GPS trackers are the eyes of the system administrator

look through Habr, I haven't found many articles about GPS trackers. One article tells about the types of protocols, someone describes the device tracker from the "electronic" point of view, while others simply advertise a particular manufacturer. In this article I want to describe some of the models with whom I have worked.

I will Express only its point of view, and to judge the trackers according to the following criteria:
— the availability of manuals and firmware;
— the adequacy of technical support;
— easy and flexible configuration;
— % of marriage and total reliability;

I can't say anything about the price and the representation in different countries, only the bare technical facts. Vision eyes system administrator, whose responsibilities include firmware, configuration, monitoring and error correction.

WONDE PROUD
As far as I remember, it is the first manufacturer with the trackers I have encountered, and still consider them one of the most reliable. Company from Taiwan. Know offices that sell trackers from Wonde Proud a under their own labels, which again speaks to the high quality of the products.

For two years, only a couple of times faced with the fact that the device has failed. Not helped reconfigure flashing. On the hardware level (which component has failed), we do not provide repair, specialist of this level is not, and the hands themselves do not grow to the point.

No own Configurator, configured in two ways:

the
    the
  • with the help of SMS commands;
    • the
  • with telnet'a (hyperterminal, pytty);

The manual is clear and very detailed. For minimum configuration, it is sufficient to send the two teams:

$WP+UNCFG+FREE=0000,0123456789

Very pleased with the two models: VT-10, tracker for concealed installation M7.

Tracker VT-10 sometimes freezes. This happens very rarely, but still. Treated by banal reboot:

the 
$WP+REBOOT=0000

Because of what is happening, to find out and failed. It's not the firmware, not the settings. Obviously, some external factors. M7 is also a very decent piece of hardware, the type of installation and the capacity of the battery (very powerful magnet with a force of 12 kg, 5200 mAh capacity protection IP67), counterparts don't know.

ARUSNAVI
And these guys from Russia. We have our own manufacture, produce themselves, GPS trackers, accessories, and fuel level sensors (Fuel Level Sensor).

All the information is on the website: the driver for the device, user guide and Configurator.
To configure the device in two ways:

the
    the
  • to Set in a personal account and send the tracker SMS confirmation;
    • the
  • to connect the device to the computer and set up in the Configurator;

Flashed the device via USB, or remotely through a personal account and SMS confirmation.

the ELSE
In a few cases we encountered manufacturers: Meitrack, Queclink, etc. unfortunately, with them tightly didn't work, nothing in fact can not say.

I hope this information is useful. Can write in more detail about the firmware and configuration of the individual models.

Thank you for your attention.

I wonder the opportunities offered by component MIGX from Bruno17 for MODX Revolution . While he looks clumsy and there are mistakes, but the critical problem. All that is written in this article important for MIGX version 2.5.8-pl (the latter at the moment). / > Many people use MIGX for creating photo galleries , but its functionality is not limited. A real designer to manage data of any database tables. You can even display a list of child resources (documents of MODX) in any container. This will be discussed in this article. Something I learned from documentation MIGDB but, as I understand, it is already rather outdated and much of what is described there simply doesn't work. I will tell you how to make a table with nested resources: 1. Open "Components" -> "MIGX". Go to the tab "MIGX". Click "Add item". 2. On the "Settings" tab to enter a name (Name) of the configuration, for example "ch
