Tracking Systems

From logistics to monitoring families on the move. Meden Systems is confident we can source, design and provide a robust tracking unit normally carried by a moving vehicle or person. A system that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine and track an assets precise location, and hence that of its carrier, at intervals. The recorded location data can then be stored within the tracking unit, or it may be transmitted to a central location database, or Internet-connected computer, using a cellular (GPRS or SMS), radio, or satellite modem embedded in the unit. This allows the asset's location to be displayed against a map backdrop either in real time or when analysing the track later, using GPS tracking software. Data tracking software is available for smart phones with GPS capability.

Types of systems we can deploy:-

Data loggers
A GPS logger simply logs the position of the device at regular intervals in its internal memory. Modern GPS loggers have either a memory card slot, or internal flash memory card and a USB port. Some act as a USB flash drive.

Data pushers
Data pusher is the most common type of GPS tracking unit, used for asset tracking, personal tracking and Vehicle tracking system.
Also known as a GPS beacon, this kind of device pushes (i.e. "sends") the position of the device as well as other information like speed or altitude at regular intervals, to a determined server, that can store and instantly analyze the data.

Covert GPS Trackers
Covert GPS trackers contain the same electronics as regular GPS trackers but are constructed in such a way as to appear to be an everyday object. One use for covert GPS trackers is for power tool protection, these devices can be concealed within power tool boxes and traced if theft occurs.

Typical uses for trackers include: • Assets/ Vehicle tracking • Personal/ Law enforcement tracking • Cross country/ Race control • Sports/ Adventure sports • Surveillance tracking
