Autonomous GPS plotter
Definition
a autonomous GPS tracker is a geolocation device that does not need to be connected to an energy source to operate. It therefore has a rechargeable battery. Like any GPS tracker or mini GPS tracker, it is part of a geolocation system that includes the tracker and an application.
Autonomous GPS tracker specificity
The battery life of a beacon depends in large part on the capacity of its battery. Depending on the model, some GPS beacons recharge only every 365 days, while others have a more moderate range of about 30, 20, 12 or 5 days. This duration varies depending on the type of tag. A passive tracer does not consume much energy because it only sends reports when a user requests it.
An active beacon is poor in autonomy, because it regularly draws on the load. Some GPS beacons have features designed to optimize usage time and space the frequency of refills as much as possible. This is, among other things, a monitoring system. The tag is programmed to send reports at regular and accurate intervals.
use
The autonomous GPS trackers are required for long-term, not one-time use. This is the case when used to locate a vehicle in the event of theft. Thanks to a magnet, tracers can be glued to any metal surface without being seen by the thief.
It is also used to track and/or locate a person, animal or object without the possibility of recharging. For example, GPS trackers for cats and dogs, spy tracers that should be hidden (during spinning).
