The AssetView combines multiple technologies to maximize battery life while operating and remaining active in extremely low power modes. The unique solution is a powerful tool to reduce theft, prevent loss and manage inventory. The AssetView is powered by 3 x AA 1.5V batteries, rather than requiring constant charging or a proprietary power source. Low power notifications remotely alert customers if the batteries get low so they know when to change them well in advance of depletion.
The AssetView’s proprietary Adaptive Tracking technology increases its reporting frequency when movement is detected and automatically reduces it when stationary. This intelligence delivers long battery life while actively alerting on curfew violation, movement or geofence breaches as well as allowing the user to switch to Recovery Mode remotely.
“The AssetView is the first tracking solution of its kind to offer such a large combination of technologies in a simple final product, delivering long battery life without sacrificing two-way communications and real-time alerts. Its small size and affordable price point allow anybody to easily track nearly anything, regardless of its power source,” says Tony Nicoletti, vice presidnet of Sales and Business Development at DPL Telematics. “Customers control their monthly subscription with the option to deactivate and reactivate as needed without penalty, which is ideal for seasonal or demand-based usage.”
“Since the AssetView has minimal install time and uses readily available AA batteries, customers can easily replace them anytime they are alerted that battery power is getting low,” adds Nicoletti. “It is truly an easy to use and maintain tracking solution for virtually any asset to decrease loss exposure, better manage asset inventories and improve logistics.”
Nicolleti reports the unit cost depends on volume and application but range i from $140 to $230/unit and $7.95 to $16.95/month. "Most folks utilize the proprietary adaptive tracking which covers most applications for $9.95/month," he says..
