Vectra documentation
Everything from unboxing a tracker to wiring a cut-off relay, drawing geofences, surviving a winter in storage, and pulling your fleet into your own systems over the API.
Getting started
What the system is and how to bring a tracker online.
Installation
Where the unit goes and which wires go where, per asset type.
Choose a mounting spot
Where the unit goes decides how well it hears satellites and how long it stays hidden.
Install on a boat
Three wires, about ten minutes, on outboards and inboards alike.
Install on an ATV or side-by-side
Same three wires, more vibration and more mud to design around.
Install on a vehicle or trailer
Vehicles are the easy case. Trailers need a power decision first.
Wire the cut-off relay
The optional fourth wire that lets you stop an asset from your phone.
Using Vectra
The map, geofences, alerts, sharing, and reporting.
The live map and trails
Reading the map, following a breadcrumb trail, and replaying a trip.
Geofences and zones
Drawing the boundary an asset should stay inside, and deciding what happens when it does not.
Alerts and notifications
Rules, channels, cooldowns, and how to avoid teaching yourself to ignore them.
Share a live link
Give a customer, a tech, or a spouse a view of one asset without giving them an account.
Reports and analytics
Usage, hours, distance, and the paperwork an insurer will ask for.
Hardware & power
Batteries, storage mode, tamper detection, and the command reference.
Battery and power
What the voltage reading tells you, and how to read a battery that is on its way out.
Winter and long-term storage
Keep an asset tracked through the off-season without coming back to a dead battery.
Tamper and wire-cut alerts
What the tracker does when someone finds it.
Device command reference
The commands Vectra sends your tracker, and what each one changes.
Account & billing
Plans, fleet pricing, staff access, and the API.
Plans and billing
What you pay, what fleet pricing does, and how to move a subscription between assets.
Staff and access
Letting your team in without handing round one login.
API and integrations
Getting your fleet data into your own systems.
Connect Claude to your fleet (MCP)
Ask an AI assistant where your boats are, and let it answer from live data.
