NEED HELP CHOOSING THE BEST S5 TRACKER?
WHAT IS AN S5 THATCHAM TRACKER?
'Thatcham' is the name of the vehicle security test centre (otherwise known as the Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre).
Thatcham Research is responsible for categorising the level of vehicle security that a product offers. S5 is a Thatcham quality assurance rating. This means when you see 'S5 tracker' this is a Thatcham classification.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN S5 CAR TRACKER?
ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition) - ADR is the additional security included that helps identify the authorised driver(s) of your vehicle. This is usually achieved with a small portable tag that the driver keeps with them when using the vehicle.
If the vehicle is moved without the tag present then an instant alert is triggered in the Control Room.
24/7 Control Room Service - If your vehicle is stolen there is a fully staffed Control Room service ready to raise a level 1 police response. The Control Room guides the responding police unit directly to the exact location of your vehicle.
A Recovery Team is also deployed to the location.
Sophisticated Alert System - Additional alerts include battery tamper, disconnection, geo-fencing, lift/tow-away alerts.
Optional Immobilisation - Immobilisation is no longer an essential feature under the CAT S5 vehicle tracker category. However, this additional security is still an optional extra. You can find this S5 tracker with immobilisation on the CAT S5 PLUS category page.
HOW MUCH DOES AN S5 TRACKER COST?
The S5 tracker cost starts at £395 upwards. This is because S5 is the highest level of vehicle security. With 24/7 monitoring and instant theft alerts, the chances of theft prevention or recovery of your vehicle shoot up to over 96%!

WHY DO I NEED AN S5 TRACKING SYSTEM?
Typically, this will be due to a stipulation set by your insurance provider. Due to the escalating keyless car theft and low recovery rate, insurers are insisting that motorists take extra precautions to ensure the security of their vehicles. The S5 tracking system has been designed to counteract keyless theft.
However, whether it is an insurance proviso or not, any security-savvy motorist can have an S5 tracking system installation to increase vehicle safety and peace of mind.

Yes we do! Trackershop's mobile Installs Team provides full mobile S5 tracker installation UK wide.

HOW DOES AN S5 TRACKER WORK?
The S5 stolen vehicle tracker works using a tag system, which means that the tag carrier is automatically recognised as the authorised driver when entering and leaving the vehicle.
This is in addition to the standard 24/7 monitoring service and theft alerts.
CAN I GET AN S5 VEHICLE TRACKER AND IMMOBILISER?
Yes, you can! These will be the S5 Tracker PLUS category. The best option is the ScorpioTrack S5 PLUS. This is an active immobiliser that you have full control of via your fob and app.
