Piccolo - Model Hybrid+ -Dual Mode GPS Unit for Trailer Tracking

Main Features

• When powered by external power, the Piccolo Hybrid+ operates in real-time vehicle tracking mode sending GPS in high frequency for example every 30 seconds.
• Once power is disconnected, the Piccolo Hybrid+ switches to Asset Tracking (AT) mode sending data 1-2 times a day when parked ( user definable ),when movement/vibration is detected, the Piccolo Hybrid+ will automatically wake up send an alarm and for as long as the vibration continues will switch to report data at a more frequent interval (user-definable ) for example every 30 minutes.
• Auto alert when and where the external power is connected / disconnected.
• Easy to configure separate reporting intervals based on movement.
• When movement/vibrations are detected, the device can be configured to stay awake for the duration of movement and report in real-time.
• GEO Fence mode of operation - the unit can change the frequency of transmitting GPS when entering a pre-configured geo-fence
• Vibration sensor – for automatic security theft alarm and motion detection
• Tow Detection – the unit detects when the vehicle is tilting and/or moving
• When an event is detected, the Piccolo Hybrid+ is programmable to send an SMS alarm to mobile phones together with the current GPS coordinates.
• The current battery level is sent together with every message.
• Easily reconfigure the Piccolo Hybrid+ Over the Air ( OTA) or by sending SMS commands.
• OTA upgrade of new firmware.
• Fast charge from an external standard 12VDC wall charger via a waterproof connector.
• The Piccolo Hybrid+ is not just a hardware product, it`s a complete mobile solution packaged with: UDP or TCP/IP communication, flexible and comprehensive local and OTA user configuration tools, OTA diagnostics and API`s with various sample codes for simple Plug & Play integration into any 3rd party server.
• Extremely low power consumption achieved by innovative battery management to preserve battery life

Easy Installation

• Magnets - For easy installation on metal surfaces
• Two sided 3M Industrial tape- for a strong, permanent attachment
• Piccolo screwed to the asset

Optional Features

• Up to 6 external digital temperature sensors for refrigerated trailers
• 2 Digital Inputs for security alarm and /or status indication
• 1 Analog input
