The BN-407 GPS tracker is a compact, 4G bicycle management terminal purpose-built for concealed installation inside frames. As a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker, the BN-407 brings reliable real-time tracking, motion telemetry and configurable geo-fence alerts to mountain bikes, shared fleets and personal bicycles—delivering discreet anti-theft protection and clear ride histories without altering a bike’s appearance.
Designed for low-power operation and practical field use, the BN-407 supports live location updates, track playback and alarm reporting over LTE/GPRS. Its inductive magnetic key and smart positioning strategies make it ideal for fleet management, children's ride supervision and anti-theft use cases where long battery life, precise positioning and easy Plaspy integration matter.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible device for real-time tracking and telemetry tailored to bicycles and small assets.
- 4G/LTE & GPRS network support with regional band variants for global deployment and reliable connectivity.
- Multiple movement and safety alarms — shock, movement, overspeed, low battery and geo-fence notifications.
- Concealed, frame-embedded form factor (Ø35×160 mm, 50 g) for discreet anti-theft installation.
- Rechargeable 3.7V 700 mAh battery with USB 5V charging and low-power modes to extend runtime.
- Smart positioning strategy: offline while stationary, immediate reporting on calls, SMS or alarms to conserve battery.
- Supports TCP/UDP/SMS transport for flexible integration into Plaspy and other back-end platforms.
How It Works with Plaspy
The BN-407 integrates with Plaspy to deliver continuous location intelligence and event-driven alerts. Position and telemetry are sent over LTE/GPRS using TCP, UDP or SMS; Plaspy ingests that data to provide real-time tracking, history playback and rule-based notifications. The device’s alarm outputs and motion detection allow Plaspy to trigger anti-theft workflows and fleet management reports instantly.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live tracking and historical playback.
- Alarm reporting — low battery, shock, movement, overspeed and geo-fence — mapped to Plaspy alerts and workflows.
- Smart offline/online behavior: conserves battery when stationary and wakes for calls, SMS or alarms, ensuring timely reporting.
- Inductive (magnetic) key arming/disarming recognized by the device and reported through Plaspy for secure on/off control.
- TCP/UDP/SMS transport compatibility allows Plaspy to handle devices in different network environments and regions.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The BN-407 pairs compact hardware with Plaspy’s platform to provide a focused solution for bicycle tracking and management. Its concealed installation, low weight and smart power strategies reduce tampering and maximize uptime—key benefits for anti-theft and fleet management scenarios. With multi-band 4G support and robust GNSS performance, the BN-407 delivers reliable real-time tracking and telemetry into Plaspy for immediate alerts, historical playback and operational reporting.
Although the BN-407 is optimized for bicycle telemetry rather than vehicle fuel monitoring or BLE peripheral data, it is an effective Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for organizations and individuals who need precise location, configurable alarm rules and straightforward integration. For deployments requiring consolidated telemetry including fuel monitoring or Bluetooth sensors, Plaspy can ingest and correlate data from complementary devices alongside BN-407 units to create a complete fleet or asset management solution.
