Key Features Explained
Thatcham Approved
The S5 vehicle trackers have a tag system. When a tag holder enters or exits the vehicle, the vehicle instantly
recognises them as an authorised driver. The tracking system must comply with this method in order to be certified
as a Thatcham approved S5 tracker
The SmarTrack S5 is a Thatcham approved tracker that uses the tag system for identification.
Category S5 Insurance Approved Tracking
When you park your vehicle up, a real-time location report is produced using GPS satellite networks . The S5 works on unauthorised movement, so if the vehicle is parked up with the ignition off and it is moved/towed, or moved without the tag, or in case there has a battery disconnect, a trigger is immediately actioned to the control center who will contact you.
Professional Installation
We offer a mobile fitting service across the whole of the UK which means that it is much more flexible and can be fitted at your work or home, whichever is more convenient. All our engineers are fully trained, certified and licensed installers giving you peace of mind when having the tracker installed.
Alerts and Notification
If your vehicle moves without the ignition being on, or there is no card detected by the system, then the Control Centre will contact you to ask for confirmation that this was yourself and the movement is authorised by you.
Fully Transferable
The majority of the trackers we supply are fully transferable to your next vehicle. The only one that isn’t is Tracker Network Ltd. The benefit is, that you only have an uninstall and install cost, saving money on buying a new tracker.
Web App secure Tracking Portal
With most of us having smart phones or tablets, the tracking companies have created app’s for you to manage your vehicle remotely. This gives you up to date location information as to where your vehicle is parked, battery percentage and much more.
Waterproof Devices
We supply many trackers that have passed the IP67 testing meaning it is water and dust proof. Not all of them have this certification, so check with VTT beforehand.
Monitored Alarm Center with 24/7 Level 1 Police response
The Control Centre’s are monitored 24/7 so should there be any thefts, you can contact them round the clock. Equally, if there are any tampering, battery disconnect alerts or indeed any unauthorised movement they will be in contact, even if it’s the early hours.
Unauthorised Movement Sensing
The Control Centre will contact you to ask for confirmation that the vehicle is secure if it is moved without the ignition on. When installing S5 units that use a driver ID tag system, if the vehicle is without a card, the phone will be actioned via the secure operating centre. A requirement of the S5 Thatcham criteria is that the device must be accompanied by a system that is used to verify the driver of the vehicle is an authorised user. With the SmarTrack S5 devices, driver recognition can be in the form of a physical Driver Detection card. Driver Detection is a physical card-based system that requires the driver to carry a card with them when driving the vehicle. If the card is not present in the vehicle when moving, Global Telemetrics will endeavor to contact the registered keeper to ensure the vehicle's safety.

Geo Fencing
With the app, if the tracker you have installed supports Geo Fencing, you can set a virtual border around the vehicle, so that if the vehicle breaches this border, you will be alerted immediately.
High Theft Recovery Rate
We have achieved some high recovery rates with our device partners and are working tirelessly to try and make it more difficult for the criminals.
Speed Alerts
As the name suggests, the GPS works to keep track of the vehicle and detects when you are speeding and will alert you.
Repatriation Network
Our tracker partners have a database of repatriation agents, who will work to assist in the recovery of your vehicle, so you don’t have to worry about how to get your vehicle back home. This is a chargeable service. If the stolen vehicle ends up abroad or was stolen whilst you were travelling in it abroad, we will work with the Police overseas to help with the location of the vehicle.
Crash Detection
On some of the trackers we supply, there is a crash detection feature that will send an alert to your phone if the car is involved in an accident, so, if you’re not with the vehicle you can check on whoever is driving and alert emergency services if needed.
Location Request
If you are away from the vehicle and want to get back to where you parked, you can request the location in the app to guide you back to the car. If, however, you have parked in an underground car park, GPS tracking can only get you close to where the GPS signal was lost as you drove underground.
Multi Tracking Technologies
We have a range of different technologies that allows us to track vehicles in the event of a theft.
Route History
You can go back as far as 30 days to check what routes you have taken with the majority of our tracking devices. Helpful if you need to recall where you parked, or which journey you took.
International Roaming Network
Our products use roaming, multi-network SIMS which means that if you take your vehicle abroad it will select the strongest network to connect to.
Battery and Anti-Tamper Monitoring
Every tracking device has a built-in battery backup which kicks in when the tracking devices main power source has been cut off or someone disconnects the battery. An alert will be sent by the Control Centre should the battery be disconnected.
Location Request
If you are away from the vehicle and want to get back to where you parked, you can request the location in the app to guide you back to the car. If, however, you have parked in an underground car park, GPS tracking can only get you close to where the GPS signal was lost as you drove underground.

We offer subscriptions from monthly, annually and above, right up to the lifetime* of the vehicle. *Please note that the lifetime option cannot be transferred onto another vehicle
Optional Alarm Input
This is when you connect an S5 tracker to an aftermarket alarm. In the event of an alert you will receive a phone call from SmarTrack control centre and a push notification. The main alerts for the aftermarket alarm will be smashed windows, tilt/motion or the shock sensor is triggered or indeed if the doors/boot or bonnet circuits are broken which will in-turn trigger the alarm.

Read moreVery High Frequency or VHF refers to the radio frequency range between 30 MHz and 300 MHz. In vehicle tracking, VHF technology utilises these radio frequencies for communication and tracking.
VHF trackers are better in many respects as they keep transmitting signals to strategically placed ground stations. One of the most promising features is that VHF trackers provide a precise location.

Yes, there is an annual subscription fee for all trackers. Either we collect the annual subscription fee, or the tracker user has to pay it to the tracker manufacturer.
