Smart Tracker Solution for QuecPython

中文 | English

Introduction to Smart Tracker

Overview

• Smart tracker
• Terminal device functions meet the majority of requirements in tracker application scenarios
• The visual operation platform and the mobile APP make device management and data viewing more convenient.

Functions

• Multi-technology positioning, geo-fence alarm, danger alarm, SOS alarm reporting, audio monitoring, recording, historical track playback, remote control, etc.
• Smart positioning
  • The system utilizes 4G communication/multi-technology positioning/distributed services to provide a one-stop solution from end to service for the smart tracker industry.
• All-platform support
  • The device operation platform and mobile APP have all-round functions, enabling terminal device manufacturers to quickly manage devices and end users without the need to build your own service platforms.
• Reliable and stable
  • The terminal device has high positioning accuracy, high sensitivity to danger perception, low power consumption, and stable operation. Terminal device manufacturers can develop customized solutions directly based on the public version, greatly shortening the hardware development cycle.

Features

• Intelligent perception, recognition, and reporting of location information and danger alarms.
• Support integration with various IoT platforms such as Alibaba IoT Platform, ThingsBoard, and other private services.
• Secondary development with QuecPython to formulate modular and customizable solutions, thus shortening development cycles.
• Visual operation platform and mobile APP to control terminal devices.

Applications

• Vehicle tracking
• Logistics and transportation
• People tracking
• Electronic student ID card
• Pet tracking
• Special industries (agricultural irrigation, rare species monitoring, etc.)

Quectel Smart Tracker and Capabilities

Capabilities

• Support multiple platforms such as Alibaba IoT Platform, ThingsBoard, and private service platforms (Only Alibaba IoT Platform and ThingsBoard are supported currently, while others are under development)
• Support local and remote parameter configuration
• Support OTA upgrades
• Support offline data storage
  • For unstable network connections, data that fails to be sent will be temporarily stored locally and prioritized for transmission to the server when the network is restored.
  • The amount of data stored offline can be configured through a configuration file.
• Support common sensors and input devices
  • Sensors
    • Ambient light sensor
    • Three-axis acceleration sensor
    • Temperature and humidity sensor
    • ...
  • Input devices
    • Microphone
    • ...
