Fit an OPS Track GPS tracker in a customer's vehicle so they can see it live and get theft alerts.
Overview
Trackers report position over OPS Mobile. With no signal the unit stores positions and sends them later. Mini units plug into a fuse tap; Pro units are hard-wired with external antennas, a backup battery, ignition/door inputs and an immobiliser relay. The job is checked by a tracker you installed after accepting.
The equipment — and what it does
Plug-and-play unit on a fuse tap, internal antennas, no backup battery.
/towers → OPS Track → Install a tracker, sitting in the vehicle.
Hard-wired with antennas, 48 h backup battery, inputs and immobiliser.
