Designed for Light and Heavy Vehicles
The HCV5 device is a GPS tracker for heavy vehicles. It has been designed to track and monitor vehicles and can read data from standard CANbus protocols such as FMS, J1708, and J1939.
One of the main features of this device is its jammer protection; once detected, it can trigger an automatic engine shutdown, and the detection time is adjustable to different situations.

Tracking Device Configuration Notice
For tracking devices, we recommend a 1-minute configuration when the engine is on or in motion, and every 20 minutes when the engine is off or stopped; additionally, turns of 25 or 30 degrees and distance disabled. This will help ensure that 20 or 25 MB data packages are sufficient for one month, all depending on the time the vehicle is in motion. This table is for informational purposes and as a recommendation, not a rule.
