The Most Advanced And Affordable GPS And Internet Based Vehicle Tracking System In The Philippines
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
What is PHILTRACK?
PHILTRACK installs a small device no larger than a thin pocketbook in your vehicle.
It comes with 2 discrete low profile antennas which are placed INSIDE the vehicle.
This device connects to the GPS satellites overhead and to a local cellular company.
Vehicle coordinates and information is read from the satellite every 3 1/2 minutes and this is sent to the PHILTRACK servers which store the information for 30 days.
Our clients can then log in from ANY internet connected computer and track their vehicles visually on the map.
They can log in as much as they please and they can have several simultaneous logins at no additional cost.
What can I see (or hear) with the PHILTRACK Standard Package?
Above is a typical PHILTRACK screen which is just one among the many different screens and reports available to our clients AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.
The pushpins represent the ACTUAL track of the vehicle. The color of the pushpins vary depending on the speed of the vehicle.
RED - Stopped or less than 5 mph
YELLOW - More than 5 mph
GREEN - More than 15 mph
So gone are the days when your driver can lie and say " I was caught in traffic" when he was actually parked somewhere else.
Speaking of parked, PHILTRACK provides our clients at no additional cost, a cell phone number for EACH tracking device. You see each tracking device comes standard with a very sensitive microphone and when you call that number, you can listen in on whats happening inside the vehicle.
Going on to the other features, since our system stores data for 30 days, you can review all the trips made by the subject vehicle in that time. Anytime the vehicle moves, you will know WHEN, WHERE it went and HOW FAST it was going.
Also, since the maps of PHILTRACK are well detailed, you can tell your clients who are waiting for the deliveries, just where your vehicle is.
Your driver got lost? No problem with PHILTRACK and its detailed map. You can tell your driver exactly where to turn and how far they are from their destination.
So in summary what can you see / hear with the PHILTRACK STANDARD PACKAGE?
- the exact vehicle location updated every 3.5 minutes.
- the heading - direction the vehicle was traveling.
- the speed of the vehicle.
- the actual path / trip made by the vehicle over the last 30 days.
- the time spent idle or parked in a certain location.

'One Stop' Subscription Plans
For 'One Stop' subscription plans our AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) devices in the vehicle automatically send position data in a preset time interval of usually 3.5 minutes together with additional information like sensor readings or alerts.
'Super Saver' plans are dynamic and only report when the vehicle is driving or otherwise active. Activity is detected by a tremble sensor. If the vehicle is parked, data sending is suspended to reduce costly continuous submission of the same location data. It is shown in the reports when parking started and driving resumed.
'Security/All Day' plans report 24/7 regardless of the state the vehicle is in. This may be necessary for higher security concerns or more economical for vehicles that operate around the clock without holidays or major break times.
