FMC920 — Advanced 4G Fleet Tracker

The FMC920 is the fleet-grade hardwired tracker — everything the 4G900L does, plus the data fleets actually act on: crash detection, harsh-driving alerts, jamming alerts, driver ID, and Bluetooth sensors. R999 once-off, R45 a month on annual billing.

02 · The device
What it is

The FMC920 is the Teltonika FMC920 — a fleet-grade hardwired 4G tracker built for SME and mid-market fleets that need more than just live position. It hides behind the dash like the 4G900L, but reads more: an accelerometer for crash and harsh-driving detection, GSM jamming detection, internal offline memory, and Bluetooth for external sensors. It also supports the named-driver ID tag so every trip is tied to a person, not just a vehicle.

What it does

Everything the 4G900L does — live tracking, SVR, relay, backup battery — plus the data layer fleets need. Crash detection flags accidents as they happen. Harsh-driving alerts pick up speeding, hard braking, hard cornering, and rapid acceleration. Jamming detection catches attempts to block the cellular signal. The R499 driver ID tag identifies who's driving on every trip. Bluetooth connects external temperature, fuel-level, and beacon sensors for cold chain, fuel monitoring, and asset proximity.

03 · What you get

What the FMC920 does, day-to-day.

Every TTC device runs on the same platform. Live tracking, geofences, alerts, and the SARS logbook are included on every plan, on every device. What changes per device is the hardware — what it physically does, and what it picks up.

  • Everything the 4G900L does — live tracking, SVR, relay, backup battery
  • Built-in accelerometer — crash detection + harsh-driving alerts
  • GSM jamming detection picks up attempts to block the cellular signal
  • Towing and unplug alerts catch tampering and unauthorised movement
  • Driver ID tag (R499 once-off) ties every trip to a named driver
  • Bluetooth connects external sensors — temperature, fuel level, beacons
  • Internal offline memory keeps logging in no-signal areas
  • 4G LTE Cat 1 — modern cellular, longer support runway than 2G
Best for

SME and mid-market fleets that need driver behaviour alerts, crash detection, and per-driver trip reporting — not just position on a map.

04 · Installation

Hardwired install. Roughly 20 minutes.

  1. 01 Wire the red lead to a permanent 12 V live (one that stays on with the ignition off) and the black to ground — the same constant-power circuit an aftermarket alarm uses.
  2. 02 Hide the unit behind the dash, behind the kick panel, or under the centre console — anywhere ferrous and dry.
  3. 03 If fitting the engine cut-off relay (R200), wire it inline with the starter or fuel-pump circuit.
  4. 04 If fitting a driver ID tag, mount the iButton reader in reach of the driver.
  5. 05 Send The Tracking Co the IMEI via WhatsApp — we activate the device and any add-ons on your account.
  6. 06 Drive a 100 m test loop and confirm the trip and any sensor data appear on the platform.

DIY install is realistic for anyone comfortable with a multimeter. Many fleets fit their own once they have done one or two — TTC does not insist on an approved-installer list.

05 · Compatibility & add-ons

Add-ons, features, and what's not supported.

Clear, no-spin compatibility — including what the FMC920 can't do. If you need something on this list that the FMC920 doesn't support, the comparison table at the end of all devices will point you to the right unit.

  • Stolen-vehicle recovery (SVR) Add the R40/month SVR plan for 24/7 monitored response
  • Engine cut-off relay R200 once-off — remote immobilisation from the platform
  • Driver ID tag R499 once-off — named-driver trips and ignition lockout
  • Crash detection + harsh-driving alerts Built-in accelerometer flags driver behaviour events once configured
  • Jamming detection Alerts the platform if the cellular signal is jammed
  • Bluetooth external sensors Temperature, fuel level, asset beacons
  • Backup battery Flags power loss the moment main power is cut
  • Weatherproofing Indoor install only — use the FMC880 for outdoor / plant
06 · One plan. All features.

R50 a month. No paywalls. Cancel anytime.*

08 · Common questions

FMC920 — common questions.

How is the FMC920 different from the 4G900L?

Both are hardwired 4G trackers with SVR, relay, and backup battery support. The FMC920 adds a built-in accelerometer (crash detection and harsh-driving alerts), GSM jamming detection, internal offline memory, Bluetooth for external sensors, and driver ID tag support. The 4G900L is the better choice for an everyday work vehicle. The Tracking Co recommends the FMC920 for SME and mid-market fleets that need driver behaviour alerts, crash alerts, or sensor inputs.

What does crash detection actually do?

The FMC920's built-in accelerometer detects severe impacts and raises an immediate crash alert on the TTC platform — useful for fleets that need to respond fast to driver incidents. The same accelerometer flags routine harsh driving — hard braking, hard cornering, and rapid acceleration — once the device is configured and calibrated for driver behaviour. The Tracking Co exposes both as live alerts on the platform. It is not a substitute for SVR, but it pairs well with it.

Do I need the driver ID tag?

Only if you want every trip tied to a named driver instead of just a vehicle. The driver ID tag is a R499 once-off — an iButton or RFID key fob the driver touches against the reader before starting the engine. Trip reports, harsh-driving events, and fuel costs then attach to a person, not a vehicle. Useful for fleets where vehicles are shared. The FMC920, FMC880, and FMB140 all support it.

What is jamming detection and when does it matter?

A GSM jammer is a device that blocks cellular signal in a vehicle, preventing the tracker from reporting position. The FMC920 detects when the cellular environment goes silent unexpectedly and raises a jamming alert on the TTC platform — so even if the device cannot transmit, the operations team knows something is wrong. Jamming events are flagged the moment cellular returns. It is a feature the 4G900L does not have.

Can I retrofit an FMC920 to replace an older Cartrack or Tracker unit?

Yes. Once the contract on the existing tracker is up (or terminated), an auto electrician removes the old unit and fits the FMC920 in its place — the wiring is straightforward and the cabin holes already exist. The Tracking Co activates the new device on a month-to-month subscription, no contract. Customers own the FMC920 outright from day one — unlike Cartrack and Tracker which rent hardware on multi-year contracts.
