Frequently Asked Questions About GPS Tracking Systems in Saudi Arabia

A GPS tracking system is a vehicle and asset monitoring solution that uses satellites and 4G/LTE data to show real-time location on a map, plus trip history and alerts in Saudi Arabia. Examples include solutions powered by ZARD R12L (wired fleet tracker) and ZARD S21L (wireless magnetic tracker).

A GPS tracker works by collecting location from GNSS satellites, then sending it through a SIM data connection (4G/LTE) to a tracking platform so you can view live location, routes, and alerts in KSA. This applies to devices like ZARD W18L and W18L-U.

GPS trackers are typically accurate within a few meters in open areas, but accuracy can vary in tunnels or dense city zones. Many 4G models combine GPS with LBS for better reliability, such as ZARD S21L and ZARD W18L.

Yes. A real-time GPS tracker in Saudi Arabia usually needs a SIM card with a data plan to send location updates and alerts. This is required for devices like ZARD R56L, ZARD R12L, and ZARD V7 Pro.

The best GPS tracker in Saudi Arabia depends on your use case: wireless tracking for quick deployment, OBD plug-and-play for easy installation, wired tracking for fleet control, or video telematics for safety. Options include ZARD S21L (wireless), ZARD R56L (OBD), ZARD R12L (wired fleet), and ZARD V7 Pro (AI dashcam + GPS).

A wired GPS tracker connects to vehicle power for continuous tracking and fleet controls, while a wireless GPS tracker runs on an internal battery and is easier to hide or move. Wired tracking can be done with ZARD R12L, and wireless tracking can be done with ZARD W18L or ZARD W15.

Usually no. Wireless trackers use their own battery, and wired trackers are designed for low power consumption with sleep modes when the vehicle is parked. For battery-based tracking, consider W18L-U or ZARD W15.

Yes, some wired fleet GPS trackers support remote fuel cut-off for theft prevention and fleet control. This feature is available on ZARD R12L.

A vehicle tracking system can send alerts such as geo-fence entry/exit, over-speed, ignition on/off, vibration/tamper, power disconnection, SOS, and low battery. These alert types are supported across devices like ZARD S21L, ZARD R56L, and ZARD V7 Pro.

Geo-fencing is a virtual boundary on the map that triggers an instant notification when a vehicle enters or exits the area. Geo-fencing is available on devices such as ZARD S21L and ZARD R12L.

Yes. Trip history (route replay) shows where the vehicle went, when it moved, and how long it stopped. This is commonly available on ZARD R56L and ZARD R12L.

An OBD GPS tracker is a plug-and-play device that connects to the vehicle’s OBD-II port for quick installation and live tracking. A dedicated OBD option is ZARD R56L.

Some tracking devices support optional remote audio monitoring for security use cases, depending on model and configuration. This can be available on devices such as ZARD R56L and ZARD S21L (where legally permitted).

Many GPS trackers are built for outdoor use with dust and water resistance ratings, making them suitable for motorcycles, assets, and harsh weather in Saudi Arabia. Examples include ZARD S21L and ZARD W18L.

For ultra-long standby tracking with minimal recharging, consider long-battery models designed for assets and low-maintenance use. Examples include W18L-U and ZARD W15.

Yes. For motorcycle tracking in KSA, compact wireless trackers are popular because they are easy to hide and don’t require wiring. Suitable options include ZARD S21L and ZARD W18L.

Yes. A livestock GPS tracker is designed for outdoor, long-duration monitoring and can use solar charging to extend runtime. A dedicated option is ZARD S28L.

Yes, as long as there is cellular coverage for data and a clear view to satellites for GNSS. Rugged outdoor models such as ZARD W18L, W18L-U, and ZARD S28L are commonly used for desert use cases.

A 4G GPS tracker uses LTE networks for faster data transmission, more stable connectivity, and better real-time tracking compared to older 2G/3G devices. Examples include ZARD R12L and ZARD S21L.

Yes. Fleet GPS tracking improves safety by monitoring speed, routes, stops, and driver behavior, and by sending alerts for risky events. For advanced safety plus video evidence, options include ZARD V7 Pro.

Yes. Some solutions provide driver behavior reports, while others add AI safety features like ADAS and driver monitoring. For AI safety plus GPS tracking, consider ZARD V7 Pro.

Yes. Some trackers support SOS functions to send emergency alerts to the platform/app. This can be available on devices like ZARD S21L and ZARD V7 Pro.

Yes. Wireless trackers require no wiring, OBD trackers plug into the OBD port, and wired trackers need professional installation for best performance. Examples include ZARD W18L (wireless), ZARD R56L (OBD), and ZARD R12L (wired).

Yes. Asset GPS trackers are widely used for containers, generators, trailers, and equipment. Long-battery options like ZARD W15, ZARD W18L, and ultra-standby W18L-U fit asset use cases.

Yes, GPS tracking can work internationally if the SIM supports roaming and the device supports local LTE bands. Devices like ZARD R12L and ZARD S21L can be used abroad with proper SIM configuration.

For fleet tracking, wired trackers offer stable power, ignition detection, and advanced control features. A dedicated fleet option is ZARD R12L, and for video telematics + AI safety you can use ZARD V7 Pro.

Yes. Many vehicle tracking systems detect ignition status to log trips accurately and trigger alerts. This can be supported by wired trackers like ZARD R12L and OBD trackers like ZARD R56L.

Update frequency depends on your configuration: some trackers update every few seconds while moving, and switch to a longer interval when parked to save battery. Battery-based devices like ZARD W18L and ZARD W15 are commonly configured with smart power-saving intervals.

Yes. Tracking systems can send instant mobile notifications for geo-fence, over-speed, tamper, ignition, SOS, and low battery events. This applies to solutions such as ZARD S21L and ZARD V7 Pro.

A video + GPS tracking solution combines real-time location with recorded footage for incident evidence and driver safety monitoring. An all-in-one option is ZARD V7 Pro, which integrates dashcam + GPS tracking for fleet visibility in Saudi Arabia.
