Meitrack - VT-400 Features

This page provides a public feature summary for the Meitrack VT-400 and explains how its capabilities can be used with the Plaspy platform. It focuses on practical, non sensitive details about location reporting, connectivity options, alarms, I O, and rugged design, and how those elements translate into visibility and operational control inside Plaspy.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by device firmware, hardware revision, regional variant, and the specifics of the installed configuration. For device specific parameters and the latest firmware functionality consult the manufacturer documentation and product literature for the VT-400.

Feature Overview​

The VT-400 is engineered for heavy machinery, construction equipment, and vehicle tracking, combining GPS positioning with GSM GPRS communication and a rugged IP66 enclosure. It supports multiple reporting modes and a range of alarms and inputs to provide useful operational data for fleet and asset managers.

  • GPS based position reporting with GSM GPRS transmission for remote monitoring
  • SMS and GPRS TCP UDP communication for flexible server or phone reporting
  • Multiple tracking modes including on demand, timed interval, and distance based reporting
  • Built in motion sensor and internal logging to support power saving and temporary offline recording
  • Wide alarm set including geo fence movement low battery speeding and antenna and power related alerts
  • Rugged IP66 design with internal backup battery and SOS panic button for emergency signaling

Core Features of Meitrack - VT-400​

  • GPS positioning with AGPS support using GSM base station ID for faster fixes
  • GSM GPRS and SMS communication options for transmitting location and events
  • Configurable tracking modes on demand time interval or distance based reporting
  • Internal memory for data logging and an internal backup battery for continued reporting during power loss
  • Motion sensor for power saving and to reduce unnecessary reporting while stationary
  • Multiple alarm types including movement geo fencing low battery speeding GPS blind area GPS antenna disconnection and power cut detection
  • Inputs and outputs for external signals including 2 digital inputs 7 analog inputs 1 open circuit output and 1 relay output plus an optional RS232 interface
  • Remote engine cut functionality for stopping vehicle or machinery when supported by installation

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

Plaspy receives location and event data from the VT-400 and maps that information into real time location views historical tracks and event streams for operational oversight. Plaspy automatically detects many tracker protocols and can accept device reports sent over common transport methods.

  • Real time location and breadcrumb trails for route reconstruction and historical playback
  • Alarm and event visibility for geo fence breaches movement alerts low battery and other device alarms
  • Logged data forwarding from the device to Plaspy so offline periods can still be represented in the platform
  • Input and output state reporting and relay or engine cut actions visible as events and control items inside Plaspy
  • Devices can be configured to report to Plaspy using TCP or UDP to the Plaspy server domain d.plaspy.com on the common service port 8888 and Plaspy will detect the tracker protocol automatically

Typical Use Cases​

  • Monitoring heavy machinery and construction equipment locations across sites
  • Fleet vehicle tracking for route oversight mileage reporting and utilization monitoring
  • Emergency alerting and response using the SOS panic button and alarm events
  • Theft prevention or recovery workflows combined with remote engine cut when supported by the installation
  • Maintenance planning based on mileage and usage patterns recorded by the tracker
  • Remote site asset monitoring where rugged IP66 protection is required

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Firmware versions and regional variants may enable or limit some alarms inputs or I O behavior
  • Hardware revisions and optional accessories such as RS232 modules affect available interfaces
  • Installation wiring and vehicle or machinery electrical systems influence features like engine cut and external voltage detection
  • Manufacturer implementation details determine exact alarm thresholds naming and event formats
  • Always verify the specific device serial number model label and firmware level when planning deployment

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the Meitrack VT-400 with Plaspy gives organizations a practical way to turn device level GPS and event data into actionable operational insights. Plaspy consolidates position updates logged events and alarm notifications into a single view so teams can monitor equipment usage manage alerts and review historical movement for reporting and compliance.
