How do I associate my device to my Capturs Account?
1 – On Connect or the Capturs application, open the left menu and click on My Devices.
2 – Click on the button + to access to the addition of the new device.
3 – Complete the serial number (S/N) and the activation key (Key) indicated on the back of the device. (It is normal that the first letter (A or B) of the S/N does not then appear in the device name because it is the device’s model indicator.)
or
Click on the QR code icon and scan the back of the device.
Why does the interface say “device already registered”?
The device can only be registered for one user account. If you try to add it to a second account, this message will appear. You must delete it from the old account before you can save it to a new one.
1 – On Connect or the Capturs application, open the left menu and click on My Devices. You can see the information of your trackers (device and/or smartphone).
2 – To change the name of your device, click on the icon
on the right side of your screen, in the insert corresponding to your device.
3 – To change the picture of your device, click on the icon
on the left side of your screen, in the insert corresponding to your device. You can then upload the photo of your choice, within a limit of 2Mo, with the icon
.
How do I start a live tracking using my Capturs device?
To start a live tracking using your Capturs GSP tracker, you need to have it registered on your Capturs account and to have an active subscription for real-time data transmission.

Then simply take it with you or fix/place it. The device must be on and with battery to send its position when it is in motion.
The Capturs OBD GPS Tracker must be connected to the vehicle’s OBD II socket and the Capturs Power GPS Tracker must be connected to the vehicle battery.
Why isn’t my device sending a position?
If the device does transmit on Sigfox but there are no positions sent at the same time, this may be due to several phenomena specific to devices using satellite positioning systems.
The main position losses come from the stalling of the signals between the device and the satellites, thus preventing the triangulation of the position:
– From GPS fix just after departure, cold, where the device could no longer see the constellation of the satellites, and therefore needs about 3 minutes before starting to move to find their position and thus start to fix its position correctly.
– From the outside environment: trees, buildings and even clouds can prevent the proper reception of data from a satellite and can cause triangulation to be prevented or accuracy to be lost.
GPS Tracker Capturs Model B: A simple press on the central button of the tracker allows it to be switched on, if there is enough battery, and to start sending positions in real time. To turn off the tracker, you must keep the button pressed for about 5 seconds. The leds of the tracker will have the following behaviour: after 3 seconds the blue led will light up, then by keeping pressed, the red led will light up about 2 seconds later. You can release the button when the tracker is off.
GPS Tracker Capturs Model C : If the battery is inserted, the GPS tracker starts automatically. If a tab is fitted to the GPS tracker, gently pull it out and gently tighten the 4 screws (standard Model C) to close the case properly.
To turn off the GPS tracker, remove the battery.
GPS Tracker Capturs OBD: To turn the GPS tracker on and off, simply plug and unplug it from the vehicle’s OBD II socket.
GPS Tracker Capturs Power: To turn the GPS tracker on and off, simply plug and unplug it from the vehicle’s battery.
GPS Tracker Capturs Performance GSM: To switch the GPS tracker on and off, simply press and hold the button on the edge for about 5 seconds.
GPS Tracker Capturs Endurance GSM : To switch the GPS tracker on and off, open the case and press the ON/OFF switch located inside.
The battery varies depending on usage, device shutdowns and device configurations on the Capturs software (available for Capturs Model B or Model A only). It can last up to several months.
The battery of the Capturs OBD and POWER GPS trackers is unlimited as it is linked to the vehicle battery.
Locate the vehicle (car, truck, etc.) or boat battery.
Install the Capturs Power GPS Tracker by connecting it to the battery: connect the black wire to the negative (-) electrode and the red wire to the positive (+) electrode.
Attach the Capturs Power GPS tracker to the battery using double-sided tape.
When the LED flashes, the Capturs Power GPS Tracker is powered on.
The Model B (and A) Capturs GPS tracker is not waterproof and has no IP certification, but we provide with each GPS tracker a waterproof pouch that allows the GPS tracker to be sheltered from water.
The Model C Capturs, Endurance GSM and Power GPS trackers are certified IP67. They are waterproof, dustproof and weather resistant.
Please note that the Model C Beehive GPS tracker is not waterproof, unlike the standard Model C.
The GPS tracker Capturs Performance GSM is IPX5 certified. It is protected against water splashes from all directions.
The Analytics feature allows you to have advanced analysis on the activity and events of your Capturs trackers. These analyses are designed with Google Data Studio using your trackers data. They are represented in the form of various tables and graphs.
How do I access it?
1 – On Capturs Systems Connect, open the left menu and click on Analytics.
2 – Go to the advanced analyses: select date, zone and tracker. Scroll through the different tables and graphs by clicking on < > at the bottom of the page. Click on Google Data Studio at the bottom of this page for additional analyses.
You don’t have access to this feature? Contact support@capturs.com.
1 – On Capturs Systems Connect, open the left menu and click on Areas.
2 – Click on the button + to access to the addition of the new area.
3 – Create a specific area by moving the points that surround it, give it a name, a color and validate. Create all the areas you need this way.
4 – All the areas you created are now on the map at the top of this same page. They are also saved in the library of your account in order to reuse them by creating area alerts.
5 – The check in / check out table is at the bottom of the same page. It allows you to have precise data on the trackers that have entered or left these areas, as well as the times and dates.
How to understand, use and customize the raw data table?
1 – On Capturs Systems Connect, open the left menu and click on Raw data.
2 – Select a tracker in the search bar to bring up the table.
3 – Click on
to choose the columns you are interested in. The columns are : Date, type, Sigfox sequence, event sequence, is moving, temperature, battery charge, GPS latitude, GPS longitude, GPS position, GPS altitude, GPS speed, GPS accuracy, software version, time stamp and tracker ID.
4 – You can now analyze the table and graphs that correspond to the raw data emitted by your tracker. These are doubts the data sent by the tracker to each event received by the tracker.
Points of Interest (POIs) are your own landmarks. You can easily create them by entering a street address or by pointing to the map. They will be displayed on the map if you select the “points of interest” icon on the right side of the screen. Also, easily find your points of interest on the map by filtering them using the top bar that appears when you have saved POIs. With the “Labels” tool, customize your points of interest even better by categorizing them with colors.
What does the trajectory from the network triangulation correspond to?
When you click on
on the map, a pink trajectory appears. It corresponds to the trajectory according to the atlas points, calculated by the Sigfox network and according to the signal levels received for the last message. This trajectory can be useful to see the position of a tracker when no position has been received.
Which platform should I use according to my needs?
The Capturs Connect platform is rather intended for individuals who wish to track a tracker or be tracked in real time for personal use.
The Capturs Systems Connect platform is rather intended for professionals and companies. It has data, graphs and tables on the status of Capturs trackers in real time, allowing easy management of tracker fleets and better analysis of events. The Capturs Systems Connect platform has the same functions as the Capturs platform, with specific features added.
Note: It is possible to use both platforms independently according to your wishes. The Capturs account identifier is the same for both platforms and for the Capturs application.
