How To Use Brickhouse Security SNPC Car Trackers User Guide
There are several capabilities available for tracking vehicles with the Brickhouse Security SNPC car trackers, especially the Spark Nano 7 model. This device is easy to place covertly in a car due to its small dimensions (3.0″ x 1.5″ x 1.0″) and weight (3.3 oz). It ensures dependability in a variety of settings by operating effectively in a broad temperature range of -20 to +55 degrees Celsius.
The Spark Nano 7’s 2600mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery is one of its primary characteristics. This durable battery has a standby life of up to 14 days, an average use life of one week, and a continuous monitoring life of 14 hours. The update frequency can be changed to 5 or 10 minutes to increase battery life, which might enable the gadget to run for more than 21 days between charges. The Spark Nano can also be purchased as part of a 140-day kit that comes with magnetic housing and a 17,800 mAh battery for longer tracking periods.
