A couple of things you'll want to check on those trackers is that they are LTE, and if the battery life is as advertised. The GSM networks that a lot of these online tracking companies use are getting shut down soon (if not already) and the old trackers will become worthless. Also, the battery life that is advertised may be for a once per hour notification (while moving) or set to alert on motion or "vibration" sense. Make sure you get what they say you are getting. I have just completed designing an in house tracking solution for Visp and many of the trackers I started with aren't going to work now. The LTE trackers (of which there aren't many available) are 4 times the price of the GSM ones even in volume. I have yet to find one for less than about $40 (bulk cost) and most are 50-100. If they are cheaper than that, they probably aren't LTE. I'd stay away from BTLE unless you are in a high density population area. They become pretty worthless in rural areas.
