The FOX3 is an advanced, feature packed, configurable smart tracking and data logging device which can be fully adapted to meet a host of user requirements. Common applications range from automotive vehicle location, fleet management, security, asset recovery and remote monitoring. The extensible capabilities of the FOX3, allow it to be expanded through the addition of external devices to it's digital I/O ports, CAN bus, analogue input ports, RS232 and RS485 serial ports, USB interface, audio interface or 1-Wire interface. The 1-Wire interface supports connection with multiple sensors and actuators such as iButton, Temperature Logger, Temperature Sensor, Humidity sensor, etc.. In addition, the newly developed "PAID-Features" enhance the device with mobile data logging, CAN bus activation, storing, processing and sending. FOX3 offers new features like: DATA ENCRYPTION, several HISTORY MODES or ECO-DRIVE/BEHAVIOUR LOGGING to supplement the standard items such as status reports, alerts messaging, audio call, spy calls or geofencing.

FOX3 Premium-Features

  • RS485 interface (hardware based): This firmware feature reconfigures the 2nd RS-232 interface in the FOX3 standard hardware to the RS-485 interface for the communication with sensors using RS-485 interface.
  • CAN interface (hardware based): This firmware feature activates the CAN-Bus chip in the FOX3 and forwards CAN/CAN-FMS /CAN-OBDII messages in real time to third-party's application database.
  • ECO DRIVE GPS (firmware based): This firmware feature measures the vehicle speed, harsh brakes, harsh acceleration for computing vehicle fuel consumption and other trip and driver behaviour related information.
  • AES128 (firmware based): This firmware feature secures your traffic data via TCP by encrypting when sending and decrypting when receiving using a 128-bit encryption with a 128 key length.
  • Indexed history (firmware based): This firmware feature adds an extra line to each TCP packet being sent showing the number of history records transmitted to the server.
  • Extended Goefences (firmware based)
  • Extended Alarms (firmware based)
