Do I need to install in-line fuses?
No, the device has internal protections including a self-resetting thermal fuse. The G70 is load-dump and short circuit protected and tested - so that it can withstand the harsh electrical environments of vehicle installations.
Does the G70 do Driver ID?
Yes, the G70 has TTL, 1-Wire and Wiegand interfaces to support an extensive selection of DM and 3rd party readers. This means a wide wide variety of card types can be read. See - G70 - Driver ID Options.
Can I set up the G70 to be able to remotely immobilise the vehicle, or only start when there is a valid Driver ID?
Yes, see:
Can I get an alert when the unit is unplugged or tampered with?
By default, the G70 will send an upload with the log reason "External Power Removed" if it is unplugged. The internal Li-Po back up battery will mean that it will keep operating for a while after this happens. An alert needs to be set up on the end software platform to notify users. See External Power Removed Alerts - G70
Can I get harsh cornering, rollover and speeding alerts?
Yes, see Harsh Event Setup and Accident Detection and Reconstruction + Accident Data Exports
For speeding alerts, the device will report it's speed, and then the end platform can alert on this.
How accurate is the speed reporting?
We use high quality components and make use of GPS Aiding Data to ensure the best performance. Typically, speed is accurate to within +/- 2km/h. But GPS isn't perfect or 100% error free, it can in rare instances be wrong, see here: GPS Settings and GPS Accuracy.
Can the G70 have Bluetooth?
No. See the device technical specs for details on what capability the G70 does/doesn't have. The G120, Oyster Edge and Remora3 have BLE.
