GPS tracking with HI-601VT

Oct 22, 2007 gps navigation, hacks, tracking

HI-601VT from Haicom is a retrofitting GPS / GSM tracking device that works with any regular SIM card with a phone number from any regular phone. The accessories that enables you to track the device from an analog phone look like they are from the cold war era but as long as it works…

Also there are accessories which even let you control your car (more like disable) that can stop the oil pump or electricity again using any phone. And if you get the microphone kit you can also stream voice from the HI-601VT side. There’s even a vibration system that wakes up the system, or dial back when triggered.

The way it works is that HI-601VT A/C decoder can decode the GSM and send it back as dial tone in the digital GPS NMEA format which can be attached to the universal microphone cable on any phone speaker, which then transmits the dial tone back into your decoder for the decoding.

It is a universal solution which can be used with any dial tone from any phone speaker. User can track the remote object by using any traditional home phone or the latest smart phone.

We’re not sure who’s importing this into U.S. or Europe just yet but HI-601VT really is a serious GPS tracking solution which would make life a lot easier for stalkers :) The fact that it lets you listen or even disable a vehicle using an analog phone is a unique feature which is pretty much a DIY Lo-Jack system without monthly fees. Of course you’ll need a SIM card dedicated to this but HI-601VT will still probably be a cheaper solution.

We’ll be sure to let you know if this becomes available in stores. Do leave a message if you come across this for sale anywhere on the internet. Check out these rar links (manual A, manual B ) for more details.
