with Internet. They will transmit around 8 MB of data per month. The phone companies usually offer packages for large amounts of data at a low price. Once you place the chip you should install the device covertly. The installation process is simple: the GPS antenna must be attached under the dashboard - with no metal obstructing the antenna's view of the sky. The GPS signal can pass through glass and plastic without problem. The rest is similar to the installation of a car alarm. This process should only be performed by a car electrician.
