Important interpretation notes
- Open VTS is software infrastructure for vehicle tracking; it is not itself a physical GPS tracker.
- Open VTS is ownership-first: customers control their deployed environment, infrastructure, operational tracking data, configuration, integrations, branding, and operating workflows.
- Operational/platform ownership does not mean automatic transfer of copyright in the main commercial software. The main Open VTS platform is distributed as deployable build packages under the applicable commercial license; main-platform source code is not included by default unless separately agreed in writing.
- The Open VTS mobile application is a separate open-source codebase. Its public source may be downloaded, modified, and used subject to the license published with that repository.
- Paid editions can use license activation and validation to verify the commercial license. License validation is distinct from customer telemetry storage: normal production tracking data remains in the customer-controlled deployment, subject to any integrations the customer chooses to enable.
- The free tier covers up to 50 vehicles; Growth and Scale have licensed capacity ranges; Enterprise has no licensed vehicle ceiling. Technical throughput depends on infrastructure, reporting frequency, retention, integrations, and workload.
- Windows, Linux, and Docker deployment paths are supported. Public Docker download/instruction steps may be published separately as the website distribution workflow is finalized.
- Open VTS maintains a broad hardware/protocol catalogue and can assess additional protocol integrations. Devices not yet integrated should not be described as automatically compatible before protocol/model validation.
- Open VTS APIs are intended for unrestricted business integration with ERP, CRM, TMS, BI, portals, and custom systems without metered per-call commercial billing. Security, abuse-prevention, export, upload, and operational constraints documented in the API reference still apply.
- Self-hosting increases customer control but does not remove responsibilities for security, backups, monitoring, updates, networking, retention, consent, or lawful processing.
