VisionTek - 87VTU
The VisionTek 87VTU is a vehicle tracking unit that combines a built in GPS receiver engine, quad band GSM modem, and a modern microprocessor to collect and transmit position, date, time, and direction information. The device includes inbuilt flash memory, an internal battery, a USB port for configuration and firmware upload, a serial port, digital and analog inputs and outputs, a tamper switch, a hard reset button, a 3D motion sensor, and LED status indicators. Designed for durability, the 87VTU is housed in an IP65 plastic enclosure with internal antennas and provision for external antenna connections.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the 87VTU can be used to feed vehicle location and status data into the Plaspy platform for centralized monitoring and reporting. Its built in data storage and store and forward history capability, along with geofence, sleep mode, fall back SMS, OTA commands, and remote firmware update features, make it well suited for fleet and asset tracking workflows managed through Plaspy. This page summarizes how the 87VTU typically fits into a Plaspy deployment and what organizations can expect when using the tracker for operational visibility.
Key Highlights
- Integrated GPS and quad band GSM for wide area tracking and communication
- Built in flash memory and store and forward capability to retain history when connectivity is intermittent
- 3D motion sensor to help reduce unnecessary transmissions during inactivity
- USB port and OTA support for device configuration and remote firmware updates
- Tamper switch and multiple LED indicators for basic security and device health visibility
- IP65 enclosure with internal antennas and option for external antenna for improved reception
How It Works with Plaspy
The 87VTU sends positional and status packets that Plaspy can ingest for live location, event processing, and historical reporting. Plaspy uses incoming data from the unit to present maps, alerts, and reports that help operations monitor vehicles and assets.
- Live location tracking and direction display within Plaspy dashboards and maps
- Geofence monitoring and alerting based on the tracker’s geofence configuration
- Event and status capture such as tamper alerts, motion changes, and device health indicated by LEDs
- Historical playback using the device store and forward history for route reconstruction and reporting
- Remote commands and configuration delivered from Plaspy to the device using OTA functionality where supported
Typical Use Cases
- Fleet management for trucks, vans, and delivery vehicles requiring position and status oversight
- Emergency and ambulance vehicle tracking to monitor response movement and routes
- Taxi and cab operations for centralized dispatch and trip logging
- Logistics and distribution monitoring for route compliance and history tracking
- Asset tracking for boats and light marine vessels where IP65 protection and internal antennas are desirable
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The 87VTU is a feature rich tracker that balances robust hardware with software capabilities useful to fleet and asset operators. Its combination of onboard memory, motion based reporting, and remote update support helps maintain continuity of tracking data and reduces operational overhead when devices need configuration or firmware updates. The IP65 enclosure and antenna options make it practical for a range of vehicle and light marine applications.
When paired with Plaspy, the 87VTU provides a practical source of location, motion, and status data that Plaspy can convert into operational insights, alerts, and historical reports. Organizations considering this model should evaluate the 87VTU alongside Plaspy to confirm it meets specific telemetry and management needs based on their operational priorities.
