I assume you are interested to install a GPS tracking device in your car as a security feature.

If so, then there are several types but can be grouped into two. The first involves a "command center" where they help to track and recover (involving the police, of course) your car, and the second has no involvement of any "command center".

The first is such as Connex, Captor, and imob. Just use google "GPS tracker malaysia".

The second is such as Tramigo. Again, use Google. There are several places that sells this device. One such place is Midvalley (a shop specialising more in Audio equipment) and another at a shop at Makhota Cheras (near Jusco there) -- use google.

Both GPS types have advantages and disadvantages, but I believe the first type is better as they cooperate with the police to track your car. The second means you are on your own, and the police will (at least initially) think you are humouring them when you tell them you have a tracking device in your car and you actually do know the location of your stolen car at that moment.

Hope this helps.

Personally, I would go for those that have a "command center". I believe Captor to be the cheapest (about RM2400 up front and RM200 per year, with first year free). RM200 per year might seem a lot, but it is actually less than RM1 a day for a better piece of mind that if your car gets stolen, there is a better chance you can get it back.

Connex is more expensive. The cheapest package, I think, is about RM3000 with an annual fee of RM400. I am not sure about imob, though the price is probably about that range of RM3000-4000 and annual fee of RM200-400.

Tramingo (without command center) sells about RM1400, I think. However, you have to get a phone SIM card for the Tramigo because the Tramingo will need that to contact your phone. This means you are looking at monthly charges for that SIM card -- in the end (in the long run), Tramingo would actually be more expensive than Captor or Connex. Besides, getting a Tramingo means you have to install it yourself. You can hide it under your seat, but you may need an external antenna (a giveaway to the car thief that you have a GPS device inside the car and he will go after it once he's inside your car).

I forgot to add that some people are uncomfortable with GPS systems with command center because they feel they can be snooped at. For example, the people at command center can track where you have been and how long you were there. I am sure there are strict regulations at GPS companies that would have severe consequences for staff misusing their position, but I am sure such abuses do occur.

Anyway, unless you are some pop star or someone with many top secret activities, I think GPS services that come with command center is a good trade-off between security and privacy.

It is also interesting to note that I have been told that some people use the GPS services to track their spouses whereabouts!

TK102 GPS Tracker Geofence Automatic Daily Setup Without Request ? (wihout having to send a sms everyday to set the alarm/alert)



Hello,

I am sorry if it is not the correct place to ask but I am new to GPS tracking and have bought a TK102 GPS tracker

I setup geofence and get SMS when the tracker moves.

But I have to send a SMS everyday to setup the alert because once the GPS tracker has moved (and when I get the alert) the alert system is diasbled until the next time I set it.

Do you know any device or how I could automatically set an alarm everyday, for example from 8am to 8pm ?

Once a day I would like to get an SMS if the GPS tracker has moved during that time. But I don't want to request this function as I might forget to send the SMS to request.


Thank you for your help.
