GPS tracker & theft alerts · motorcycles first
Your bike, in sight.
OTEO is a compact tracker and a calm, visual app that watches your motorcycle while you’re away: where it is, whether it’s moving, and how much you can trust that information.
In development · Early access information coming soon
Design principle
Calm when calm. Obvious when urgent.
Security information only helps if you can understand it in seconds — sometimes at 3 a.m., sometimes under stress. OTEO is intentionally visual, friendly and clear, to reduce ambiguity instead of adding to it.
Visual
State is shown with word, shape and colour — not buried in numbers.
Understandable
One plain sentence first. Technical detail only when you ask.
Calm when calm
A parked, protected vehicle should never feel like an emergency.
Obvious when urgent
A real alert takes over the screen and says what to do next.
Pleasant
Something you don’t mind opening every day.
Quick under stress
Readable in under ten seconds, one action at a time.
01Product
What OTEO does
A small tracker on the vehicle, a cloud that never stops listening and an app that answers in seconds. Planned capabilities for the first version:
Know where it is — and how sure we are.
GPS / GNSS tracking
Satellite positioning from a tracker installed on the vehicle. Every position is labelled: precise fix, approximate or last known.
Real-time location
While the tracker is reporting, the map follows it live and shows the age of the data — “38 s ago”. When data goes stale, OTEO says so.
Location history
Trips, stops, events and alerts on one timeline linked to the map. Periods without data appear as gaps, never filled in with guesses.
Geofencing
Draw a circle or an area — Home, Garage, Work — and choose to be notified when the vehicle leaves it, enters it, or both.
Alerts that mean something.
Movement alerts
Arm protection with one tap. If the vehicle moves while protected, you are alerted straight away.
Push · email · Telegram
Theft detection
Movement while protected escalates to a critical alert: follow it live, then mark it as theft or false alarm. Tampering is flagged only when the device reports it.
Recovery mode
Once you confirm a theft, a persistent recovery mode keeps recording every position and stays visible across the app.
Know how fresh the data is.
Battery monitoring
Battery level or voltage, external power and low-battery alerts — shown exactly as the device reports them. No invented percentages.
Connectivity & device status
Last communication, position type, signal and power at a glance. An expected sleep is told apart from a delayed report, so silence doesn’t trigger false alarms.
02Tracker
A compact, autonomous GPS tracker.
Designed to hide inside the vehicle and keep reporting on its own, independently of your phone and the vehicle’s wiring. Planned hardware capabilities include:
Motion & vibration detectionAutonomous, battery-powered
Runs on its own battery, independent of the vehicle’s electrics. Battery status is reported exactly as the device measures it.
Compact, hidden installation
Small enough to sit out of sight — under a seat, behind a panel or inside a fairing.
GNSS positioning
Satellite positioning outdoors, with the type and age of every fix always visible.
Wi‑Fi assisted positioning
Where satellites can’t be seen — garages, narrow streets — nearby networks can help estimate an approximate position, clearly marked as approximate.
Cellular connectivity
Reports over low-power cellular IoT networks such as LTE‑M and NB‑IoT, depending on final hardware and local coverage.
Motion & vibration detection
Designed with motion and vibration sensing to notice when the vehicle is moved, knocked or handled — including tamper-like handling.
Updates & event reporting
Regular location updates, plus immediate event reports when something happens.
Built for vehicle security
Designed around theft scenarios first: protection, alerts and recovery.
Concept illustration. Hardware configuration is being refined; final specifications will be published once confirmed.
03How it works
How it works
Three parts, one job: tell you what is happening to your vehicle, and how much you can trust that information.
- 01
Tracker
Installed on the vehicle. Takes its position from satellites, senses movement and sends compact reports over the cellular network.
- GNSS position
- Movement events
- Battery & power
- LTE‑M / NB‑IoT
- 02
OTEO Cloud
Receives every report, keeps the vehicle’s history, checks protection and geofence rules, and decides when — and how urgently — to notify you.
- History
- Protection rules
- Geofences
- Alert delivery
03OTEO App
Shows status, map and timeline in seconds. Arm protection, receive alerts, follow live and resolve incidents. Designed for mobile and web.
- Now · History · Vehicle
- Push alerts
- Mobile & web
The tracker talks to OTEO Cloud, not to your phone: the history keeps building even when you’re not looking.
04Map
Context, not just coordinates.
A planned 3D view places your vehicle in its real street — buildings, trees, useful places and your geofences — so you understand at a glance where it is and what surrounds it.
Protected · liveReal map data
Building footprints and heights from OpenStreetMap. Unknown heights are drawn flat, never guessed.
Light of the hour
The scene follows the sun at the vehicle’s location. At night, an alert is the only saturated colour.
Useful places first
Parking, fuel, workshops, police, pharmacies — everything else one tap away.
An optional layer
The fast 2D map stays the default. 3D is there when context matters.
05Security
Built for the moment something feels wrong.
OTEO is designed to help you detect anomalous situations around your vehicle — and understand them quickly. Normal states feel calm; serious events are impossible to miss.
One severity scale, from calm to critical
Colour warms up as urgency rises. Every level also has a number, a word and a symbol, so it never depends on colour alone.
- —Off
Unwatched
Protection is off. No colour, no alerts — just the map.
- 0Calm
Protected
Watching, with fresh data. Nothing is happening.
- 1Attention
Check when you can
No news, low battery or doubtful data. Silence is not theft.
- 2Warning
Something odd
A knock, possible tampering or silence after movement — without displacement.
- 3Critical
Moving while protected
OTEO takes over the screen and shows what to do next.
- RECRecovery
Theft confirmed
Every position is recorded; the mode stays on every screen.
Three independent signals, never mixed
- SecuritySet by you.
- Unprotected · Protected · Alert · Recovery
- MovementMeasured by the tracker.
- Moving · Stopped · Unknown
- CommunicationHow fresh the data is.
- Live · Expected sleep · Delayed · No data
Honest by design
- 1Never colour alone. Every level has a word, a shape and a colour, so it reads for everyone — including people with colour-vision deficiency.
- 2Last known is not current. Current, last known and approximate positions never look the same. A stale position always carries its time.
- 3Nothing invented. Missing data is shown as unknown. No interpolated routes, no guessed precision. Possible interference is a hypothesis shown with its evidence, never a verdict.
- 4Calm until it matters. Urgency is earned. Critical alerts get their own sound and bypass quiet hours; everything else waits its turn.
06AnalysisWorking prototype
Intelligent incident analysis
OTEO is actively prototyping an incident-analysis layer with the Claude API. Our security engine first evaluates deterministic vehicle and tracker signals; Claude then helps interpret unusual combinations of movement, positioning and connectivity events and turns them into a short assessment the owner can understand at a glance.
The prototype already runs end to end against the Claude API and returns a structured analysis: a level (normal, attention, warning or critical), a plain-language summary and what is still uncertain. It has been exercised on normal states, suspicious movement, possible tampering, connectivity anomalies and theft-like sequences.
It is being validated with simulated tracker telemetry while physical hardware integration is completed. It is not part of the app yet and is not available to users. Core tracking and security alerts remain deterministic and do not depend solely on AI.

- Level
- 2Warning
- Summary
- Unexpected movement was detected while the vehicle was protected and the owner was not detected nearby. GNSS quality then deteriorated while cellular connectivity remained available. This combination is unusual and may require attention.
- Uncertainty
- No confirmed displacement yet. Not enough evidence to conclude a theft.
- Suggested next step
- Check the live view. If displacement is confirmed, OTEO’s rules escalate to critical.
Who does what
- Detect
OTEO rules
Deterministic rules turn raw tracker data into objective signals and trigger the alerts. No AI is needed for this.
Core system - Explain
Claude
Combines those signals and explains them in plain language, including what is still unknown. It never raises an alarm on its own.
Working prototype - Decide
The owner
Gets context instead of an exaggerated conclusion, and decides: follow live, mark as theft or call it a false alarm.

- 3No automatic theft verdicts. It gives context; the owner decides.
07Community
Community-assisted recovery
A future, opt-in layer for theft scenarios. If the owner decides to, they can share selected information about a stolen vehicle, so people nearby can help spot it — and every useful sighting goes straight back to the owner.
