Key Features Explained

Category 7 Insurance Approved Tracking

When your vehicle is been parked, a real-time location report is produced using GPS satellite networks and Very High Frequency technology (VHF) which will work even if you are parked in an underground car park for example. The S7 works on unauthorised movement, so if the vehicle is parked up with the ignition off and it is moved/towed, or has a battery disconnect, a trigger is immediately actioned to the control center who will contact you.

All our engineers are fully trained, certified and licensed installers giving you peace of mind when having the tracker installed.

Alerts and Notification

When you park your vehicle up, a real-time location report is produced using GPS satellite networks. The S7 works on unauthorised movement, so if the vehicle is parked up with the ignition off and it is moved/towed, or has a battery disconnect, a trigger is immediately actioned to the control center who will contact you.

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.

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.

ith 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.

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 have devices suitable for all vehicles with the option of 12 and 24 volts depending on the technical requirements.

Ask a Question

Very 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.
