Key Features Explained

Thatcham Approved

Thatcham Research carries out research so that it can tests vehicle security systems, trains apprentices, and provides data that insurers use to classify cars into insurance groups.

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

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.

Fully Transferable

This tracker we supply is fully transferable to your next vehicle. 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.

Flexible Subscription Options

We offer flexible subscriptions that will make it easy to fit your budget – whether you are someone who has one vehicle, or you manage a fleet of vehicles, we can find the perfect solution. We offer subscriptions from monthly, annually, 3-year up to 5 years.
*(Tracker can be transferred along with subscription when you are in a valid contract)

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 tag, 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 Vodafone Protect & Connect S5 VTS devices, driver recognition can be in the form of a physical Driver Detection tag. Driver Detection is a physical tag-based system that requires the driver to carry a tag with them when driving the vehicle. If the tag is not present in the vehicle when moving, Vodafone will endeavor to contact the registered keeper to ensure the vehicle's safety.

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.

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.

Recognised by all major insurers

We are recognised by the major insurers as a trusted partner, having been in the business for many years and have worked alongside this sector providing vehicle security to the highest of standards. Our team are all highly trained and certified meaning you will always get experienced installers.

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.

Route History

You can go back as far as 6 months 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.

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.

12 and 24 Volts

The trackers we supply mean that you can see where your vehicle is, at all times due to the high level of technology involved. We have devices suitable for all vehicles with the option of 12 and 24 volts depending on the technical requirements. We will recommend the appropriate trackers for your vehicle whether it be a motorbike, car, van or truck

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.

Driver Recognition Tags

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.
