Having your vehicle stolen is a distressing experience. The process of reporting the theft, waiting for updates, and dealing with insurance claims can be stressful, time-consuming, and expensive.
Having a stolen vehicle tracker fitted to your car can change that outcome, as our systems use GPS and advanced communication technology to share real-time or near-real-time location data with you, the police, and recovery services. This instant access to accurate information significantly reduces recovery time, often allowing vehicles to be located and retrieved before any major damage occurs.
Instant Location Data
Trackers use GPS, GSM, VHF, or a combination of these technologies to pinpoint a car’s exact location. Once unauthorised movement is detected, such as the ignition being started without the key, motion sensors activating, or a power disconnection alert, the tracker transmits the vehicle’s position directly to a 24-hour monitoring centre. From there, trained staff contact the vehicle owner and share the live data with the police, enabling them to act quickly.
With immediate location updates, law enforcement can move fast to intercept the vehicle before it’s hidden, stripped for parts, or transported elsewhere in the country. Even a short delay can make recovery harder, as stolen vehicles are often moved to storage sites or shipping ports within hours.
Alerts and Monitoring
Modern trackers send alerts if the battery is low, if the device is tampered with, or if the vehicle leaves a predefined area. This allows owners to spot suspicious activity straight away. For example, if the vehicle moves at midnight when it should be stationary, both the owner and the monitoring centre can respond immediately. Trackerfit offers 24-hour monitoring across many of its tracking systems.
Integration with Insurance and Regulatory Standards
Many insurers require or favour vehicles fitted with approved trackers. Our devices often meet standards such as Thatcham, CAT 5, CAT 6, and CAT 7, depending on the model. Because these trackers meet rigorous technical criteria, they are widely accepted by insurance providers, helping speed up cooperation and claim processing if a car is stolen. Insurance companies are also more likely to offer reduced premiums or lower excess for vehicles fitted with approved systems.
Free Nationwide Installation
Trackerfit provides free nationwide installation by Thatcham-approved engineers. A professionally fitted tracker is discreet, secure, and less vulnerable to tampering, ensuring it performs properly when needed most.
Multiple Technology Layers
Some advanced trackers combine several communication technologies: GPS for precise outdoor tracking, VHF for hard-to-reach areas, and GSM for data transmission. This layered approach improves reliability. If the GPS signal is blocked, for example in an underground car park, the other systems continue to track the vehicle. The team at Trackerfit offers models with combined GPS and VHF or GPS/GPRS/GSM technologies for stronger performance in different environments.
Driver Recognition and Remote Controls
To prevent false alerts or misuse, certain trackers include driver recognition systems (DRS). These identify authorised drivers using coded tags or smartphone pairing. If the vehicle starts without a recognised driver, the system immediately raises an alert. Trackerfit supplies devices with DRS capability, adding another level of protection and ensuring faster response times during genuine theft attempts.
Battery Backup and Alerts
A common tactic used by thieves is to cut the vehicle’s power or attempt to remove the tracker. High-quality systems are built to counter this with internal battery backups, tamper sensors, and disconnection alerts. If the main power supply is cut, the tracker switches automatically to its internal battery and sends an instant warning to both the monitoring centre and the vehicle owner.
Trackerfit devices include both battery backup and low-battery alerts, ensuring that tracking continues even if the vehicle’s power is interrupted. These features keep you informed and help recovery teams act quickly, even if thieves attempt to disable the system.
