AutoFon - Маяк 4.5

The AutoFon Mayak 4.5 is a compact, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed for long-term, low-maintenance location monitoring. Built for discreet installation in vehicles, trailers, boats, cargo and on people or animals, the Mayak 4.5 combines GPS accuracy (LEADTEK 9101) with GSM connectivity (QUECTEL M10) to report position via SMS and to send interval GPRS packets to a selected monitoring server. Its long battery life, motion detection and remote audio monitoring make it a practical choice for anti-theft, covert tracking and safety applications where minimal maintenance and reliable alerts are essential.

Plaspy compatibility is straightforward: the Mayak 4.5 can be set to push location and telemetry to a monitoring server over GPRS (interval-mode) or to provide immediate SMS-based reports to authorized numbers. That makes it simple to add this GPS tracker to Plaspy-based real-time tracking dashboards, alarms and reporting workflows for small fleets, personal security or asset recovery.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible via GPRS interval packets and SMS — integrates with server-based tracking and alerting
• Extremely long autonomous operation — up to 2 years on two CR123A batteries under typical settings
• Discrete, compact form factor (70 × 50 × 21 mm) for covert installation in vehicles, cargo or personal items
• Built-in microphone for remote audio monitoring and situational awareness
• Motion detection with a digital accelerometer for instant movement alerts and power-saving standby
• Reports external power disconnects and supports a single alarm input and one auxiliary output for remote control (engine kill, siren, etc.)
• Simple SMS control with PIN protection and authorized-number management for secure remote commands

How It Works with Plaspy

Integrating the Mayak 4.5 with Plaspy relies on the device's ability to send coordinate and status messages either by SMS or by GPRS packet mode to a configured monitoring server. Once configured, Plaspy receives position updates and device telemetry and converts them into live map markers, history trails and event alerts for real-time tracking and reporting.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates — GPS coordinates from the LEADTEK 9101 module are sent via SMS or GPRS to Plaspy.
• Movement and tamper alerts — the built-in accelerometer triggers motion notifications that Plaspy can surface as immediate alerts.
• Power status and external power disconnects — the device reports loss of external supply so Plaspy can flag potential tampering or battery-only operation.
• Audio monitoring — remote activation of the built-in microphone is available via SMS for situational verification (use according to local law).
• Simple command-and-control — SMS-based commands and PIN protection let authorized operators query or configure the device remotely when needed.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Covert vehicle tracking and recovery — discreet installation in cars, motorcycles or boats for anti-theft monitoring and location recovery.
• Asset and cargo monitoring — long battery life and compact size make it suitable for containers, pallets and valuable shipments where periodic telemetry is sufficient.
• Personal safety and tracking — portable use for locating people, children or animals with motion alerts and remote audio monitoring.
• Remote security of outbuildings and kiosks — detect tampering or power loss and receive immediate notifications to a Plaspy dashboard or by SMS.
• Panic or auxiliary control — use the alarm input as a portable panic button or trigger external devices via the auxiliary channel for immobilization or audible alarm (requires proper wiring and external hardware).

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The AutoFon Mayak 4.5 delivers a purpose-built mix of long-term autonomy, compact stealthy form and simple server connectivity that fits many Plaspy deployments where low-maintenance, reliable position reporting is required. For fleet management scenarios focused on occasional telemetry and anti-theft coverage rather than continuous high-frequency reporting, the Mayak 4.5 reduces installation attention and battery replacement cycles. Plaspy users benefit from straightforward integration: position packets and SMS alerts can be mapped into Plaspy's real-time tracking, event alarms and history reporting.

Note the device’s limitations up front — there is no AGPS, no RTC, no Bluetooth sensor support, and advanced automated features listed on some pages are absent. The auxiliary output does permit remote control of third-party immobilizers or sirens, but those functions require external hardware and appropriate wiring. The Mayak 4.5 is best selected when long autonomous operation, stealth and basic telemetry (location, motion, power state, remote audio) are your priorities and you plan to use Plaspy for visualization, alerting and report management.
