The BN-405D is a compact, vehicle-mounted GPS tracker designed for professional fleet management, logistics, construction and public vehicle applications. Plaspy compatible and built for reliable real-time tracking, the BN-405D combines multi-band 4G/3G/2G cellular connectivity with a high-sensitivity GNSS receiver to deliver accurate position, telemetry and alarm reporting across mixed network environments.
Engineered for embedded installation in 12–24V vehicles, the BN-405D provides a comprehensive telematics feature set — from ignition and ACC notifications to remote fuel/power cut and SOS emergency alarms — making it an ideal choice for anti-theft, telemetry-driven fleet optimization and automated vehicle security when integrated with Plaspy.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible: integrates via TCP/UDP or SMS for fast setup with Plaspy server infrastructure and real-time tracking dashboards.
- Multi-band cellular connectivity (4G/3G/2G) for stable coverage and seamless roaming across networks.
- High-precision GNSS with ~5 m typical accuracy and sensitivity to −165 dBm for dependable location reporting.
- Full alarm suite: overspeed, geo-fence, shock, door open, movement, low battery and external power disconnect for strong anti-theft protection.
- Remote control features: fuel/power cut (remote immobilizer via relay), arming/disarming, and remote listening for security response.
- Flexible telemetry and sensor support: optional fuel level, temperature & humidity sensors and up to eight Wi‑Fi cameras for photo/video evidence.
- Vehicle-grade design: embedded mount, compact form factor, backup battery for tamper alerts and wide operating temperature range.
How It Works with Plaspy
Integrating the BN-405D with Plaspy delivers continuous, actionable location and vehicle telemetry to your Plaspy dashboard. The device reports position, status and alarms over TCP/UDP or SMS so Plaspy can display live location, playback historical tracks and trigger automated alerts and workflows for fleet management and anti-theft response.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent to Plaspy using TCP, UDP or SMS transport protocols.
- Ignition/ACC notifications and door/open/shock events enable Plaspy to correlate driving behavior and security events.
- Fuel monitoring (optional) integrates fuel level data into Plaspy for fuel management and theft detection when an external fuel sensor is attached.
- Remote immobilizer and power/fuel cut via relay enable Plaspy-initiated vehicle shutdown for theft prevention and risk control.
- Bluetooth automatic induction supports arming/disarming flows and can be used with Bluetooth sensors to extend Plaspy-triggered automation.
- Remote listening, SOS and photo/video (with optional Wi‑Fi camera) provide evidence capture and emergency response capabilities in Plaspy.
