Lighthouse Starline M17 is designed to determine the coordinates of the vehicle and inform the owner about an unauthorized start of movement. It can work in conjunction with car alarms, the beacon can be powered both from built-in batteries and from the car's on-board network.
Lighthouse technical parameters
High geopositioning accuracy (5-10 meters) is achieved thanks to the GPS / GLONASS antenna with high sensitivity. Also, the device is able to receive a signal from several satellites in a short period of time and calculate its coordinates.
Information about the location of Starline M17 is transmitted to the owner via SMS messages or via a GPRS data channel to the monitoring server. In this case, you can monitor the movements of the device using any device - a smartphone, tablet or computer connected to the Internet.
A microphone is integrated into the device, so you can hear what is happening around the car or inside the cabin (depending on the location of the beacon). The sounds of the environment will help to more accurately identify the location of the vehicle.
An integrated motion / turn sensor allows you to inform the owner of the car about unauthorized movement using an SMS message.
The main scenarios for the operation of the search device
Mayak 17 Starline can control external devices installed on the vehicle. Automatic start of the engine, preheater, car alarm siren - any scenario can be implemented. You can also configure the transmission of alarm messages to the owner's phone when external devices are triggered.
A powerful ARM processor allows you to implement complex scenarios - analyzing the state of the batteries, the balance of funds on the account of the mobile operator, informing the owner about the need to replace the battery and replenish the account.
The system has two operating modes - normal and alarm. In the first, the device periodically transmits information about its coordinates, in the second, the data transfer becomes continuous, for the fastest search for a car.

When the external power is turned off, the battery is automatically switched to battery power, then autonomous operation is possible for 2 years. The small dimensions of the tracker make it possible to use it in a wide range of human activities: finding and monitoring equipment, animals, people, and so on.
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!
Clarification of position on GSM/GPS/GLONASS system. During autonomous operation, in order to save energy, a common element SK 123 A is used. It operates in the following modes:
- ordinary;
- anxious.
Normal: The beacon sends a position signal from time to time, and a long period of time 
"asleep" - the period of time works up to a full discharge up to two years. The second type of mode: the instrument sends an alert and stays connected all the time, in this state, the battery can last for about 10 days. A distinctive feature of the Starlight M17 is the presence of a motion sensor. The device will send a notification about unauthorized movements of controlled objects, for example, about the evacuation of a vehicle. The built-in type microphone makes it possible to carry out audio monitoring in the area of the bookmark, for example, with an approximate detection of the location of a stolen vehicle. It is possible to find a vehicle by beeping, and realize how far away it is.
How to turn on the beacon for the first time?
We should also pay attention to the first connection of Starlight M17. It is enough just to send one SMS command to the beacon's SIM card number. To facilitate control and find a vehicle, it is recommended to register on one of the following portals mayak.mobi and starline-oline.ru.
Consider the main features of the lighthouse:
- GLONASS positioning;
- Long-term work, where there is no external power - up to approximately two years;
- A module designed to turn on external power;
- Support portal and easy operation;
- Sensor of movements, concussions and positions in spaces;
- There is a microphone, you can remotely control the audio.
StarLine M17 is a miniature search beacon, which is designed to identify the exact coordinates of the object, the location of which needs to be monitored. It can be placed in any car. In addition, you can use it to identify the location of the car owner, if you install the device in your pocket or purse.
The small dimensions of the lighthouse make it possible to discreetly install the lighthouse in such unexpected and secretive places where it will be difficult to find it. Due to the fact that the device is in a "sleep" state for a long period of time, it is almost impossible to find it using an air scanner and a GSM signal detector.
Thanks to the presence of built-in microphones, you can listen to the situation around you on a cellular phone. The lighthouse has a built-in motion sensor, thanks to which it is possible to detect the first period of movement or overturn of protected objects and tell the car owner about these important moments using an SMS message. A universal additional channel allows you to remotely control using external devices (emergency-type motor blocking, auto-on connection, siren, and so on).

- A very stable SIM card with free roaming and unlimited internet traffic.
Car alarms have a limited range of the key fob; in urban areas, the range of the radio signal is hundreds or tens of meters, depending on the building density. On the other hand, there is cellular communication coverage anywhere in the city, so devices that transmit data via cellular operators' channels via GPRS are becoming more and more popular. Lighthouse Starline allows you to control the location of any object equipped with a device from anywhere in the world where there is a mobile connection.
The main features of lighthouses
All beacons of the line use highly sensitive antennas that are able to receive data from GLONASS / GPS satellites and quickly calculate geographic coordinates with an accuracy of 5-10 meters. Now there are 4 models of equipment on sale, each of which has its own use case:
- M15 ECO - does not require connection to the car's electrical networks, it works completely autonomously, it has its own batteries. Can only inform the owner about the movement of the Starline beacon. You can buy this model for a motorcycle or boat, it has small dimensions.
- M17 - connects to the power supply and control circuits of the car, has a built-in motion sensor, can send a lock command to the engine, preventing theft;
- M66 S and M66 M - act not only as a tracker, but also as a protective device. The driver must log in via a secure Bluetooth channel using a wearable RFID tag or smartphone. Without a GPS tag, the Starline beacon will block the engine and other protective devices. Thanks to the connection to the diagnostic connector, they read information about the state of the vehicle's systems.
If the vehicle is already protected by a car alarm with an interactive coding mode, then you can limit yourself to the younger model, which will help you find the car in case of theft. Older models are already a full-fledged telematics complex, increasing the level of vehicle protection.
Any starline lighthouse can transmit information to a free online monitoring service, where you can monitor the route of the car in real time. All devices are based on powerful ARM processors, which not only quickly calculate coordinates, but also process information from built-in motion and rotation sensors.
Nuances of equipment installation
The main function of the beacon is to remain as long as possible unnoticed by intruders, so in normal operation they get in touch quite rarely, the communication session lasts no more than a few minutes. In this mode, the Starline GPS beacon is difficult to detect using direction finders. In the case where the car is hijacked, the location data transmission can be continuous in order to find the car faster, but this increases the risk of detection of the device.
It is also important to seriously approach the installation site of the beacon. It is necessary to ensure high-quality reception of signals from satellites, since the signals are shielded by the metal parts of the car, while making the installation as secretive as possible. It is better to place the device case close to the electronic standard electronic systems in order to avoid the risk of detection by the non-linear locator. The efficiency of the device largely depends on the installation of the Starline beacon, so it is better to consult professionals who specialize in equipment of this brand.
