Tracking (Admin Access)


Three Ways to Track Your Vehicles

You now have three options to track your vehicles:

  • 1️⃣ Mobile App (Traccar Client): Install the Traccar Client App on your drivers’ mobile phones. Works for Android and iPhone.
    100% Free: No additional cost.
  • 2️⃣ Dedicated GPS Tracking Devices: Install physical trackers directly in your vehicles.
    Requires Purchase: You need to buy hardware units per vehicle.
    Advantages of In‑Vehicle Units:
    • No Drain on Phone Battery: Runs on the vehicle battery.
    • Always On & cannot be turned off: More tamper‑resistant.
    • Independent of driver’s phone: Tracking continues even if the driver’s device is off.
    • More reliable data: Supports vehicle sensors and CAN bus.
    Recommended Device:

    That is just one option — many more supported devices can be found on the Traccar Devices Page.
  • 3️⃣ Using an Old Mobile Phone as a Tracker:
    You can repurpose an older Android device, leave it hidden in the vehicle, and keep it permanently charging.
    • Very Cheap: Often free if you have old devices.
    • Accurate GPS: Phones typically have strong GPS performance.
    • No wiring needed: Just plug into a USB charger.
    Important Notes:
    • Must stay powered (use a reliable 12V USB charger).
    • Needs mobile data (SIM card required).
    • Hide it properly to prevent tampering.
    • High heat inside vehicles can damage devices.

Dedicated Tracking Devices support the following sensors:

  • Fuel Level
  • Temperature / Heat Sensor
  • Driver ID
  • Door Open / Closed
  • Panic / SOS Button
  • CAN Bus Data
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring

  • Once added, devices appear live on your map if online and configured.

Step 4: Verify You Can See Vehicles in Traccar

Important Notes

  • This login is for admins only – drivers do not use this page.
  • Driver and device setup is still done manually inside Traccar.
  • Admin interface is mobile-ready and works on all devices.
  • Two options: use the mobile app or install vehicle hardware for direct tracking.
    • Hardware trackers use vehicle battery, not phone battery.
    • Always on—can’t be accidentally turned off or disconnected by the driver.
    • Provides more accurate, uninterrupted tracking and sensor data.
  • Supports multiple sensors: fuel, temperature, driver ID, door, panic button, CAN bus, tire pressure.
Note: You are basically installing the app, adding your devices, creating drivers, then verifying they appear live in Traccar!
