Does anybody know of a tracking device that has the possibility to only send data when it is moving?

I'd like to keep the costs of internet traffic as low as possible.

Hi Antenne,

if for Vjoy tracker,
you could send SMS command *sleepv* and then *routetrack*99*,
when the device is moving, it will upload the locations, if not, it will go to deep sleep mode.

Hi, it would be great to know what you need to track. Depending on that you could find something more accurate to your needs. For example TK906 is for bicycles and only is active if there is movement.

Regards.

Thanks for your answer. I'd like to track cars, motorbikes, bicycles.
Mostly as an anti-theft device.

I read the manual for the TK906, but I can't find a setting where it only uploads data when it is moving.

I used this commands:

begin123456
admin123456 163*******
timezone123456 -3
gprs123456
apn123456 [yourAPN]
adminip123456 [yourIP] 5093
tracker123456
upload123456 120
sos123456 163*******
shock123456
led123456 on

I can't find some of this in the manual I found...
What does 'tracker123456' do?
And 'upload123456 120'?

So you will get an alarm when your bicycle is shocked.
But how do you get an alarm when your bicycle is moved (without shocking it)?
So you do not pay for any datatraffic from the bicycles sim, when the bicycle is not moving?

Hi Antenne,

1. You can alternate between monitor mode (to listen through microhpone if installed) and tracker mode (to track device), I use this command to make sure device is in tracker mode, as it is the default.
2. You use upload123456 [time in seconds] to set the device to send data every 120 seconds when moving.
3. Yes, you can send a SMS when bicycle is shocked or has fallen.
4. You can configure an alarm everytime the device is ON, in Traccar
5. Exactly

Thanks Juan, great and useful explanation!
