A GPS Tracking Device Ensures Security for Both the Car and Passengers

Gone are the days when tracking a chauffeur driven car and knowing about the wellbeing of the passengers were impossible tasks. In the present times, advancements in digital technology have led to the emergence of GPS tracking devices that help one meet and tackle the security concerns related to car and its passengers.

Whether the car is for personal or commercial use, the tracking device keeps the owner in contact with the car at all times.

There’s a wide range of GPS vehicle tracking devices available in the market today, this has increased the dilemma of the Indian consumer. To make the best choice, people need to do a lot of research.

However, this quest doesn’t really get over especially with the variety of options available in the market. These options range from a basic vehicle tracking system to the higher-end variant with top-of-the-line specifications. Some basic features must be taken into consideration while buying a GPS car security device.

Here’s a guide on how to choose a GPS device for your car that fits perfectly with your security needs.

#1. Real-Time Tracking

A GPS tracking device should have a real-time monitoring system. That would help in tracking the location of a vehicle when it moves from one point to another. The GPS device is accessible on a smartphone that displays the location of the vehicle on a map, and reveals its speed. Many other versions are available too that tell the user whether the car is parked or moving.

Monitoring the driving behavior gets easy with a GPS tracking device, especially for fleet managers. Moreover, the drivers would remain cautious while driving, knowing that a GPS device is keeping an eye on them.

#2. Trip History

A car owner wondering where his car travels the whole day in his absence can take the help of a GPS system. Such a GPS device should ideally provide the past record of the travel route, with location and time. Higher specifications can provide information like distance travelled, stoppages, and speed details. It would have an interface (mostly map) showing the past route details along with information about the vehicle’s movement. Issues like overdrive stretches and over speeding can be effectively addressed with the help of this device. It is helpful to both fleet owners and car owners that use chauffeurs.

#3. Alerts/ Notifications

Notifications confirming the arrival and departure of the vehicles or the passengers can be very useful at times. These notifications alleviate the concerns of family members, the vehicle itself, delivery of goods, etc. This is possible with a GPS device installed in a vehicle that offers prompt and accurate notifications.

The GPS tracking device should also be embedded with features like over-speeding alert, route deviation alert, and excessive stoppage alert. This would help monitor the driver’s behavior and vehicle usage.

#4. Access: Anytime, Anywhere

In this digitally connected world, people want information on their fingertips. Therefore, it would be good to invest in a vehicle tracking device that is accessible on a smartphone. The anytime, anywhere access on a user-friendly app would help keep the user abreast with real-time updates of their vehicle’s movement. This aspect brings relief, especially to the discerning parent who wants to track their chauffeur-driven cars that are carrying their children.

#5. Geo-fencing

A geo-fencing feature in a GPS based vehicle tracking device takes it to the next level. A user can create a virtual boundary around a place on the map, which led to the use of the term ‘geo-fencing.’ As soon as the car crosses the boundary, an alert is sent through the app, which helps in precise monitoring of the vehicle.

Choosing a GPS device would definitely get easy if these points are adhered to before making a purchase.
