Based on a hierarchy of fleet size, storage capacity, data download technology, and system options etc., the Shadow Tracker systems are designed and marked as following product lines:

TravelEyes 2
Shodow Tracker J2
Shodow Tracker Performer
Shadow Tracker Premier
Shodow Tracker 2000
Shadow Tracker Software

The Shadow Tracker Premier and 2000 are almost identical to the Shadow Tracker Performer except the Premier and 2000 do wireless 900 mHz downloads to your computer instead of having to remove the black box from the car and take it into the house to download the data manually. Unlike all other products, here there are 2 black boxes instead of 1. There's the normal black box that goes in the car. And there's another black box which is a base station that connects to your computer through a 9 pin serial port. It receives the 900 MHz downloaded data for your computer.

All Travel Eyes & Shadow Tracker vehicle units have a built in GPS receiver and they store travel information while the vehicle is traveling. Once the information is collected, at any time, you as system users can download the travel data by connecting the small black box to your computer (TravelEyes, J2 and Performer) or wireleesly (Premier and 2000). Then you can see the detailed travel activities on the computer screen and optionally print them out. You can also print reports about the travel of the vehicle including maximum speed, miles driven, stops made, the street address of the stop and how long the stops were. The devices have a variable setting that determines how often the unit will record location information. This setting, referred to as the "Collection Rate", determines the number of hours of travel the unit will store information. Below is a chart that indicates the approximate amount of driving hours that the unit will record at each setting. Please keep in mind that this is actual driving time; while the vehicle is sitting still, the memory capacity of the device is not depleted. These products are very economical, reliable and accurate GPS tracking devices for business owners, contractors or parents to use.

Installation

The black box can be mounted anywhere on the vehicle although most people secure it in the glove compartment. You can install it with any method that you like but using Velcro strips is the most convenient method.

Powering the Unit
You can power the unit with any one of 3 available power cables:
1. a power cable connected to the fuse box.
2. a power cable plugged into the cigarette lighter.
3. a power cable connected to the battery.
Just specify which cable you'd like shipped with your unit.

GPS Antenna Placement
Common locations for the antenna are: Behind the front or rear plastic bumper, behind the front grille, on top of or under the dashboard or rear window decklid, under the speaker grille on the dashboard or rear window decklid, at the 3rd eye brake light, on cowl at gap between hood and base of windshield or on top of the car's roof.

The antenna will normally pick up a signal through plastic and glass so it can be mounted underneath the dash in most vehicles, but the optimal placement for the antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. If you mount the GPS antenna inside the vehicle's bumper, try to mount it as high up as possible and preferably in the corner. Just remember, you cannot have a metal surface directly above the GPS antenna; plastic is alright.

The antenna can also be placed under the car with the antenna pointed down or at the edge of the car with the magnetic mount.

Operation

TravelEyes2, J2 and Performer: The black box incorporates internal memory that records everywhere the vehicle travels. When you want to review your teen's travels, you can remove the unit from the car and download the data to your computer.

ST premier/2000: The black box incorporates internal memory that records everywhere the vehicle travels. When the vehicle returns home (within approximately 1/2 mile), travel data is automatically downloaded to your computer with a 900 mHz wireless transmission.

Note that the Premier/2000 has less built-in memory than the TraveleyesT and Shadow TrackerT Jr, Performer and Pro units. This is because with the automatic downloads, whenever the car returns home, it's memory capacity doesn't need to be that large. With the other products, the black box may remain in the car for weeks storing data before it's downloaded to the computer.

After you have downloaded the data to your computer, you can produce reports for any date range, whether a day, week or month. The reports will accurately show the month, day, year, hour, minute, second, speeds, and detailed street level mappingof the entire route of travel.

There is an LED light that glows red when powered and green when it has acquired the GPS signal. When you have a green light, it's active.

If the black box is disconnected from the power source, this will be indicated in the reports.
