- Comprehensive alarms and telemetry: SOS, overspeed, movement, door open, ACC ignition, shock, low battery and geofence alerts.
- Remote control features: remote voice monitor (listen-in), remote fuel/power cut-off for immobilization and emergency intervention.
- Smart reporting and power management: motion/stationary reporting modes plus smart sleep to conserve vehicle power while maintaining alerting.
- Robust vehicle fit: compact enclosure, built-in backup battery and external antenna support for stable in-vehicle installation.
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the BN-103A streams GNSS fixes and telemetry over TCP/UDP/SMS so dispatchers and managers see live locations and event-driven alerts. Plaspy ingests the device’s position, alarm statuses and configurable inputs to generate dashboards, reports and automated notifications. This creates a single view for fleet management, anti-theft response and operational analytics.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent via TCP/UDP/SMS for immediate display in Plaspy.
- Ignition (ACC), door and alarm status reported to Plaspy for event playback and rule-based notifications.
- Optional fuel monitoring: fuel level queries and fuel-detection alarms available when an external fuel sensor is connected.
- Remote immobilizer capability through remote fuel or power cut-off commands issued via Plaspy.
- Integration of Bluetooth sensors: Plaspy can combine BN-103A telemetry with Bluetooth sensor data if your installation includes a BLE gateway or compatible accessory.
