mini gps tracker.Where is the GPS car locator usually installed

　　To know the installation location of GPS car locators, the first step is to understand the classification of locators. The preferred installation location for car locators generally varies according to different equipment types. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three types: universal electrically connected locators, ultra long standby GPS locators, and rechargeable and adsorbable mobile locators

　　1. Universal electrically connected locator

　　Universal powered GPS

　　As the most commonly used and practical GPS locator, it usually has a small built-in battery and needs to be connected to the car battery to work. It can be online in real-time and can check historical trajectory and report data. Widely used in various industries such as unit vehicle management, private car theft prevention, logistics vehicle monitoring and scheduling, rental car, credit car positioning, etc.

　　Its installation feature is the need to connect the power supply and a good signal environment for real-time online operation. Therefore, it is believed that there are generally four commonly used installation positions, namely the interior of the driver's bridge under the windshield, the interior of the front passenger's windshield, the trunk, and the front engine hood. The first two are the preferred installation positions, while the latter two positions may be subject to signal interference or difficulty in selecting points depending on the vehicle model. Generally only used as a backup installation location

　　2. Ultra long standby GPS locator

　　Disposable battery GPS

　　A GPS locator that does not require power and can be used for a long time, usually equipped with a non rechargeable disposable battery. It can theoretically be used in standby mode for several years. This type of equipment does not need to be powered on, and its installation location is relatively flexible. However, in order to save electricity, it is generally in a dormant standby state and does not locate in real-time without a historical trajectory. It is not suitable for vehicle positioning management and scheduling. Generally, business vehicles, official vehicles, or transportation vehicles do not choose to install it. It is commonly used for anti-theft and backup risk control of private and rental cars, as well as credit vehicles.

　　The installation feature is that it needs to be relatively concealed and less prone to water ingress, and also considers the need for a location with good GPS signal of the equipment. Therefore, it is believed that such equipment is generally installed inside the vehicle, with no significant metal obstruction above it, and is not easily accessible to water, and is not usually disassembled. The installation positions are relatively diverse.
