FAQ
Q: I tried to activate my GPS tracker with the activation form, but never received my password. What do
I do?
A: Contact customer support at [email protected]
Q: Why is my device not getting GPS signal?
A: When the GPS tracker is experiencing interference, the GPS light (blue) will begin blinking. This means that no wireless signal is available, and the device is actively searching for a new signal. Please bear in mind that many major cities have GPS dead zones, and GPS signal may not reach underground.
Q: How long does my device’s battery last?
A: The battery should last up to 14 days but may deplete faster if more activity is detected.
Q: How do I know when the device is completely charged?
A: To make the device more discreet, the GPS will show not outward indication of battery life except when it is connected to a power supply. You can view current device battery and other metrics on amcrestgps.com under the Map tab.
Q: I just bought an additional Amcrest GPS Tracker. How can I start tracking this device if I already have an amcrestgps.com account?
A: First, activate your GPS Tracker on [insert link]. Create a new asset and build its profile. Next, create a new Hardware device and set its linked asset to the asset profile you have just created.
Q: How do I reset my Amcrest GPS Tracker?
A: To reset your GPS Tracker, press and hold the thumb-sized button on the front of the device until the blue LED light begins to flash. It will automatically reconnect to the network.
Q: Can I change how often my GPS Tracker pushes signal updates to the network?
A: Unfortunately, currently, the Amcrest GPS Tracker only sends updates at 1-minute intervals to maximize the battery life of the device.
