Q&A
Q&A – ON PERSONAL LOCATING SYSTEM
For sensitive customers, is on-premise installation possible, rather than sending it to the cloud in the US?
It is possible to have a data server installed on-premise, however this would drastically increase the price. On-premise installs will be evaluated and charged on a case-by-case basis.
What is the locator’s coverage area?
Coverage depends on the shape of the area. In general, a minimum of four (4) locators are required for the first 1,200sqm, with one (1) additional locator for each additional 600sqm.
With Securitrack™, is it possible to track using cell wire/ Bluetooth/Wi-Fi?
Technically, we can scan most signals, however our system can only scan our tags, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi signals from phone.
What is the range of the Locator?
The range of detection is determined by the device, not the locator. Our 4mm thick ID card can be detected from a distance of 50 meters in an open area. Most signals from a phone can typically be detected from a distance of 30 meters in an open area.
We would like to power-up the Locators without relying to the existing setup of equipment that we have in the store. Can we request a USB power adaptor for the Locator?
You can power-up the locator from the back of any computer, Wi-Fi router, or any device equipped with a USB outlet. Unfortunately, we cannot provide power adaptors at this time.
Are the ID cards water-resistant?
Yes, all of our ID cards are water-resistant.
How long will the battery in the ID card last?
Our thick ID cards (4mm) can last up to two (2) years. We also offer thinner ID cards, equipped with both traceable chips and RFID chips, which must be charged every two (2) months.
How do I gain access to PLS system?
In order to gain access to the PLS system, you must provide us the floor plan/map of the area in which you would like to install the locators and pinpoint the specific spots where you would like the locators installed. You will also need to change your Wi-Fi settings to our default Wi-Fi setting:
• SSID Name: SECUREAP21
• Security Protocol: WPA2 AES
• Wi-Fi Password: securitrack@!
• Router Gateway IP: 192.168.43.1
What is the frequency band of the locators?
2.4Ghz
What is the frequency of the transmission of data? Is it real-time?
The device sends data every second, but our software use average data is collected over 10 seconds.
What is the public IP of the server?
Our server is located in North America. Its IP address is [132.148.26.9].
What is the bandwidth requirement?
The data is minimal, about 3-10Kb per second per device. For example, if there are 100 devices in a department store, a dedicated speed of at least 5Mbps would recommended.
If a person/employee transfers from Store A to Store B, will they continue to be traced?
With a small modification to our software, we can trace the person in a different building (in this case, Store B).
What is the minimum/maximum number of people who can use the ID tags?
There is no minimum number, but the maximum number is around 256 people per 250sqm area. This density would be similar to a fully-packed theatre.
Can you provide us the monitoring tool of Securitrack™?
You will receive access to the Securitrack™ feature about 1-2 weeks after we confirm receipt signals.
What if the ID tag is accidentally turned off?
If an ID tag is accidentally turned off, the user will not know, but the admin system will be made aware. Our current models are always turned on, however with a minimum order quantity of 5,000 pieces, it is possible to customize tags to allow turning them off with a switch or an app.
If locators scan customers’ smartphone signals, will it require a bandwidth increase in addition to the dedicated speed of 5Mbps?
Locators scan all signals, including phones, tags, and other devices. A dedicated speed of 5Mbps will be sufficient for this.
Is there any way we can change the IP of the locators (preferably, the IP address obtained via DHCP)?
Yes. In order to save the trouble of assigning IP to each individual locator, our default factory setting utilizes DHCP to automatically assign an internal IP address. To avoid manually setting up and testing each individual locator, we simply name the SSID, password, and authentication protocol as previously indicated.
Do you need DNS settings to connect to the server? What service port is needed to access the firewall?
Please open the following ports:
• 80tcp
• 443tcp
• 7001udp
If you are using DHCP, you do not need DNS at this point.
What is the encryption strength?
We utilize Secure Hash Algorithm System.

What knowledge or experience is required for distributors? Must they be very skilled in computers and software?
