Feature Overview​

The Autoseeker AT-17 is a rugged, magnet-mount GPS tracker built for long deployments and covert asset tracking. It uses quad-band GSM/GPRS for SMS and GPRS reporting and offers a suite of alarms and remote functions designed for theft prevention and long-term tracking without fixed wiring.

  • Long duration deployments supported by a large internal 10000 mAh battery and low standby current for extended standby life.
  • Rugged waterproof enclosure with six integrated magnets and additional backup magnets for secure mounting to metal assets.
  • Quad-band GSM/GPRS connectivity with SMS and GPRS locate on demand to support remote querying and server reporting.
  • Security oriented alarms including motion detection, remove/shake alarms and low battery alerts for recovery and monitoring workflows.
  • Remote monitor listening function to assist situational awareness during recovery or verification.
  • Compatibility with Plaspy for centralized live tracking, alerting and historical route playback.

Core Features of Autoseeker - AT-17​

  • GPS location reporting for real time position updates and recorded tracks for later review.
  • Quad-band GSM/GPRS connectivity enabling SMS and GPRS (TCP) reporting across typical 2G networks.
  • Large 10000 mAh internal battery designed for long standby and extended covert deployments.
  • Rugged waterproof enclosure for outdoor and exposed use cases.
  • Six integrated powerful magnets plus backup magnets for fast, secure mounting on metal surfaces.
  • Motion detection, remove alarm and shake alarm functionality to notify unusual movement or tampering.
  • Low battery alerts to report battery status and reduce unexpected service gaps.
  • Remote monitor function to enable listening for situational verification during recovery events.

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

When the AT-17 is configured to report to Plaspy, location updates and event messages are ingested and mapped into Plaspy’s tracking workflows. Plaspy makes position history, live maps, and alarm events available to operations teams for monitoring and response.

  • Real time tracking and map visualization within Plaspy using device position reports and timestamps.
  • Alarm ingestion for motion, remove/shake and low battery so notifications and rules can be applied inside Plaspy.
  • Historical playback and archived tracks for route review, audit and incident investigation.
  • Locate on demand via SMS or GPRS requests reflected back to Plaspy or shown in map tools for quick recovery actions.
  • Centralized rule management and notifications in Plaspy to turn device events into operational alerts and workflows.

Typical Use Cases​

  • Covert anti-theft tracking for trucks, trailers and high value vehicles to assist recovery teams.
  • Container, pallet and cargo tracking where long battery life and magnetic mounting simplify temporary installs.
  • Monitoring construction equipment and off-grid machinery for location visibility between projects.
  • Short term rentals and asset lending where non permanent mounting is required and service intervals need minimization.
  • Recovery operations that benefit from remote monitor listening and alarm driven response.
  • Logistics chains that require archived location history for audits and route analysis.

Feature Availability Notes​

  • The AT-17 is a 2G GSM/GPRS device; verify local 2G network availability and regional cellular support before purchase.
  • Exact alarm behavior, monitor function operation and reporting intervals can depend on firmware and device configuration set by the manufacturer or supplier.
  • Hardware revisions may differ in charging interface and accessory content; confirm whether the unit uses Micro USB or Type-C and which magnets or backups are included.
  • Installation method and mounting location will affect GPS reception and alarm sensitivity; test device placement for your operational context.
  • Manufacturer documentation should be consulted for the most current technical specifications and supported command sets.
