How It Works with Plaspy
Integration with Plaspy is straightforward: the BN-401B sends location and alarm data to Plaspy’s servers via TCP, UDP or SMS transport. Plaspy consumes those messages to provide real-time tracking, alerts and historical reporting. You can rely on its reported telemetry—GPS position, ACC ignition status and alarm events—to trigger Plaspy workflows such as immobilization commands, Geo-fence notifications and track playback.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy over 4G networks.
- ACC ignition alarm and ACC working notifications to authorized numbers for ignition-based events.
- Low-battery and external power disconnect alarms to notify Plaspy and users of power issues.
- Remote immobilizer via remote fuel/power cut capability for coordinated anti-theft action through Plaspy.
- Bluetooth configuration for local setup; app-based monitoring and track playback through Plaspy-enabled workflows.
