Coban - BN-401C

The BN-401C GPS tracker (Model 401) is a compact, Plaspy compatible device engineered for concealed installation on motorcycles and small vehicles. Designed for reliable real-time tracking and essential remote-control capabilities, the BN-401C pairs low-profile hardware with flexible communications—2G/4G and SMS/TCP/UDP—so fleet managers and individual owners can monitor location, ignition status, and alarms through Plaspy’s platform.

Built for anti-theft protection and simple fleet management, the BN-401C delivers continuous positioning, emergency alerts, and basic offline reporting from its internal 3.7V 90mAh backup battery. Its small form factor and included relay/wiring harness option make it easy to enable remote fuel/power cutoff and integrate critical telemetry with Plaspy for faster response and operational insight.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for motorcycles and small vehicles—optimizes real-time tracking and remote management.
• Multi-network communication: GSM/GPRS and LTE (4G) with TCP, UDP, and SMS support for resilient server integration.
• Concealed, compact design (6.78 x 4.1 x 1.84 cm; 58 g) for discreet installation on scooters, motorcycles, or compact cars.
• On-board rechargeable 3.7V 90mAh backup battery for emergency alarms and basic offline reporting when external power is interrupted.
• Wide range of alarms and remote controls: geo-fence, overspeed, SOS, movement/shock, low battery, external power disconnect, ACC (ignition) notifications, and remote fuel/power cutoff.
• Smart power mode conserves data and battery by remaining offline when stationary, waking on movement or defined triggers.
• Manufacturer-supplied documentation and installation videos simplify setup and support safe, reliable deployments at scale.

How It Works with Plaspy

When integrated with Plaspy, the BN-401C streams position and event data that Plaspy uses to provide real-time tracking, alerts, and historical reports. Plaspy ingests device messages over TCP, UDP, or SMS and maps GNSS fixes, ignition state, alarm events, and remote-control commands into dashboards and automated workflows for fleet management and anti-theft response.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live maps and route playback.
• ACC (ignition) notifications and ignition-related alerts forwarded to Plaspy for engine-on/off monitoring.
• Geo-fence, overspeed, movement/shock, and SOS events trigger configurable Plaspy alerts and escalation rules.
• Remote fuel/power cutoff (via relay) can be controlled or tracked through Plaspy as an immobilizer-style function for theft response.
• Low battery and external power disconnection alarms notify Plaspy so administrators can schedule maintenance or investigate tampering.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Motorcycle fleet management: monitor routes, ignition events, and overspeed incidents for safety and compliance.
• Individual motorcycle anti-theft: discreet installation combined with SOS, movement/shock alerts, and remote power cutoff for theft response.
• Scooter-sharing operations: lightweight tracker that enables location reporting, route playback, and tamper alerts for shared vehicles.
• Small vehicle monitoring: private car anti-theft and basic telemetry where a compact, easy-to-install tracker is required.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The BN-401C delivers a practical balance of low-profile hardware and robust connectivity that aligns with Plaspy’s real-time tracking and fleet management features. Its support for both 2G and 4G networks plus TCP/UDP/SMS communications ensures reliable delivery of GNSS positions and alarm events to Plaspy even under varied cellular conditions. For anti-theft and immobilization needs, the included relay and wiring harness enable remote fuel/power cutoff while the backup battery preserves emergency reporting when external power is lost.

Choosing the BN-401C with Plaspy means combining discreet device installation and essential telemetry—location, ignition, geo-fence, and alarm states—with a platform that can route alerts, playback trips, and centralize reporting. For organizations managing motorcycle fleets or individuals seeking a dependable anti-theft solution, this Plaspy compatible GPS tracker reduces installation complexity, supports remote control workflows, and provides the core real-time tracking and telemetry features required for effective vehicle oversight. If your deployment also uses Bluetooth sensors or other auxiliary telemetry, Plaspy can aggregate those data sources alongside BN-401C position and alarm streams to build a fuller operational picture.
