Applies to: Oyster3-4G, Oyster3-4G-Bluetooth, Oyster3-2G

The Oyster3 has different configurable tracking modes to best fit a variety of applications.

Additionally, if an asset is stolen, the unit can be put into Recovery Mode, where the unit will live-track with an increased update rate for a configured time period, to aid in asset recovery. 

The below recordings show how to quickly and easily configure the Oyster3's update rate. 

When adjusting the update rate, we must consider:

  1. The Application
  2. Battery Life
  3. Data Usage

Default Parameters

Update Rate:

  • 12 Hour Heartbeats when stationary
  • 2 min GPS fixes recorded during a trip
  • Upload every 30 min during a trip

GPS Mode setting not available on Oyster3-Global.

Trip Start/End Parameters:

  1. 250m of movement from stationary position required to begin a trip (small movements won't start a trip)
  2. Trip ends after 5 min of no movement, or if we lose GPS for 5 min.
 
 

Set Device to Periodic Tracking - 2 x Daily Heartbeat

We simply need to set the Tracking Mode to Periodic Tracking. Default heartbeat is already 2 x Daily. When Periodic Tracking is enabled the In Trip Upload and Logging parameters no longer apply.
