The SPOT Trace is a simple, reliable way to keep an eye on valuable equipment, no matter where it is. It’s a satellite asset tracker, which means it doesn’t rely on mobile signal like standard GPS trackers. If your asset is off-grid, overseas, or out of coverage, it still works.
Attach it to a vehicle, trailer, boat, or piece of equipment and it quietly does its job in the background. If it moves when it shouldn’t, you’ll know about it.
What Is It For?
This isn’t a handheld device and it’s not something you interact with day-to-day. SPOT Trace is designed to sit on an asset and report back. It’s built for these key applications:
- Vehicles and fleet tracking
- Trailers, caravans, and plant equipment
- Boats and marine assets
- Remote or unattended kit
Key Features
Satellite Tracking, Not Cellular
Most trackers drop out the moment they lose signal. SPOT Trace uses satellite, so it keeps working in remote areas, across borders, and offshore.
Movement Alerts
If the device detects movement, it sends an alert straight to you. Simple, but very effective if something gets moved unexpectedly.
Flexible Tracking Intervals
Set how often you want location updates. You can keep it frequent for active tracking or space it out to preserve battery.
Small and Easy to Hide
It’s low-profile and easy to mount or conceal, which makes it ideal for security and anti-theft use.
Status Updates
You’ll get regular updates to confirm everything is working as it should, along with low battery notifications.
Power Options
Run it on batteries or wire it into a power source for longer-term installs.
How It Works
Once it’s set up, SPOT Trace sends its location at your chosen interval via satellite. You can view it online and receive alerts if anything changes.
Things to Know
SPOT Trace is focused on tracking, nothing else. So:
- There’s no messaging or SOS
- Alerts come via email or SMS
- It requires a subscription for satellite service
Who It’s For
SPOT Trace makes sense if you want to:
- Keep tabs on equipment left unattended
- Add a layer of security to vehicles or trailers
- Track assets that move between locations
- Monitor equipment in remote areas
