Real Time GPS Tracker: Live Location Tracking for Vehicles, Assets & People

Live GPS Vehicle Tracking

Live GPS vehicle tracking is one of the most common reasons people come to BrickHouse - and we've built our lineup specifically around it. Whether you need a real-time tracker for a car, truck, motorcycle, or trailer, there's a device that fits without requiring professional installation or a long-term commitment.

If you want zero maintenance, a plug-in OBD tracker connects to the port under your dashboard in under 60 seconds and draws power directly from the vehicle - the battery never dies. It's the most popular choice for fleet vehicles, teen drivers, and company cars. If you need something more discreet, a hardwired GPS tracker is wired directly into the vehicle's power supply and stays completely hidden - ideal for motorcycles and long-term real-time vehicle tracking. If you need to move the tracker between vehicles or attach it to something without a power source, a magnetic portable device attaches under a bumper or inside a wheel well and runs on a rechargeable battery.

All three setup options run on the same live GPS tracking platform - the same app, the same geofencing tools, the same speed and motion alerts. The only difference is how the device gets its power.

What You Can Do With Real-Time GPS Tracking

Once your live GPS tracker is active, the platform gives you far more than just a dot on a map. Set a geofence and receive an instant alert when your tracker crosses in or out of a boundary - arriving home, leaving a job site, or entering a restricted zone. Set a speed threshold and get notified the moment it's exceeded. Enable motion alerts so you know immediately if something that should be stationary starts moving. Every trip is logged in location history with full timeline playback, so you can generate mileage reports, review routes, or confirm proof of presence. And if you're tracking more than one device, a single account covers your entire fleet or family - no per-seat fees, no separate logins.

Find the Right Real-Time Tracker for Your Need

How to Choose the Best Real-Time GPS Tracker for You

With several real-time GPS tracking devices in our lineup, the right choice comes down to three things: how the tracker gets its power, how long it needs to run, and how discreet it needs to be. Here's a straightforward way to narrow it down.

Power source is the first filter. If you're tracking a vehicle you own and want zero maintenance, a plug-in OBD tracker or hardwired GPS tracker runs off the car's battery - you never charge it. If you need a live GPS tracking device that moves between assets, or you're tracking something without a power outlet, go with a rechargeable or long-life battery tracker.

Update frequency vs. battery life. Real-time tracking at 3-second intervals is available on all our devices - but it drains battery faster on portable units. For most vehicle tracking situations, a 30-second or 60-second update interval gives you all the accuracy you need while stretching battery life from days to weeks.

Coverage area. All BrickHouse real-time GPS trackers operate on 4G LTE networks across the US, with select devices supporting international tracking. If you need live GPS tracking outside the US, check the product spec for international plan availability.
