AutoFon - SE+ Beacon Features

This page provides a public feature overview for the AutoFon SE+ Beacon and explains how its capabilities map to monitoring and workflows in Plaspy. It is intended to help fleet managers, asset owners, and technical evaluators understand the practical functions the device can deliver when integrated with the Plaspy platform.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation method, regional model, and manufacturer configuration. Users should review official AutoFon documentation and check the device firmware level to confirm the specific features available for their unit and deployment.

Feature Overview​

The AutoFon SE+ Beacon is a compact, low profile GPS tracker designed for long term, low maintenance tracking of vehicles and assets. It combines GNSS positioning and cellular reporting to provide periodic and event-driven location data suitable for discreet monitoring and basic remote control functions.

  • GPS and GLONASS positioning for dependable location fixes in a variety of environments
  • Dual reporting modes with GPRS for primary telemetry and SMS as a fallback for alerts or backup messages
  • Motion, tilt, and impact detection using onboard sensors to generate event alerts
  • Configurable auxiliary channel and alarm input for basic remote control or external device signaling
  • Large offline packet buffer and remote firmware update capability to improve resilience during connectivity gaps

Core Features of AutoFon - SE+ Beacon​

  • GPS plus GLONASS GNSS positioning for reliable location reporting
  • GPRS real time reporting with SMS fallback for alerting and redundancy
  • Motion detection, tilt detection, and impact/crash event reporting using the device accelerometer
  • SOS micro button for manual alerting from the device
  • Auxiliary channel and alarm input for external device control or status input
  • Built in microphone for remote audio monitoring where supported
  • Large internal buffer capable of storing many unsent packets to preserve event history during outages
  • Remote firmware update support over the cellular connection to keep devices current

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

When used with Plaspy, the SE+ Beacon sends position and event messages that Plaspy ingests, normalizes, and presents across dashboards, maps, and alerting workflows. Plaspy surfaces the device signals in ways that help teams monitor asset state, respond to events, and review historical activity.

  • Real time locations appear on Plaspy maps for live tracking and location context
  • Motion, tilt, impact, and SOS events are translated into alerts and timeline entries in Plaspy
  • SMS fallback alerts can be captured as notifications in parallel with GPRS reporting when configured
  • Offline buffer resilience reduces data loss by delivering stored packets to Plaspy after connectivity returns
  • Auxiliary channel actions and alarm input events can be reflected in Plaspy for remote control or status monitoring when authorized and configured

Typical Use Cases​

  • Discreet long term vehicle monitoring where low detectability and battery life are priorities
  • Asset tracking for trailers, containers, or high value cargo with motion and impact alerts
  • Periodic monitoring of stationary objects such as storage sites or equipment sheds
  • Personal or pet tracking scenarios that require SOS alerting and compact installation
  • Small equipment and trailer oversight where simple telemetry and event alerts are sufficient

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Feature presence and exact behavior depend on device firmware version and hardware revision
  • Battery life figures vary with reporting intervals, event frequency, and installation configuration
  • Certain capabilities such as the auxiliary channel or microphone may require authorized wiring and configuration
  • Regional model variants may differ in supported cellular bands or local configuration defaults
  • Always consult official AutoFon documentation for the most current technical and regulatory details

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the AutoFon SE+ Beacon with Plaspy gives organizations a practical pathway to convert compact, low maintenance trackers into operational visibility. Plaspy organizes location and event data into maps, alerting rules, and historical playback so teams can monitor assets, detect incidents, and act on signals from motion and impact sensors.
