How to set tracker parameters

On the main screen of the app, the following settings are available:

Service status

  • If the toggle is on, the tracker is active, and location data is being sent
  • If the toggle is off, the service is stopped, and data is not sent

    Device ID

    A unique identifier for your device (e.g., 705943). You need to provide this ID to customer support so your device can appear in the system.

    Server URL

    The server address to which location data is sent. You can change this address if needed.

    Location accuracy

    The higher the accuracy, the more precise the track will be, but this will use more battery and data. Choose the optimal setting for your needs.

    Frequency

    Set how often the tracker will send data to the server (e.g., every 5 or 10 seconds). Shorter intervals mean more detailed tracking but higher battery and data consumption.

    Distance

    Set how far the device needs to travel before sending a new point (e.g., every 50 meters). This helps avoid sending data when the object is nearly stationary.

    Angle

    Choose the angle at which a new point will be sent (e.g., if the turning angle exceeds a certain threshold).

    Offline buffering

    If this option is enabled, the tracker will save location data when there's no internet connection. Once the connection is restored, all accumulated data will automatically be sent to the server.

    Wake lock

    If enabled, this option ensures the tracker runs in the background, even when the phone is not in use.
