- One of the primary reasons for installing vehicle tracking devices is to know the exact location of the vehicle. In order to track vehicles, a technology known as GPS or global positioning system is used. In this technology, an electronic device is installed in the vehicle that transmits tracking signals to a remote user. These signals are sent via satellite transmitters that provide coordinates about the location of the vehicle. The remote user can see the location of the vehicle on maps or through a designated software that comes with the installation kit.
- GPS tracking devices are of two kinds; active and passive. Active devices are real-time tracking devices that provide real-time information about the vehicle. Whereas, passive devices store information about the vehicle that can be retrieved at later stages. Depending on the need, you can use either active or passive tracking device. Mostly, companies dealing in managing fleet of vehicles use active devices as they need to keep a tab on the vehicles real time. Personal car owners can use passive devices as they do not require information of the vehicle real time.
