Ctrack has upgraded its self-installed fleet tracking device with a range of features which increase vehicle security and safety.

Ctrack Plug & Play,which is connected to the OBD II diagnostic port, now has improved tracking functionality to identify unauthorised vehicle movement, device tampering, engine issues, poor driving technique and accidents.

The new security features include real-time alerts if the device is unplugged or moved to another vehicle, while any movement without the engine running, such as being loaded on to a transporter or towed away, will also generate an appropriate warning.

It has also been fitted with a battery back-up that allows it to continue tracking for a short period when unplugged from the OBD II diagnostic port.

Meanwhile, the device can now trigger additional alarms for any malfunction indicator lamp notifications and diagnostic trouble codes.

In addition, updated driver behaviour monitoring and crash detection can now identify severe G-force movement, roll-over, over-speeding and excessive idling, while event snapshot recording captures important information for any vehicle crash analysis.

This data is available in a suite of reports which can be previewed on screen, downloaded in Microsoft Excel/PDF or automatically scheduled on a regular basis.
