HunterPro is one of the largest B2B Complete Solution Provider for the Americas, Africa and Asia, and is able to provide a secure, cellular based, GPS based, for a complete and accurate AVL realtime tracking application. We're experts in vehicle recovery with companies along the Americas very satisfied with our products and loyal to our company.

The main reason for this success is the accurate balance between pricing, stability, ease of use and quality. All components of the system has been carefully selected and integrated in a seamless solution.

If you are you interested in running your own AVL business then HunterPro is the answer. The AVL business offers a good income with a high initial investment. If the initial investment is low then the income will be low too. In this case as our prices are very cost effective, and our products are stable. A main difference from other products where you have to reset them manually because they freeze. Anyway we don't want you to believe without testing, so order your evaluation kit and find out how stable, fast, precise and small is our vehicle unit.

Other than selling a product, we're selling a business to make your own use of the product. This change in concept has increased sales worldwide.

Our products have very good recovery rates since they're not based in radio / telemetry for location. Rather than that they are based in the most widely available cellular networks and on the precise and real GPS signal. While other solutions can't offer a more accurate location than 200-500 meters, we offer less than 10 meters precision on a daily basis, and realtime tracking on demand - with a delay of less than one second to obtain position once polled (in GPRS).

We offer an excellent recovery ratio and range of operation (often nationwide and with the use of roaming it will cover even several countries/states). You won't pay a monthly fee because is a turnkey solution, a difference which makes HunterPro GPS the correct option to establish your own AVL business or your personal base station.

If the vehicle has a car alarm, and it was activated previously, the fact that there is a door open event, or glass break, or even shock sensor will trigger the alarm. Let's assume the alarm's siren output is connected to one of the GPS intputs for event. The GPS unit will detect the event and deliver an SMS to the base station. Base Station will receive report of robbery through the correct input, and will display pop up window on screen and location at that exact moment of time. This will take 3 seconds (as long as the SMS itself) upon door open.

If the vehicle doesn't have a car alarm, it will be unable to differentiate when the door is open by the car owner or by the theft. But it will still be able to detect shock sensor, or glass break sensor. But without a car alarm you've probably less chance to detect a robbery than with it, but car alarms are nowadays very inexpensive and provide remote control and additional functionality for the GPS unit, such as the one you mentioned.

There is a possibility to use the internal alarm of the GPS unit, but this will require the Base Station (Call Center) to send an SMS to the unit eveytime after the user leaves the car at night, and before the user gets into the car on the morning, which is unpractical.

The fact that the thief doesn't notice at all that there is a car alarm or a GPS unit present is desirable, so the system should let the thieve stole the car, and a hundred of meters after that the operator at the Call Center will stop the fuel pump remotely, thus the car thief will have to rush from the site, before police officers or private safety guards arrives.

This method is really good compared to just blocking the engine right after the thief open the door. Because this action will make him seek and disable the security device(s) in order to be able to steal the car.

In the other situation he won't even notice nothing is going on and will be focused on driving the car after what he believes was a "succesfull robbery". I would also do not install any flashing LED to indicate presence of car alarm, or any other device at all.

The GPS system consists in several satellites orbiting the Earth.
These satellites can provide a signal to the HunterPro GPS (hidden inside the vehicle), which will process that signal using complex geometrical projections in order to obtain the position of the vehicle (latitude and longitude), real-time speed, altitude, quality of the position, time, date and other data. All GPS receivers used in the market have a precision of 20 meters in the position obtained.

This position can then be sent to the Base Station using one or more wireless protocols (for example: sending a message (SMS) in a GSM cellular network). And with the use of a secure protocol the Base Station can then interact with the vehicle and for example: kill the starter/ignition/engine in case of robbery, detect Panic button pressed, etc.

So if you want to know WHERE and HOW are your customer's vehicles or even your own vehicles, you will need a GPS. And because a GPS receiver alone won't be of any use remotely (and the same applies to a GPS handheld), you will need all the hardware and software which is able to give the maximum out of it, and will provide the user with a friendly environment and 24/7 customer support.

From your PC with the XP-GPS software provided. Just by pressing the Connect button once you have everything configured, and waiting for the icon of the vehicle to appear centered of the map of your country/city.

No, it is a one-time fee. You only have to pay cellular billing costs for each vehicle unit monthly, as with any other AVL unit.

In several countries our company has been deployed solution providers.
They charge a monthly fee of 20-30 dollars for providing Automatic Vehicle Location within their Call Central and 24/7 Customer Care.

Let me tell you that business is good if you get a low cellular fee by negotiating with the cellular carrier, and in the other hand if you have a plan of reaching at least 2000 pcs. within 2 years it will be a profitable business.

This business is a financial business, based on having lots of customers paying a monthly fee, although there is an initial investment for you or for your company, the revenues are very high and you can take and keep a slice of the market.

But I recommend that you charge 20 dollars per month. So once you reach the 2000 customer barrier:

2000 x 25 dollars = 50,000 (let's suppose you spend 10,000 in infrastructure, personal and cellular lines cost: you win 40,000 dollars per month).

You will have a very profitable business (aroung 480,000 dollars per year).

Reaching the 2000 barrier is difficult and requires financial support for the initial investment, but it is a great opportunity to enter the AVL business seriously and before other companies do the same.

I should say NO, but the truth is that no system in the world is '100% safe'.
Anyway we've thought in many conditions were the HP-GPS should protect you better: if you install a backup battery and the thief disconnects the main battery source, the system will call you immediately and notify "Event Z".

The only way a thief can stole a car is to be able to place it inside a container, where there is no GPS signal or cellular/satellite coverage whatsoever. No system in the world can prevent this, except if you install a shock sensor on our HP-GPS unit, which will notify whenever a shock is detected in your car, or you may add a glass break sensor as well. Altogether with a good car alarm, could be evasive enough to prevent the robbery. You can add a gas device which will scare the subject (but this could be you or someone from your family), a microwave sensor, etc, etc. You must think about a system which is safe enough for preventing the robbery and at the same time being able to track your car in case of robbery so you would call the police and be able to tell them where exactly your car is located in real-time.

As long as there is cellular coverage, if you live in the US you will have an excellent national coverage as well as in other countries (such as Canada an Mexico) where the AMPS system is still in use. Many countries in the world are now supporting GSM, but you must find out with major cellular carriers.

Real-time, in AMPS it will take longer for the call to be made (10-15 seconds).
Once connection is established you will have a 1 per second refresh in real-time. In GSM its almost instantly (2-5 seconds) because it uses the SMS gateway. Messages are very small so they're transmitted quite fast.

We have partners in Argentina, Ecuador and Mexico where many of them charge an initial "connection" fee of $120. Then they charge a monthly fee of $30 for each unit. The vehicle unit remain a property of the company in some cases, in other they sell them altogether with an annual contract of service.

This will give you earnings in just 6 months as soon as you install very fast all the units. Lets say you purchase 500 pcs at $ 280 / each:

This is an example of an annual investment related to this business:

1st month: 280 x 500 = -$ 140,000 (Purchase of vehicle units).
2nd month: 120 x 250 = +$ 30,000 (Initial connection of 500 pcs 1/2).
3rd month: 120 x 250 = +$ 30,000 (Initial connection of 500 pcs 2/2).
30 x 250 = +$ 7,500 (monthly fee for 250 pcs).
4th month: 30 x 500 = +$ 15,000 (monthly fee for 500 pcs).
5th month: 30 x 500 = +$ 15,000 (monthly fee for 500 pcs).
6th month: 30 x 500 = +$ 15,000 (monthly fee for 500 pcs).
. . .
12th month: 30 x 500 = +$ 15,000 (monthly fee for 500 pcs).

The more vehicle units you buy, the more money you will invest, but the more revenues you will have in the future in your AVL business.

Imagine the income when you purchase 500 pcs. annually for 5 years:
1st year: $ 47,500 (you have 500 customers).
2nd year: $ 227,500 (you have 1000 customers).
3rd year: $ 407,500 (you have 1500 customers).
4th year: $ 587,500 (you have 2000 customers).
and so on...

This offers a great potential as you may see. We don't charge anything of your customers' monthly fee. Our business is to sell vehicle units, your business: to buy, install and rent them for a monthly fee providing AVL services. Although all of this requires an initial investment, the revenues are very high compared to other businesses in these days.

HunterPro GPS units needs an enabled cellular service to operate correctly.
So the first step will be to negotiate a price with your preferred cellular carrier (if possible choose the one which has the best coverage in your country) telling him the cellular protocol of the HunterPro GPS units and the quantity. Tell him that those cellular lines will be used ONLY to send and receive data. If your units are GSM based, the process is much simpler: you have to obtain as many SIM cards as you need.

Once the units are enabled, you have to install them hidden inside the vehicles.
Installation is a very simple process which involves the connection of the GPS antenna, cellular antenna (if necessary), and GROUND. The GPS antenna should be hidden too, but keep in mind the system won't operate correctly if you install the antenna under metal surfaces/objects because the signals sent out from the satellites are very weak.

If you need a Panic button, you can use the X Input and connect a tact switch to it properly. The process is similar to a car alarm installation, but much easier.

The user will only have to be able to click a button on the GUI (for instance: "Connect") and he/she will be to see the real-time state of its vehicles remotely. So the learning curve is very suitable for first time users in this kind of applications.

The next step will be to create your customers database using HunterPro XP-GPS.
Run the application, press the Edit button located at the left window, and then you can add, modify or delete existing customers. The PIN number should always be "012345" unless specified by us directly. And the cellular number should be the number of the cellular transceiver inside the unit which have been assigned by your carrier.

Once everything is configured correctly (shouldn't be more difficult than this), select the customer you wish to poll using the arrow-buttons at the bottom of the left window, and then press the "Connect" button at the bottom of the right window. If everything is correct and both base station and vehicle unit have service, the real-time state of the vehicle will appear at the bottom of the screen. Both location and heading will be shown as an icon in the middle of the vector map, which will be refreshed at a rate depending on the cellular technology and the configuration of the remote unit.

Several applications can then be thought for this system. The most widely used is what is called AVL which means Automatic Vehicle Location. But with HP-GPS you can have additional feature: real-time fleet monitoring, remote messaging to an LCD (XP-GPS), virtual geographic fencing or "geofence" (XP-GPS), remote hearing and conversation (HP-GPS AMPS), automatic fleet dispatch, remote download of the route followed by the unit in the last 48 hours, etc.

All complex tasks which make all of this solutions possible are done in the background by the XP-GPS. And because we're an open company we offer research and development services (with an additional cost) for adding extra functionality or embedding your own ideas into the XP-GPS software.

The only condition for becoming a reseller is to purchase 100 pcs.
You will be provided with all the information necessary to setup your base station fully. Unlimited email support is provided at no cost.

If you need an exclusive contract for your country, the condition is a minimum purchase of 500-5000 pcs. annually (depending on the country).

Find out the best cellular coverage available in your city/country (AMPS, CDPD, CDMA, GSM or TDMA). You can find the correct quotation for the cellular network of your choice below.

Maps are not included and can be purchased directly from us as we're a strategic partner of a GIS corporation which has lots of maps and availability.

The Base Station is free with your order providing: latest release of XP-GPS software, Cellular/Landline interface, plus all the necessary to setup your Base Station accurately.

Although our software supports several map formats, we STRONGLY recommend TAB maps from MapInfo or from an authorized reseller.
We don't do conversions from other maps into TAB since this can lead to several errors (missing coordinates, wrong/missing street labels, etc).

100% supported map format is "TAB Map prepared for MapX". So you must ask for a Geoset File (.GST) prepared for your map for the fastest redrawing times, with "Autolabels ON" in each layer which contains relevant info so its labels are shown automatically (e.g. street layers).

This is necessary in order for each layer to display correctly, with correct colors, correct layer order, and producing a fast map redraw on each refresh.

AVLS: stands for Automatic Vehicle Location System.
AFMS: stands for Automatic Fleet Monitoring System.

We are upgrading the software with new features to aid in the Automatic Fleet Monitoring System, which are included to help operators in real life situation: real-time alarm conditions are now shown in a list. User can sort them and process each one, having a complete control of all the units which had an alarm, no matter how much events at the same time occurred. User is now able to work on each vehicle unit until it resolves the security state of each one.

Keep in mind you can make us suggestions on what you would like to have in the software for your R&D project, and they will be added with a cost depending on complexity and time.

It is a hi-tech GPS system which supports an easy to integrate ASCII protocol, and is remotely programmable in a user-friendly protocol.
You can command it easily from HyperTerminal for example, or you can integrate this product into your application. The command specification used is TAIP-like, being 100 % TAIP compliant in some cases.

As you may see in our website, we've added LCD support to our units, and released the XP60 GPS with more features than its predecessor the HP60. Remote messaging is now available, and the user now have remote confirmation buttons for dispatch.

Also, a virtual geographic fence (which we call GeoFence) can be added so the when vehicle enters or leave the pre-programmed zone it will report it to the base station.

Both HP60 and XP60 are intended for Automatic Vehicle Location, Fleet Management, or Remote Dispatch. This products can be installed in trucks, cars, vans, or any vehicles with power available. For 24VDC vehicles please instruct us first. Stand alone battery can be added externally so if the main battery power is lost for any reason (unauthorized maintenance or robbery) the vehicle unit can report this to the base station along with the position of the vehicle and real-time events information.

HP60 and XP60 products are very similar and provides practically the same functionality. You should buy XP60 only if you would like to integrate our hardware into your software, or if you need GeoFence, an LCD display, or a dispatch solution.

The HP60 is an excellent product, cost-effective, rock-solid firmware, very responsive, and very easy to use. All of this to provide a fast service, secure and accurate AVL solution into your existing business.
