What is the 3rdEye Post Mission System?

The post mission system is basically a data logger. Data is recorded in two ways; triggered by an event, or triggered by a time interval. Events may be; the starting of the engine, the shut down of an engine, etc. The recording of events enhances GPS data since GPS data only report on vehicle location and nothing else.

What is the 3rdEye Real Time Mission System?

There may be circumstance where management needs to know where the vehicle is right now; for example, for re-routing purposes, for monitoring of high value cargo, VIP's etc. This is where the real time system comes in. The real time system sends a data string through SMS in regular intervals. The intervals may be as short as three minutes when high value cargo is involved, and can be as long as thirty minutes when nothing critical is involved. Of course, in between intervals, a command may be sent to inquire on vehicle location right now. Additionally, the real time system is actually an upgrade of the post mission system. All the reports available through the Post Mission System is still available.

What is the Difference Between Tracking and Monitoring?

All GPS products will show you your vehicle location when you need the information.
They describe their systems as "Vehicle Tracking Systems" and they are absolutely right. The 3rdEye goes a step further in that we log vehicle information for analysis later. Thus we are not just tracking but continuously monitoring the vehicle. In this way, compliance with company policy on speed, driving habits are insured.

What is the Difference Between 3rdEye Post Mission System and Real Time System?

The 3rdEye Post Mission System has no monthly fees. We use a memory cartridge to save location and other information of the vehicles in regular intervals. There is enough memory for 5084 records. Recording at one minute intervals this translates to over 8 days of driving 8 hours work per day. When the vehicle returns the memory cartridge will be uploaded via base uploader connected to a computer with our software installed. This system, with its wealth of information, generates many reports that help management to cut costs and improve performance.

The Real Time System has monthly fees for the website use and SIM card use. The Sim card enables the 3rdEye to transmit data in real time through SMS via the GSM network. Reports will be posted to our website for viewing. The Real time system is actually an upgrade of the Post Mission System. Thus, the advantages of the Post Mission System is retained.
