GPS-Trace and Forguard in Action: Queclink CV200XEU Tracker

In the world of modern technology, GPS tracking has become essential for managing fleets and personal transportation. We frequently write about new integrations on the GPS-Trace platform, briefly highlighting the devices and their features. Today, we have the opportunity to delve into the Queclink Smart 4G Dash Camera CV200XEU/XNA, explore its features, connect it to the GPS-Trace platform, and test it.

The Queclink CV200XEU/XNA tracker is a smart 4G camera with a full range of telematics functions. Key features include:

• LTE Cat 6 connectivity for global coverage.
• AI functions (DMS/ADAS) for enhanced safety.
• A fully functional front camera and an additional secondary camera for flexibility.
• Multiple interfaces (BLE, RS232, I/O).
• Easy installation with an optional OBD power cable.

We decided to connect and test this device using the Forguard application, which was created specifically for distribution by partners to their clients and to build a business in the field of GPS tracking. Consequently, we would like to consider the advantages of the tracker from the perspective of a client interested in managing business fleets and vehicle tracking.

Connecting the Queclink CV200XEU Tracker to the GPS-Trace Platform

1. Preparation

Before setting up and connecting, ensure you have:

• • The Queclink CV200XEU tracker.
  • A SIM card with activated internet.
  • A GPS-Trace platform account.

If it concerns a Forguard account, it can only be created and configured by a GPS-Trace partner through the Partner Panel. However, the tracker can also be used in the Ruhavik application without any restrictions.

• • Instructions for configuring the tracker, as well as the configurator itself, are available in case you plan to use them to set up the tracker.

Documentation for Queclink devices is not publicly available. If you need a setup guide or configurator, we recommend contacting the manufacturer directly.

2. Starting with the Tracker

When you open the case of the Queclink CV200XEU-XNA tracker, you will find the following elements:

• Reset Button: Used to reset the device settings to factory defaults.
• SIM Card Slot: Allows you to install a SIM card for the tracker’s mobile communication.
• Memory Card Slot: Used for installing a memory card where data can be saved.
• USB Port: This port is used to connect the tracker to a computer, which is necessary for its configuration using a special tool that allows you to set all the necessary parameters and ensure the correct operation of the device.

3. Steps to Follow

• Insert the SIM card into the appropriate slot on the tracker.
• Connect the tracker to a power source (usually a car battery or another external source).
• Turn on the device and wait for it to start.
• Connect the tracker to a computer with the pre-installed Queclink_CV_Manage_Tool_V1.0.20 configuration program using a special cable.
• Enter the password CM200 and click “Try to Connect.” The successful connection of the tracker to the computer will be indicated in the configurator.

4. Configuration of the Tracker

The tracker has a multitude of settings and various functions. We will focus primarily on the basic settings for starting work on the GPS-Trace platform. For more detailed questions about configuring the tracker, its capabilities, and functions, we recommend contacting Queclink directly, as they will have the most accurate and up-to-date information and expertise.

After entering the configurable parameters, you must click the “Send” button. The configurator will notify you of the successful command sending.

• APN Setting:

Set the APN according to the data from the SIM card provider you are using with the tracker. Depending on the provider, this could be just the APN name or the APN username and password.

• Setting Server and Port:

The tracker should be configured to send messages to the server and port specified in the unit card in the Forguard or Ruhavik account (Unit Card - Settings -Hardware) or in the Partner Panel.

• Setting Message Frequency:

The frequency with which the tracker sends messages to the system determines how accurately the track and location will be displayed in real-time in the application. However, the message frequency affects internet traffic consumption.

You can also configure a multitude of other parameters and conditions for sending messages from the tracker to the platform, including geofences, report sending, accident detection, driver behavior monitoring, video, and more. Some examples of configuration are shown in the screenshots.

We also suggest implementing certain functions on the side of our Forguard and Ruhavik applications, as it is quick and easy. For example:

• Set up notifications about the start/end of trips,
• Create geofences and set up notifications about entering/exiting them,
• Activate security mode,
• Set up notifications about the absence of messages from the tracker,
• Notifications about the appearance or change of parameters in messages (including alarm parameters),
• Set counters and limits for mileage and engine hours,
• Obtain statistics and reports based on data from the tracker,
• Build charts, monitor fuel consumption, battery charge, and much more.

Below are some of the features of the Forguard application when connecting the Queclink tracker shown in screenshots.

SMS Commands for Configuring the Queclink CV200XEU
