F.A.Q.'s

Q. What does AVL stand for?
A. AVL is an abbreviation for Automatic Vehicle Location System.  The VTS 8000 system is an innovative, dependable and cost-effective AVL system with an entry level of one unit and no capacity limit. VTS 8000 can serve 1 vehicle as easily as a four thousand.

Q. What does GPS stand for?
A. GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System.  The GPS is owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense.  It's primary mission is to serve the navigation needs and weapons delivery missions of the U.S. Armed Forces, worldwide.  The GPS signals are produced by a constellation of satellites and are available at all times, free of charge.

Q. What is VTS 8000?
A. VTS 8000 is the best selling realtime vehicle tracking product lines that Bluewater Security Professionals markets. We strive to provide you with the information that you need at affordable prices.

Q. Does the VTS 8000 system use GPS?
A. All VTS 8000 systems using the GPS (Global Positioning System) network of satellites for remarkably accurate positioning.

Q. Is your product real time?
A. The VTS 8000 transmissions are available for viewing within seconds of being sent from the units. .

Q. Will my vehicles require huge antennas?
A. No! Both VTS 8000 antennas are about the size of a matchbox. The antennas provided are small enough to allow a covert installation.

Q. How difficult are the VTS 8000 units to install??
A. The newest VTS 8000 units install in about 60 minutes. The majority of our units require 2 wires, constant power (+12 volts), and ground. If you have ever installed a car stereo or radio you will have little difficulty. Antennas need to be mounted with at least a partial view of the sky, (under the front dash, rear dash, plastic bumper) Antennas are capable of "seeing through" glass, plastic and fiberglass. but are incapable of seeing through metal. (Do not put the antenna in the trunk) We recommend that whomever install the unit contact the technical support group during the installation so that we can verify that the equipment is working correctly.

Q. How accurate is the VTS 8000 information?
A. A typical location is accurate to +/- 24 feet. When viewing a vehicle traveling on an interstate, you can usually determine which lane the vehicle is in.

Q. What is the coverage of the VTS 8000 system?
A. Most cell phone antennas communicate at 0.6 watts. Our antennas communicate a full 3 watts, so there are few areas in the United States where our units will not work. It has one of the largest real time coverage areas, covering over 100 percent of the U.S. population and 100 percent of the populations of Canada and Mexico. The VTS 8000 system utilizes a new, highly dependable and inexpensive communications concept called Cellemmetry. Other ALS systems utilize cellular voice channels or existing two-way radio systems; these systems are subject to interference, data loss and interception by competitors.  The VTS 8000 data is a digital transmission, error-corrected and is always transmitted at full legal power.  Both in the air and over the Internet. Also VTS 8000 data streams are extremely difficult to intercept or corrupt.

Q. Will I need special software to view my vehicles?
A. No! All that is required is a PC with internet access. After installation, contact us for activation. A user name and password would be provided to you to login at our web interface and check your vehicle information.
