TZone - AVL-05 Features

This page provides a public feature overview of the TZone AVL-05 GPS vehicle tracker and how its capabilities are typically used with Plaspy. It summarizes the device's main functions and the practical value they deliver when reporting into the Plaspy platform without covering private configuration or proprietary protocols.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation wiring, and manufacturer implementation. For device-specific technical details, firmware notes, and the latest instructions consult the official TZone documentation and release notes.

Feature Overview​

The AVL-05 is positioned for vehicle security, recovery, and fleet management. It combines location reporting, alarm reporting, remote control capabilities, and on-device storage to support continuous tracking and oversight for cars, taxis, buses, and trucks.

  • Real time location tracking viewable from software and cell phone interfaces for ongoing visibility
  • Multiple alarm types including over speed, low power, and geo-fence notifications for prompt event awareness
  • Remote control and status detection for vehicle doors and engine on off to support operational control
  • GPRS and SMS communications for flexible reporting and command delivery across networks
  • Mileage calculation and on device data storage to support fleet reporting and historical review

Core Features of TZone - AVL-05​

  • GPS based vehicle location reporting for operational visibility
  • Alarm generation for over speed events, low power states, and geo-fence breaches
  • Remote engine on off control and door status detection features
  • GPRS connectivity with TCP and UDP reporting options plus SMS command support
  • Ability to send data to an IP address or DNS for server integration
  • Mileage calculation for trip and fleet cost monitoring
  • Onboard flash memory for local data storage and retrieval
  • Optional sensors supported including fuel oil level detection and temperature sensor inputs, plus microphone listen in capability

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

Plaspy receives and displays the AVL-05 reporting to provide location, alerts, and historical data in a centralized view. The platform is designed to accept device reports over common transport methods and to present alarms and telemetry in context for operations teams.

  • Device data reported via GPRS or SMS is processed by Plaspy and shown on maps and timelines
  • Geo-fence and over speed alarms can be surfaced as events in Plaspy for immediate review
  • Mileage and stored position history are available for reporting and route analysis inside Plaspy
  • Remote commands supported by the device can be issued through supported Plaspy workflows where applicable
  • Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol and accepts UDP or TCP reporting; devices may be pointed to the Plaspy server domain for integration

Typical Use Cases​

  • Vehicle security and recovery programs for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
  • Taxi and rideshare operations requiring live location and trip mileage tracking
  • Bus and coach fleet oversight with geofence and route monitoring
  • Light truck and delivery fleets tracking fuel level indications and trip history
  • Remote diagnostics and status checks using door and engine on off detection
  • Emergency response workflows using remote engine control and alarm notifications

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Firmware version can enable or disable specific alarms and remote control commands; check firmware release notes
  • Hardware revisions and optional sensor wiring determine whether fuel, temperature, and microphone features are present
  • Installation type and wiring influence door and engine detection accuracy and available remote actions
  • Regional cellular roaming features and SMS behavior depend on local networks and SIM provisioning
  • Manufacturer implementation may change command formats and supported parameters over time

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the AVL-05 with Plaspy centralizes vehicle location, alarm events, and historical mileage into one platform for operational monitoring and reporting. Plaspy presents incoming reports, alerts, and stored device history so managers can act on events, analyze routes, and produce usage summaries without needing separate raw device logs.
