The Tracking Key Pro, made by a company called LandAirSea is a passive GPS device that can be hidden in a vehicle to automatically log trip information for up to 30 days. What is a passive GPS tracking device?
GPS tracking receivers of all kinds capture signals from satellites orbiting the planet and determine the location of the receiver based on those readings. The user follows the object’s movements on a personal computer or smartphone. Real-time, also known as active, GPS tracking systems tell where a vehicle is, in real time. Passive vehicle tracking devices such as the GPS Tracking Key Pro vehicle tracking system record travel history and the user can later download the data and analyze it at a time when it is convenient to them. This device could be helpful for people who are now working with law enforcement after earning computer forensics degrees.
The new GPS Tracking Key Pro® device is sleek, powerful, and efficient. The battery life is exceptional, and the accuracy of this passive vehicle tracking unit is unmatched. It will operate up to 80 hours on 2 AA lithiums. Using satellite technology, the system fixes location of a vehicle, second by second, with an accuracy within 2.5 meters.
The GPS Tracking Key Pro® determine a vehicle’s location, direction of travel, speed and stops, (including addresses and duration). While other GPS tracking systems require a clear line of sight to the sky, the Tracking Key Pro® is capable of receiving signals even reflected off the ground. Place the water-resistant unit under the car or choose a number of alternative placement options such as the rear speaker deck, inside the dashboard, under a seat or in a seat pocket. It’s perfect for tracking the kids.
Extending battery life can be accomplished with a manual on/off switch and an automatic “sleep” mode. The GPS Tracking Key Pro® sleep mode occurs after a 3 minutes of non-movement. Battteries are accessed through a simple, but secure door and latch system.
The Tracking Key Pro® offers the user different power options. Besides batteries, the unit can be connected to a cigarette lighter, or be hardwired directly to the vehicle’s power supply. Accessory cables are available for this purpose, and the included software offers GPS tracking system with three viewing options: a text report, a depiction of the vehicle’s route on an animated map, or – the most popular option – tracking over a satellite map from Google Earth.
Because the GPS Tracking Key Pro® directly captures and records data from Global Positioning System satellites in space, the GPS Tracking Key Pro® system is not dependent on a wireless network and therefore involves no monthly service fees
The Tracking Key Pro® will store up to 100 hours of driving data in its internal memory, and because it can record up to 80 hours+ on one battery cycle it is a valuable tool both personal and professional use. And did you know that the GPS Tracking Key Pro® is the preferred device for law enforcement agencies across the United States. (Around $270, http://landairsea.com)
