The NR100 OBD GPS Tracker is a compact OBD-II plug-in GPS tracker designed for Vista GPS compatible deployments that need reliable real-time tracking and fleet management. With dual GPS and LBS positioning, built-in GPS/GSM antennas and a SiRF GPS receiver, the NR100 delivers continuous location updates, configurable reporting intervals, and immediate alerting for overspeed, power-cut and geo-fence events — all easily integrated into the Vista GPS platform for centralized monitoring and reporting.
Easy to install and maintain, the NR100 is optimized for commercial fleets, service vehicles and security applications where fast deployment and discreet installation matter. The unit supports SMS and Internet reporting, remote audio monitoring and remote self-failure analysis, providing fleet managers with the telemetry and situational awareness needed to reduce theft, improve route efficiency and manage driver behavior through Vista GPS’s dashboards and alerting.
Key Highlights
- Vista GPS compatible for real-time tracking and centralized fleet management via Internet or SMS.
- Dual positioning (GPS + LBS) for improved coverage in urban and marginal-signal environments.
- Plug-and-play OBD-II form factor for fast installation without vehicle disassembly.
- Configurable reporting intervals by time or distance to balance accuracy and data usage.
- Immediate alerts: overspeed, power-cut and geo-fence notifications to support anti-theft workflows.
- Remote audio monitor and self-failure analysis for security and device health assurance.
- Compact, robust design with wide operating temperature and humidity tolerances for demanding fleet operations.
How It Works with Vista GPS
When connected to Vista GPS, the NR100 becomes a Vista GPS compatible GPS tracker that streams location and event data to the platform for real-time tracking, historical playback and automated reporting. Vista GPS ingests telemetry and alert messages from the tracker, visualizes trips on maps, and triggers notifications or workflows used by fleet managers and security teams.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via GSM/3G and GPS (dual GPS + LBS positioning).
- Power-cut and overspeed alerts sent to Vista GPS for immediate incident handling.
- Geo-fence notifications and configurable alerts for perimeter and route compliance monitoring.
- Audio monitor feature accessible through Vista GPS workflows for remote listening where permitted by law.
- Fuel monitoring and ignition-based reports: the OBD-II interface provides vehicle telemetry that Vista GPS can use for fuel and ignition reporting when the vehicle’s OBD data supports those PIDs.
- Remote immobilizer capability can be implemented using the optional relay accessory to execute engine cut-off workflows through Vista GPS (relay sold separately/optional).
- Vista GPS’s platform also supports external Bluetooth sensors; use the NR100’s OBD-II telemetry together with Vista GPS’s BLE-enabled devices for combined solutions where required.
