Why Gator?
Based locally and capitalising on over 30 years’ experience servicing the Australian automotive aftermarket, Gator is more than just another brand imported from some other market and adapted to work here in Oz. Accordingly are no promoted features that work in other jurisdictions, yet remain unsupported here in Oz. Likewise, you are not paying for the development of features and/or functions that are effectively useless to your application, like support for foreign cell networks or fitment to vehicles which do not make their way to our shores. The Gator range of products are designed for Australians by Australians, with no compromises made for other markets around the world.
Perhaps the best example of what sets Gator apart from other brands is the GTKPRO2 vehicle tracking system. This innovative product has been developed specifically to cater to the needs of individuals, families and commercial operations, incorporating none of the superfluities found in alternatives yet featuring several indispensable necessities that aren’t. The GTKPRO2 is, for example, the only vehicle tracking solution available that operates on a secure locally-based server, ensuring your sensitive tracking data never goes offshore. This one unique selling point alone provides a significant layer of added safety for your loved ones and/or employees, and ensures information about travel movements aren’t able to be intercepted once the data travels beyond our national borders and legislative jurisdiction. Gator Tracking is the ideal solution for individuals, families, small businesses and large commercial fleets for this reason alone.
The Gator Range
Vehicle Tracking
The above mentioned GTKPRO2 features a packaged solution which combined the sim card and server subscription into the one service, so you no longer have to maintain a separate subscription with your mobile service provider and Gator or wonder whether one might not work due to the status of the other. Simply maintain one cost effective annual subscription and you are sorted, no need to pay twice for fully integrated service. Gator also offer the GTRAKPRO, ideally suited to larger commercial fleets and capable of reporting myriad parameters about the vehicle’s location and condition in real time that are useful to operators at their base of operations. Finally, Gator offer the GTRAKAST, which is a small and self-contained GPS tracker unit that can be stowed in or on your vehicle, or carried on your person, to provide realtime updates on location Gator do so much more than vehicle tracking though.
Heads-Up Display
The HUDVSS1 provides at a glance information about vehicle speed, which can be taken from the VSS wire at the ecu or from its own internal GPS sensor. It can also report information covering fuel consumption rate, battery voltage, throttle position, coolant temp and other information if interfaced with the OBD port of the vehicle.
The GALT01 is an integrated information display designed specifically for offroad vehicles. Unlike conventional HUD solutions the GALT01 is able to report additional information uniquely useful to those who venture off the beaten track. This including the pitch angle, roll angle of the vehicle when travelling over uneven terrain, and the elevation of the vehicle above median sea level. It also integrates a digital compass, ensuring you’ll always know your direction of travel, even in the absence of navigational cues.
Dashcams
Dashcams in which Gator truly shines brightest is dashcams, with a huge range of dashcams in a variety of styles and form factors to suit most every intended use application imaginable. Gator’s selection of rear vision mirror mounted display is the perfect way to retrofit a reversing camera into a vehicle never designed to accommodate one, and in a way that doesn’t detract from the factory aesthetics of the vehicle. There is also a pair of extremely cost-effective camera and mirror combo packages to choose, in the form of the GRV43MKT and GRV96MKT. Gator also provide a selection of vehicle specific direct-fit reversing cameras to suit the Volkswagen Amarok and Mitsubishi Triton.
Accessories
There’s even a neat little solution designed for those needing to add a USB charging socket into their vehicle. This GHWCUSB2 features a voltage regulator capable of outputting a clean and stable 5VDC from the vehicle’s standard 12-14.4VDC system and incorporates a handy little adaptor which allows you to pull power from the nearby fuse panel so to avoid the need to run a discrete power cable from behind your HVAC controls or, worse, through the firewall of your vehicles firewall in order to access the battery. Gator also provide a range of video cables and wiring kits to aid in the fast and efficient installation, and a clever dashcam security skin compatible with the GHDVR85W and GHDVR95W dashcams, capable of preventing the power or data storage card from being removed from the device.
