Queclink Confidential GV500 User Manual 1. Introduction The GV500 is a vehicle tracking device that plugs into a vehicle's OBD II port. It's compact design allows easy installation. Its internal OBD reader can obtain information from the vehicle's on-board computer and relay it over GPRS networks. Its built in GPS receiver has superior sensitivity and fast time to first fix. Its quad band GPRS/GSM subsystem supports 850/900/1800/1900 MHz allowing the GV500's location to be monitored in real time or periodically tracked by a backend server and mobile devices. Its built in 3-axis accelerometer allows motion detection and extended backup battery life through sophisticated power management algorithms. System integration is straightforward as complete documentation is provided for the full featured @Track protocol. The @Track protocol supports a wide variety of reports including; emergency, geo-fence boundary crossings, driver behaviour, low battery or scheduled GPS position and many other useful functions. 1.1.
