S7 Vehicle Tracking Device Plymouth

Insurance-approved stolen vehicle recovery trackers are all categorised by Thatcham. This is done with security features specifically in mind.

The category S7 tracker is the most commonly installed device by Trackershop.

S7 tracking devices all include 24/7 fully staffed control room service, as well as battery-tamper/motion alerts.

If a theft is detected, the control room uses the live tracking info on their screens to guide the responding police unit to your vehicle.

Currently, the most popular S7 tracking device in Dorset is the ScorpionTrack S7 Tracker.

The ScorpionTrack S7 has an advanced customer app and the most cost-effective subscription options.

S5 Car Tracker in Plymouth

In many cases, a higher level of security may be required in order to have your insurance fully validated.

This will be if your vehicle is over a certain value (typically approx.£40,000) or and/or if it is located in a highly targeted area.

New quick, covert, and highly effective car theft techniques have made it worryingly easy for thieves to take your vehicle.

One of the most effective theft techniques is 'relay attack'.

Relay attack is where thieves target keyless entry cars and hack the key fob radio frequency to easily gain entry in seconds.

As a result, the additional ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition) System in the S5 vehicle tracker has been designed to counteract this theft technique - with great success!

The ADR system includes a small ID fob that you keep with you when using your vehicle. This identifies you as an authorised driver.

When a thief uses relay attack or even steals your car key to take your vehicle, an instant alert is triggered in the 24/7 control room.

They then contact you to confirm the theft and then liaise with the responding police unit to recover your vehicle.

This proactive response means that your vehicle will typically be recovered within minutes!
