Feature Overview​

The AutoFon Маяк 4.5 is a compact, low-maintenance tracker designed for long autonomous operation and discreet installations. It reports position data and status either by SMS or by periodic GPRS packets to a monitoring server, making it suitable for intermittent reporting scenarios where battery life and stealth matter.

  • Pushes location and status via SMS and interval GPRS packets for server based monitoring
  • Long battery life suitable for months or longer between maintenance cycles under typical settings
  • Motion detection that enables movement alerts and power saving standby
  • Built in microphone for remote audio monitoring for situational verification
  • Reports external power disconnects and supports a single alarm input plus an auxiliary output for remote control

Core Features of AutoFon - Маяк 4.5​

  • GPS positioning using the LEADTEK 9101 module for location updates
  • GSM connectivity via QUECTEL M10 for SMS reporting and GPRS interval mode
  • Interval GPRS packet sending to a configured monitoring server for periodic telemetry
  • SMS reporting and SMS based remote control with PIN protection and authorized number management
  • Built in digital accelerometer for motion detection and movement alerts
  • Built in microphone for remote audio monitoring where allowed by local law
  • External power monitoring and notification of external power disconnects
  • One alarm input and one auxiliary output for integration with simple external hardware

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

When the Маяк 4.5 is configured to send its position and status to a Plaspy monitoring endpoint, Plaspy receives those updates and converts them into tracking data and events that operators can view and act on. Integration is centered on receiving periodic packets or SMS based events and surfacing them in dashboards and reports.

  • Position updates become live map markers and history trails in Plaspy
  • Motion and tamper events are exposed as immediate alerts in Plaspy alarm workflows
  • External power disconnects and battery state changes are surfaced as status events for operational monitoring
  • Remote audio activation events can be logged as verification actions in Plaspy when enabled
  • SMS command responses and acknowledgements can be recorded as device events for audit and troubleshooting

Typical Use Cases​

  • Discreet anti theft tracking for cars, motorcycles, boats or trailers
  • Long term asset monitoring for containers, pallets or equipment where infrequent updates suffice
  • Personal safety tracking with movement alerts and situational audio monitoring
  • Remote security of small installations that require tamper and power loss detection
  • Basic fleet or single asset oversight where long battery life and minimal maintenance are priorities
  • Recovery and location workflows for lost or stolen property

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Firmware versions and hardware revisions can change available functions and command sets
  • Installation choices such as external power wiring or antenna placement affect reporting reliability and battery life
  • Regional product variants or supplier configurations may alter supported bands or reporting modes
  • Some advanced automatic features listed on older product pages may be absent or deprecated
  • Always confirm specific behavior, supported commands and limitations with manufacturer documentation

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the AutoFon Маяк 4.5 with Plaspy gives operators a straightforward way to convert periodic position and status reports into actionable monitoring, alarms and historical records. Plaspy’s tracking dashboards and alerting tools are suited to workflows that prioritize long battery life, covert installation and concise telemetry rather than continuous high frequency reporting.
