How do GPS Vehicel Tracking devices work?
In this latest episode, our expert host, Simon Henson, delves into GPS vehicle tracking devices. Have you ever wondered how these devices work and how they can be used in surveillance and investigations? Join us as we uncover the technology behind GPS vehicle tracking devices and their applications in the field of private investigations.
Understanding GPS Technology:
Simon begins by explaining the basics of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
How GPS Vehicle Tracking Devices Work:
- Satellite Signals: GPS vehicle tracking devices receive signals from a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. By triangulating the signals from at least four satellites, the device can calculate its precise location.
- Data Transmission: The calculated location data, along with other information such as speed and direction, is transmitted from the GPS tracker to a central server using cellular networks. This data is usually sent at regular intervals, allowing for real-time tracking of the vehicle.
- Software and Monitoring: The transmitted data is then processed by software that provides a user-friendly interface for monitoring the vehicle’s movements. Investigators can access this information through a secure online portal or mobile app, enabling them to track the vehicle in real-time and review historical data.
Applications in Surveillance and Investigations:
Simon discusses the practical applications of GPS vehicle tracking in the field of private investigations:
- Surveillance: GPS trackers can be used to monitor the movements of a subject’s vehicle, providing valuable intelligence. The use of GPS Tracking devices is to be used as an intelligence tool only. The data obtained cannot be used as evidence in court of law.
- Subject Routine: GPS Trackers can be used to gain information on a subject’s routine, their daily routines and whereabouts. So that other methods of covert surveillance can be put in place.
Legal and Ethical Considerations:
Our host emphasizes the importance of adhering to legal and ethical guidelines when using GPS tracking devices. It’s crucial to obtain proper consent and ensure compliance with privacy laws to avoid legal repercussions like civil trespass.
