Coban - BN-401D
The BN-401D is a compact motorcycle and small vehicle GPS management terminal from Coban designed for reliable real time tracking and anti theft protection. Suited to concealed installations, the unit pairs core telemetry with a rechargeable backup battery and remote controls on the D variant to deliver ignition aware tracking, SOS and shock alarms, geo fencing and remote fuel or power cutoff for straightforward vehicle security and monitoring.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the BN-401D supplies the location updates, event alerts and device state needed for centralized fleet oversight and individual vehicle monitoring. Its LTE first design with 2G fallback and immobilizer style controls make it a practical option for Plaspy users who need compact hardware that integrates into dashboards, alerting rules and track playback workflows.
Key Highlights
- Purpose built for motorcycle and small car tracking with a compact form factor for concealed installation.
- LTE capable with 2G fallback for broader coverage and continuous telemetry reporting.
- Rechargeable backup battery plus direct 12V–24V vehicle power connection to maintain tracking during power loss.
- D model includes remote arm/disarm and remote fuel or power cutoff for immobilizer style control.
- Built in alarm suite including SOS, shock or movement alerts, overspeed and external power disconnection warnings.
- Smart power behavior that reduces reporting while stationary and wakes quickly on motion or events.
- Standard kit typically includes a relay, wiring harness and remote control for faster deployment.
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the BN-401D forwards location and event information into the Plaspy platform so operators can view live positions, replay historical tracks and receive timely alerts for security and operational events. Plaspy consolidates the tracker data with other fleet information to provide a single view of device status and incident history.
- Live position updates and track playback for visibility into vehicle movements.
- Alarm and event notifications such as SOS, movement/shock, overspeed and geo fence breaches routed into Plaspy alerts.
- Ignition and device state reporting to support event based tracking and operational reporting.
- Remote immobilizer style actions from the D model integrated into Plaspy controls where permitted by local regulations.
- Battery and external power alerts to help prevent device downtime and support proactive maintenance.
Typical Use Cases
- Motorcycle anti theft and recovery with concealed installation, shock alarms and remote cutoff capability.
- Small fleet tracking for real time visibility, route review and simple geofence based alerts.
- Owner monitoring for individual vehicles with ignition notifications and low battery warnings.
- Remote immobilization workflows for recovery or secure vehicle management using the D variant controls.
- Short term rental or shared vehicle programs that require lightweight tracking and basic remote control features.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The BN-401D pairs a low footprint hardware design with a practical set of alarms and remote control features that match common needs for motorcycle security and small vehicle fleet oversight. Its LTE first approach with fallback ensures that location and event data reach Plaspy reliably, while smart power behavior and a backup battery help maintain coverage when vehicles are stationary or external power is interrupted.
Choosing the BN-401D for use with Plaspy is a sensible option when you need a compact tracker that provides core telemetry, alarm reporting and immobilizer style control without unnecessary complexity. Plaspy can ingest the device data and expose it through dashboards, alerts and playback so teams can monitor assets and respond to incidents from a centralized platform.
