The HB-A7 is a compact, low-power GPS tracker built for professional fleet management and vehicle asset tracking. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the HB-A7 delivers reliable real-time tracking and robust telemetry for mixed fleets where stability and extensible I/O matter. Its 2G/3G cellular options and GPS/BDS positioning make the device suitable for regional deployments that require continuous location updates, alarms and remote control functions.
Designed for demanding vehicle environments, the HB-A7 integrates easily with Plaspy to provide anti-theft protections, remote immobilization, fuel monitoring and event-driven alerts. With serial expansion ports and multiple inputs/outputs, the HB-A7 supports a broad set of external accessories — from RFID readers and cameras to fuel and temperature sensors — enabling tailored telematics solutions for logistics, buses, taxis and rental fleets.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker that enables reliable real-time tracking and historical track playback for fleet management.
- Dual GNSS (GPS/BDS) positioning with high sensitivity for stable fix performance in varied environments.
- Flexible 2G/3G cellular connectivity options to match regional network requirements and ensure broad coverage.
- Multiple I/O and two RS232 serial ports for integration with fuel level sensors, temperature probes, cameras and RFID systems.
- Remote immobilization (relay control) and audio snapshot capability for enhanced anti-theft response and incident verification.
- Comprehensive alarm set including ACC/ignition detection, overspeed, SOS and power-cut/low-voltage alerts.
- Compact, rugged form factor (IP54) with wide operating voltage and a built-in backup battery for continued reporting after power loss.
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to the Plaspy platform, the HB-A7 streams location and telemetry data securely and in near real time. Plaspy ingests GPS/BDS positions, sensor telemetry and status events from the tracker to power live maps, rule-based alerts and fleet reports. Integrators benefit from the HB-A7’s serial ports and I/O lines to extend Plaspy capabilities with third-party sensors and peripherals.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (position, speed, heading) sent to Plaspy for live tracking and route visualization.
- Ignition/ACC status and digital input events support driver behavior monitoring and automated workflows inside Plaspy.
- Fuel monitoring and analog sensor telemetry (0–33V AD inputs) can be mapped into Plaspy dashboards for fuel consumption analysis.
- Remote immobilizer/relay control allows operators to perform anti-theft actions via Plaspy when a vehicle is compromised.
- Photo snapshot and audio monitoring events (external microphone/camera integration) supply verification media to Plaspy incident logs.
