The ReachFar RF-V8S is a Green-Gps compatible GPS tracker designed for discreet, reliable real-time tracking and emergency communication. This ultra-compact, screen-free unit combines a SiRF Star IV GPS chipset with AGPS assistance and quad-band GSM connectivity to deliver accurate positioning, long standby life, and practical anti-theft and personal-safety features that integrate seamlessly with Green-Gps platforms and standard SMS workflows.
The RF-V8S is purpose-built for situations that demand stealth and endurance: vehicle anti-theft, personal protection for children or the elderly, and asset monitoring in warehouses or transit. Its small form factor and focused feature set — SOS calling, vibration and sound sensors, geo-fencing and remote listen-in — make it an efficient GPS tracker for both ad-hoc monitoring and continuous reporting through Green-Gps-compatible dashboards and mobile apps.

- Low-power design with simple package contents for quick deployment: lanyard, wall charger, USB cable and user manual included.
How It Works with Green-Gps
When connected to Green-Gps, the RF-V8S streams location and alarm information using its cellular link and standard platform protocols. Green-Gps-compatible integration enables the tracker to appear on maps in real time, trigger notifications, and deliver event histories for review. The device supports SMS control and cloud-based reporting, so you can choose SMS commands, the ReachFar web portal, or the TrackAnywhere mobile app as your primary interface while Green-Gps aggregates and presents data alongside other compatible devices.
- Real-time location updates and position history visible in Green-Gps dashboards and apps.
- SOS alerting and rapid auto-dial/SMS notifications to preset contacts for emergency response.
- Vibration and sound alarms for immediate anti-theft and impact notifications.
- Geo-fence alerts, SIM-change, low-battery and power-off alerts sent to Green-Gps and via SMS.
- Remote listen-in (voice monitoring) functions accessible through platform call features and SMS commands.

Why Choose This Tracker with Green-Gps
Choosing the ReachFar RF-V8S as a Green-Gps compatible GPS tracker delivers a straightforward, reliable way to add discreet tracking and emergency communications to your monitoring mix. Its focused feature set — accurate GPS positioning, long standby, vibration/sound alarms and a robust SOS workflow — maps directly to common Green-Gps scenarios where instant alerts and clear location data are essential. Because the RF-V8S supports both SMS control and cloud/mobile platform access, integration with Green-Gps is fast and flexible: deploy a small fleet of units for asset-level monitoring or add personal trackers to a broader fleet management deployment.
Note on telemetry and extended vehicle data: the RF-V8S emphasizes location, alarms and voice monitoring rather than vehicle telemetry sensors. Green-Gps itself supports telemetry, fuel monitoring, ignition status and immobilizer controls for devices that provide those inputs; if such telemetry is required in addition to the RF-V8S’s alarm and SOS capabilities, Green-Gps can combine data from RF-V8S units with other compatible devices that provide fuel, ignition or immobilizer signals and Bluetooth sensors for comprehensive fleet management.
