          What is Cellemetry: 

There are no monthly maintenance fee's  associated with the  RT-1500       

There are two types of locates reports. 

Automatic Location Reports:  Reports made to the monitoring center on a schedule set by you using the dip switches on the rear of the Control Unit. You can set the unit to report from  weekly to every 5 minutes. You can easily Geofence the unit. You can request the unit report on motion and send a email or SMS to your cell phone notifying you that the vehicle is moving. You can also  set it to only report on a  "Ping". You can  change the automatic reporting schedule  at any time.  For security they cannot be changed wirelessly.      

All Pings are $0.12 cents each. A ping is a real-time location request sent to the unit and a real-time return  position report

Insurance companies often offer discounts if the insured vehicle has a theft recovery system on board. Check with your agent to see what you would save.

The Rover RT-1500 has a 1 year limited manufacturers warranty.

Faq's:

Q: What do I do when I get the  RT-1500

A: Included in the printed material  is a fax sheet. Fill it out and fax it to the  included number to set up your

account and activate the RT-1500.    Set the dip switches to the automatic location updates you are going to use. they are: web poll only, once per week, once a day, every 4 hours, every  hour, every 30 minutes, every 15 minutes,  every 5 minutes or in response only to a ping or  when motion is detected..

Q: Can I change the location updates wirelessly.

A: No. you must power the system down to reset the dip switches. If someone obtains your username and  password they cannot change the location report schedules you selected. This is to protect you since you are responsible for payment of all reports and pings.  

Q: Can I install the system myself.

A: You can use a cigar lighter plug-in or directly connect the power cables to your vehicle's  battery or fuse panel. The system comes with a inline fuse. Remove the fuse before installation and be sure you  connect red (+) to Positive and black (-) to Negative. Failure to do so could severely damage the system.

Q: What should I do if i want to use the input/output remote functions.

A: If you do not have the technical  knowledge you should have a local New Car Dealership, preferably of your make, or a reputable Stereo/Radio shop do the installation. The three functions can be used to:  Monitor airbags, Lock doors, Engine compartment or trunk opened, Alarms  sounding, Flash the lights, Blow the horn, Open the doors, Disable the starter etc.. A complete diagram and instructions are included in the package.

The Starter Interrupt hardware and a large  blown up diagram are also included. Some systems do not  include this hardware in the purchase price.

A: Once a week the monitoring center pings the unit to give  itself a health check.  If  there are any malfunctions a alert will be sent.. You can set alert destination  in configurations. For this reason it is necessary to have power to the unit even when not reporting locations updates. 

A: Yes.  But only in the enclosed waterproof case offered below, and you must have a external power supply.  For a real-time covert system that is specifically designed for this type application and is battery powered for up to 120 days on 6 AA batteries click here.

A: Click on the Image Tab for some pictures of proper placement.  The Rover RT-1500, and any other system, must be able to see the sky to lock onto the GPS Satellites. It takes 3 satellites to get a location fix within 15 meters and as it locks onto more  satellites the location accuracy can be as accurate  as 1 meter  or better. The Celemetery antenna can be placed anywhere in the vehicle. The enhanced GPS antenna, with a built in magnet for easy mounting,  needs to have a partial view of  the sky. The two antennas need to be at least 6" apart.
