The BN-405C is a compact, vehicle-mounted intelligent GPS tracker built for fleet management, logistics and anti-theft applications. As a Plaspy compatible device, the BN-405C delivers reliable real-time tracking, rich telemetry and a broad set of alarm functions so fleets and service vehicles remain visible, safe and under control. Its concealed installation form factor and automotive power support make it ideal for trucks, engineering vehicles and public service fleets.
The BN-405C supports 2G/3G/4G cellular connectivity and standard platform protocols (TCP/UDP/SMS), enabling straightforward integration with Plaspy for live location, event alerts and historical playback. With a high-sensitivity GNSS receiver, backup battery and a wide operating temperature range, the unit is designed for continuous operation in demanding vehicle environments.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible for easy platform integration and real-time tracking across mixed fleets.
- Multi-network cellular support (2G/3G/4G) ensures broad coverage and flexible deployment options.
- High-precision GNSS with ~5 m typical accuracy and fast start times for accurate location and trajectory playback.
- Comprehensive alarm suite: geo-fence, overspeed, movement/shock, door-open, low battery and external power cut alerts.
- Vehicle telemetry and inputs including ACC ignition reporting and remote fuel/power cut control for anti-theft and immobilizer-style functions.
- Optional sensor support (fuel level, temperature/humidity) and up to eight Wi‑Fi cameras for enhanced situational visibility.
- Compact, embed-ready form factor for concealed installation and tamper-resistant mounting.
How It Works with Plaspy
Integrating the BN-405C with Plaspy enables centralized monitoring, alerting and reporting. The tracker transmits GPS coordinates, status messages and alarms over TCP/UDP or SMS using platform-compatible protocols. Plaspy receives these messages to present live location updates, trigger notifications, and store trip history for playback and compliance reporting.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent to Plaspy for live map tracking and fleet dashboards.
- ACC ignition reporting to track engine on/off events and automate driver/route workflows.
- Geo-fence, overspeed and movement/shock alarms for anti-theft and safety monitoring.
- Remote fuel/power cut control and alerting to support immobilizer-style interventions and theft response.
- Support for optional fuel level and temperature/humidity sensors (requires additional sensors) to extend fleet telemetry.
- Audio features (remote listen-in, one-way call) and Wi‑Fi camera integration enable richer incident verification when configured with Plaspy.
