A datasheet for the tools themselves
Every tool follows the same rules, so you know what you get before you type a number.
| Topic | Rule | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Your numbers | Calculated in your browser. Your inputs are sent to our server, and kept for up to 45 days, only if you ask for the emailed report. | Local |
| Cost | Free to use. No account needed. | Free |
| Reports and files | Sent by e-mail through a signed link, up to three files a day per address. | Signed link |
| Device values | Bit rates, battery, storage and similar numbers are typical values. They are labeled as such and you can edit them. Replace them with the figure from your device datasheet. | Typical |
| Rules and approvals | Checkers tell you what to verify and where. No tool states that a device or a provider is approved. | Verify |
What are the Tracom tools?
The Tracom tools are calculators, checkers and quizzes for people who specify, install and run tracking and video devices. They put a number on questions that come up in every project: how many days a recorder keeps video, how much mobile data a tracker uses, how long to cut a fuel probe, and whether a device meets a tender clause.
The tools come from the team behind Tracom ST100 trackers and Tracom M1N MDVRs, so the inputs follow the way installers and tender teams talk about the work. Every tool runs on the figures you enter and shows the formula behind its answer.
Which tool answers which question?
Start from the question, not from the tool name.
| Question | Tool |
|---|---|
| How long will an MDVR SD card last? | MDVR SD-card endurance and replacement |
| How much 4G data will live video use? | MDVR 4G video data calculator |
| Which SIM plan does a tracker need? | Tracker SIM data calculator |
| Which ignition signal should the tracker read? | Ignition-detection method and voltage threshold |
| How long should a fuel probe be cut? | Fuel sensor cut-length calculator |
| Does a device meet a tender's clauses? | Tender spec matcher |
| What does a cheap tracker cost when it fails? | Cheap vs reliable tracker cost |
| Which tracking rules apply in a country? | Tracking mandate checker |
| Which foreign SIMs are close to the 120-day limit? | KSA foreign-SIM 120-day clock |
| Will the cable carry enough voltage to every device? | Power-feed designer: wire size, voltage drop and fuse |
| What does my tracker really send? | Tracker frame decoder for JT808 and GT06 |
| Is the gap between a fill and a tank reading fuel loss or heat? | Fuel volume temperature correction (V15) |
| How many vehicles and days does a pilot need? | Pilot sizing planner |
| Is my fleet list ready to import? | Fleet list validator: IMEI, ICCID, plates and dates |
| Can the camera read a plate at that distance? | Camera readability checker (DORI) |
| Which DSM and ADAS alarms should we switch on first? | ADAS and DSM alarm selector |
| How many hours can a tracker store without coverage? | Offline buffer planner |
| Which fuel data source can we trust, and for what? | Fuel data source accuracy checker |
| Which devices stopped reporting? | Device health report from a CSV export |
| How do I pull a signal out of a CAN frame? | CAN signal extractor |
Why are device values typical?
A bit rate, a battery size or a storage figure changes with the model, the firmware and the settings. So each tool starts from a typical value, marks it, and lets you change it.
- Typical values carry a label on the page.
- Replace them with the figure from your device datasheet.
- Tracom staff can update the defaults when a datasheet is published.
Check before you sign
Results are estimates based on the values you enter. Confirm them against the device datasheet and your contract.
When do you move from estimate to recorded data?
A calculator tells you what your numbers imply. A device tells you what happened. When an estimate raises a question, such as how many days your MDVR really recorded or whether a tracker reported on time, the next step is the data from the vehicle itself.
Tracom ST100 trackers log position and driving data on the vehicle. Tracom M1N MDVRs record video. Camera options such as DSM/ADAS are confirmed with the Tracom team. The SCMS portal and over-the-air updates keep both configured and current.
Who are the tools for?
- Fleet managers sizing a tracking or video project.
- Installers and integrators planning materials, SIMs and setup.
- Tender and procurement teams matching specs to requirements.
- HSE officers setting DSM alarms and journey check-in points.
- Consultants and auditors checking readiness.
Before you start
Common questions about the Tracom tools
Something specific about your project? Ask the Tracom team.
Are the Tracom tools free?
Yes. Every tool works without an account and shows the full result on the page. The report and CSV files are optional: enter your name and e-mail and we send them to your inbox.
Is the data I enter stored or shared?
No, not while you calculate. Calculations run in your browser. When you request a report, Tracom receives your contact details and a link that holds your inputs, and keeps them for up to 45 days so it can e-mail you the report.
Why are device values labeled typical?
Because a bit rate, battery size or storage figure changes with the model, firmware and settings. Each tool starts with a typical value that you can edit. Replace it with the figure from your device datasheet.
Can I use the tools with devices that are not from Tracom?
Yes. Most tools accept the values of any tracker, MDVR or sensor, because every device value is an input. Pages mention Tracom ST100 and M1N only where it helps.
Are the tools available in Arabic?
Yes. Every tool has an Arabic and an English page with the same inputs, formulas and results, so a bilingual team works from the same numbers.
What are the limits of Tracom's role?
The tools give you an estimate or a checklist. They do not replace the device datasheet, a site survey, your contract or legal advice. They never state that Tracom, a device or a provider is approved. Approvals and final design stay with you, your installer and the authority.
Beyond the estimate

Tell us what you run and what you need to prove. The Tracom team will show how ST100 and M1N capture it.
