The FMB204 is a Teltonika FMB204 tracker with a pre-installed SIM and GNSS and GSM connectivity, 5 day battery life and is EU manufactured. It uses the Trackserver phone app, and trackserver.ie web-app.
It uses 2G networks, which unlike 3G which is gone, are going to be around for many years (2033 at least) because the IOT / metering workplace relies on it.
It comes ready to use when powered on. It has a 15mm square internal ceramic GPS antenna and 10 conductor cable. It does not need a wiring kit.
It has onboard memory for data collection following GPRS network disconnection.
Its compact size allows it to be easily placed or hidden. It needs connection to always-on power ideally located in a place with strong satellite signal reception to prevent high power consumption.
It has a significant internal Li ion battery, 1800mAh which charges in 90mins. It provides a battery life, of ca. 5 days, standalone or after disconnection from external power.
Normal installation uses only the red and black leads connecting to vehicle (always) positive and (always) earth respectively. Using a digital output (e.g. DOUT1) to install / operate a fuel cut-off fuel pump relay needs to be installed only by appropriately qualified technicians.
The printed face (front) of the tracker covers the antennae, and so must be orientated towards the sky / road /interior to optimise satellite radio signal reception.
Summary
The Teltonika FMB204 has two main modes of operation - Normal mode and Deep Online Sleep mode. It is an exceptionally flexible tracker with many alerting options available through its many digital & analog inputs and outputs.

Remote access from TrackServer interfaces allows users to:
- set the frequency for position reporting;
- define a Geo-Fence zone(s) and turn them On/Off;
- turn On/Off (Arm/Disarm) the Motion detecion function
- send commands (SMS) to the tracker to change settings;
- to set contact details of the alert recipients.
- view battery level.
