How can you find out if a tracker is supported by Traccar?

Hello everyone,

I am looking into GPS Trackers for a project I am working on. I cannot find any documentation on when a tracker is compatible with Traccar without having to walk through the configuration steps and have to physically buy the device. I am specifically asking this for trackers that are not mentioned on the Forms or trackers that are not listed in the Supported Devices.

How can I figure this out? Thanks in advance!

Ask the manufacturer which protocol the device uses. Many chinese clones use similar protocol / ports.

Which protocol and ports are supported?

What if it is not a Chinese clone?

What is it then? It is usually either Chinese device or a known brand.

Alright, clear. I am new to the usage and GPS Trackers in general so just trying to figure things out.

Can you just assume that if a brand is in the supported device list, all the devices from that brand are supported?

Not guaranteed, but most likely yes.

Where can I look for the supported ports and protocols, if the devices are not clones?
