How It Works with Vista GPS
Integration with Vista GPS is straightforward: the BN-401B sends location and alarm data to Vista GPS’s servers via TCP, UDP or SMS transport. Vista GPS consumes those messages to provide real-time tracking, alerts and historical reporting. You can rely on its reported telemetry—GPS position, ACC ignition status and alarm events—to trigger Vista GPS workflows such as immobilization commands, Geo-fence notifications and track playback.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Vista GPS over 4G networks.
- ACC ignition alarm and ACC working notifications to authorized numbers for ignition-based events.
- Low-battery and external power disconnect alarms to notify Vista GPS and users of power issues.
- Remote immobilizer via remote fuel/power cut capability for coordinated anti-theft action through Vista GPS.
- Bluetooth configuration for local setup; app-based monitoring and track playback through Vista GPS-enabled workflows.
