Moreover, Sinotrack trackers are among the fastest-growing devices on our platform.
To help users choose and purchase a tracker, detailed information about each Sinotrack model integrated into the platform is available in the Devices section on our website. This includes models such as Sinotrack ST-901, Sinotrack ST-905, Sinotrack ST-907, Sinotrack ST-903, Sinotrack ST-906, and others.
💡If your Sinotrack model is not listed, we recommend selecting the generic Sinotrack protocol (without specific indices or numbers) when connecting the tracker. In most cases, this will allow the device to successfully connect to our platform.
You can do all of this yourself or contact one of our partners for assistance.
To ensure the tracker can send data to our system, it must be connected to the internet. Start by configuring the APN according to the SIM card provider’s requirements.
SMS command:
803+password+Blank+APN
Device response: SET OK
To work on the platform, the tracker must send data to the correct server and port corresponding to the monitoring unit. The server and port information will be visible to the user immediately after creating the unit or later in the unit's "Hardware" settings.
SMS command:
804+password+Blank+IP+Blank+Port
Device response: SET OK
The tracker must be set to the 0 time zone (UTC) to function correctly on the GPS-Trace platform.
SMS command:
896+password+Blank+E/W+HH
Device response: SET OK
E stands for East, W stands for West, HH represents the time zone.
💡To set the zero time zone/UTC, send the command: 8960000 00
The frequency of data transmission affects the accuracy of your unit’s track. Higher transmission frequency results in more precise tracking on the map, better distance calculations, etc. However, transmitting data too frequently can lead to increased internet traffic usage, faster battery drain, and storage overload. Typically, sending data every 10-30 seconds is sufficient.
Sinotrack trackers allow you to configure different data transmission frequencies for when the ignition is on (ACC ON) and off (ACC OFF), helping to save both internet traffic and battery life when the vehicle is not in use.
By default, the tracker sends data every 20 seconds when the ignition is on and every 300 seconds when it is off.
SMS command:
805+password+Blank+T
Device response: SET OK
T represents the data transmission interval in seconds, ranging from 0 to 18,000 seconds.
T=0 disables GPRS.
SMS command:
809+password+Blank+T
Device response: SET OK
Once your tracker starts transmitting location data to our system, you’ll be able to see your vehicle, bike, or scooter on the map and take advantage of other GPS-Trace features: create geofences, receive notifications, use mileage and engine hour counters, view and export statistics for your unit, and more. Use all the platform's capabilities for effective fleet and asset GPS tracking.
GPS-Trace is a user-friendly platform that supports over 2,000 tracker models, including Sinotrack devices. It ensures easy connection and precise monitoring of your units. Choose the tracker that suits your needs and take full advantage of GPS-Trace for efficient tracking and control.
