How to protect your car from intruders with the help of devices from Kyivstar, as well as how special gadgets help you learn about the technical condition of your car, determine its location and potential threat, we will tell you in this article.
How to track the location of a vehicle?
Through various applications on smartphones, you can perform many useful actions. Kyivstar has developed a special device that tracks the location of a car via GPS – a car beacon. This is a small device that is easy to hide in the cabin or trunk. The main function of the car beacon is to determine the location of the vehicle with an accuracy of several meters.
The beacon for the car is fully autonomous, the battery lasts four years. The device is manufactured to the IP65 standard – it has a waterproof housing. Washing the interior will not affect the operation of the beacon.
Intruders often use scanners when breaking in to detect surveillance devices. The advantage of the device from Kyivstar is that it cannot be recognized by scanning devices.
The owner tracks the location of the car on a map. Data is transmitted to the owner's smartphone via the special Autotracking application. The frequency of data transmission is set individually. In case the car is stolen, the owner can activate a special "Chase" mode. In this mode, the movement of the car on the map will be visible in real time, i.e., continuous GPS tracking is activated.
In addition to personal cars, GPS trackers are beneficial to install:
- taxi services
- companies renting out cars
- courier services
How to control the condition of a car using a smartphone?
Car owners often worry about their safety in unguarded parking lots. Installing a tracker with an accelerometer will make the car owner's life calmer. To do this, you need to equip the car with an "Autoinformer" from Kyivstar by installing it into the OBD-II port.
The tracker reacts to a car impact, turning the ignition key, changing the tilt angle, and attempts to disconnect it. The device from Kyivstar reports this to the owner in the Autotracking program or via SMS. The security system reacts to all situations that threaten the car and protects it from external influences.
For communication, the informer uses the operator's network. Given that Kyivstar has huge coverage across Ukraine, the distance to the car does not matter. In the device settings, you can specify backup numbers to which notifications are sent when the main number is turned off.
Autotracking is a convenient free application for remote configuration of devices installed in the car. Through it, you can adjust the sensitivity of the accelerometer, track the location of the car, and set time intervals for data transmission.
An excellent solution would be to purchase a set: car tracking together with a car beacon. These products can be ordered on the website shop.kyivstar.ua. In addition, the national operator offers tariffs that are ideal for car tracking devices. The owner only needs to timely top up the balance of the SIM cards installed inside them to ensure uninterrupted operation of the sensors for complete safety of their car.
