SmartPT02 is a small and powerful GPS/GSM/GPRS online monitoring device

SmartPT02 is a small and powerful GPS/GSM/GPRS online monitoring device developed and constructed specifically for personal use e.g. for the purpose of emergency calls with simultaneous location reporting or monitoring of the movement of persons, but also for monitoring the movement of vehicles or other means of transport. SmartPT is versatile. Location detection can be done automatically or manually via SMS messages or GPRS internet connection. Device configuration, internal memory recordings, and firmware updates can be performed remotely. Multi-vehicle tracking can be managed through a custom server application, such as up to 20 vehicles on a regular PC with an Internet connection. This solution will ensure continuous monitoring of vehicles in your company at the cost of credit on a prepaid GSM card. With such a concept, you do not pay any flat fees and for 20Sk you can monitor the driving of one vehicle more than 1000km. As the first device on the market, SmartPT directly supports operating with a regular prepaid SIM card and can guard the credit level.

The main features of the SmartPT02:

• Triband GSM - supported frequencies 900/1800/1900 MHz (optional for GSM 850)

SmartPT02 Control Center:

SmartPT02 Control Center is an application developed specifically for SmartPT02 devices. This is actually a TCP server that, when started, organizes communication with several SmartPT02 devices on the selected network port (e.g. 1050). Each device connects to this port and shares the necessary information after configuring via USB cable or SMS message. SmartPT02 Control Center is suitable for operation under normal 'office' conditions. This means that you just run the server on an ordinary PC (with WinXP/2000 OS) with an Internet connection and you can run your own server to monitor company vehicles. For non-stop monitoring (with an archive of rides), it is advisable to use the additional service "static IP address" and ensure the continuous operation of the computer, or automatic system restore for example after a power failure.

To view in map handouts:

You can use Google's free services to view your location on map handouts, and you can use a few of them. One option is to use Google Earth, which can update the locations of monitored vehicles displayed in aerial and satellite images at set time intervals, the other in the Google Maps internet app. Directly in the map documents you also have an overview of which of the vehicles are currently standing (red mark) that are moving (green mark) and also about vehicles that have connection problems (yellow mark) for example, in non-GPRS coverage or abroad without roaming activated. In such cases, all data is stored in smartpt02 internal memory and additionally sent to the server when the connection is established.

The server processes and evaluates all received information in real time. The outputs are fully compatible with the KML syntax currently supported by many applications. This makes it possible to track movement or browse your driving logs in Google Earth, but also in google maps (including the Java version of the mobile app). To take advantage of all the capabilities and functions of the system, it is ideal to operate a Webserver (e.g. Apache) on the system together with smartpt02 server, or MySQL server for recording rides. Internet connection requirements are, for example, some of the standard DSL connections and the additional service Static IP Address. With such equipment, you can monitor up to 20-30 vehicles 20-30 24/7, without a significant occupancy of the line capacity. You can also view or view archives from any computer connected to the Internet, as well as from your mobile phone.

Google Earth vs. Google Maps:

Google Earth provides a view in satellite images overlapped with vector map bases. Google Maps also allows viewing on full-fledged vector maps, which are already reaching street level in many Slovak cities. The advantage of Google Earth is the ability to track the movement of vehicles in real time (the update interval is 5 seconds), the disadvantage is the lack of the ability to switch satellite image mode to map mode. Google Maps can view the current location (as well as recorded routes) in a classic map, satellite image, and in combination, but they can't automatically update your location. However, you can use them without installing them on any computer with an Internet connection.

Google Maps on your mobile phone:

It is also an interesting option to track the current location of vehicles, persons, or other monitored objects directly on your mobile phone. Google provides a free app called Google Maps suitable for almost all mobile phones that support JAVA and GPRS. After launch, just select a group of monitored vehicles. The app retrieves their current locations with speed data, along with the necessary maps to the phone's memory. The user then has the option to switch between the keys 1 and 3 between each object and zoom freely to the map to the street level. You can also switch the map mode to satellite image mode that you know from Google Earth. Google Maps works on a range of mobile phones, from low-end models from Nokia and Samsung, to all common JAVA-enabled mobile phones to high-end communicators.

What SIM card to use for SmartPT02:

SmartPT02 is an online monitoring device, which is used to transfer data to a GPRS server to connect to a GSM network. Since the concept of our system is to monitor vehicles without flat-rate charges, we have chosen as the best alternative the use of prepaid cards in Telefonica's O2 network. Gprs service is available at a bargain price immediately after activation. And since SmartPT02, as the only device on the market, allows remote credit control (or alerts if your credit falls below the set level), you can operate your monitoring system without any flat-rate charges
