Concox - VL505

The VL505 by an established device manufacturer is an ultra-compact, plug-and-play 4G OBD-II GNSS GPS tracker that is Plaspy compatible and built for both private cars and commercial fleets. Designed for effortless installation via the vehicle’s OBD-II port, the VL505 delivers continuous real-time tracking and rich telemetry over LTE Cat 1, making it a practical choice for fleet management, anti-theft monitoring, and usage-based insurance programs that require reliable positioning and actionable alerts.

With multi-source positioning (GPS, BDS, A-GPS and LBS), onboard accelerometer and microphone, and support for remote configuration via SMS or cloud platforms such as Tracksolid Pro, the VL505 provides a compact but capable solution to feed Plaspy with accurate location, movement events and configurable alerts. Its small footprint and low power draw simplify deployment across large fleets while maintaining regulatory certifications (FCC, CE) and stable cellular connectivity through regional VL505-NA and VL505-EU variants.

Key Highlights

• Plug-and-play OBD-II installation for fast deployment and reliable vehicle power, ideal for fleet management rollouts.
• LTE Cat 1 connectivity for stable, low-latency data transmission to Plaspy and other cloud platforms.
• Multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, BDS, A-GPS, LBS) with high accuracy <2.5 m CEP for dependable real-time tracking.
• Comprehensive alert set: geofence entry/exit, vibration, speeding/over-speed, power disconnection, GPS blind spot and driving behavior events.
• Onboard microphone and accelerometer for remote voice monitoring (≤5 m) and collision/DBA detection.
• Small internal backup battery and compact form factor enable discreet installation and temporary logging if power is interrupted.
• eSIM support and LED indicators for easier provisioning and operational status checks during installation.

How It Works with Plaspy

When integrated with Plaspy, the VL505 streams GPS and telemetry data over LTE Cat 1 to provide real-time tracking, alerts and historical reports. Plaspy ingests position updates, movement events and device alerts so fleet managers can monitor vehicles on a live map, trigger notifications, and generate analytics for safety and operational efficiency. Where vehicle OBD-II PIDs are available and the VL505/vehicle support them, Plaspy can also consolidate additional telemetry such as ignition status and fuel-related parameters to enrich reports and dashboards.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates (GPS/BDS/A-GPS/LBS) to Plaspy for reliable tracking and replay.
• Event alerts delivered to Plaspy: geofence entry/exit, unexpected vibration, speeding, power supply disconnection/pull-out and GPS blind spot notifications.
• Driving behavior analytics (harsh acceleration, harsh braking, harsh cornering, collision detection) surfaced inside Plaspy for safety monitoring and coaching.
• Onboard microphone and accelerometer events available to Plaspy for incident investigation and remote voice monitoring (≤5 m reporting range).
• Temporary edge logging (up to 400 GPS entries) ensures no immediate data loss during short connectivity interruptions before Plaspy syncs historical points.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management and real-time dispatching — track vehicle location, monitor driver behavior and optimize routing with Plaspy dashboards.
• Vehicle anti-theft and recovery — geofence triggers and power-disconnection alerts help detect unauthorized movement and enable rapid response.
• Usage-based insurance (UBI) — capture driving behavior metrics (harsh braking/acceleration/cornering) to support risk scoring and premiums.
• Driver safety and compliance — use collision detection and behavior analytics to coach drivers, reduce incidents and lower operating costs.
• Private vehicle monitoring and family fleet oversight — discreet, easy installation for continuous location sharing and safety alerts.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
