Trackers
At In Car Advancements, we provide a comprehensive range of stolen vehicle recovery and fleet management systems tailored to meet the highest industry standards. While there are numerous independent and multinational companies offering tracker installations, we stand apart as true specialists in this field. Our expertise and dedication ensure that we deliver the best stolen vehicle tracking products available, including Thatcham-approved Cat 6/S7 and Cat 5/S5 systems, designed to meet your insurance requirements. Having a tracking system installed offers a significant advantage in recovering your vehicle in the event of theft. All our Thatcham-certified systems are monitored by a secure tracking center, enabling real-time communication with local authorities to recover your car or van quickly and safely.
Many customers ask whether a tracking system is worth it and if it truly works during a theft. At In Car Advancements, we only offer products with a proven track record of successful recoveries. With vehicle theft on the rise, particularly with methods that bypass the need for keys, there has never been a better time to invest in a stolen vehicle tracking system. The trackers we install are compact and discreet, ensuring they are well-hidden within your vehicle for added security. We vary the installation location with each vehicle, making it extremely difficult for thieves to locate and remove the device. Even you, the customer, won’t know the exact placement. Additionally, our trackers are equipped with a built-in backup battery, allowing them to operate for up to 28 days even if the vehicle's battery is disconnected. Tilt and motion sensors provide added protection, instantly alerting the tracking center of any unauthorised movement.
Thatcham Categories and Insurance Requirements
As of 2019, Thatcham has streamlined its tracking system categories to align with updated insurance requirements. These categories are outlined below:
Thatcham S7: Replacing the previous Cat 6, the S7 remains the most commonly installed Thatcham tracker. It provides excellent security and is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including BMWs, Mercedes, Fords, and Land Rovers. The key difference between S7 and S5 systems is the inclusion of ADR / Driver ID tags in S5 models.
Thatcham S5: A newer addition to the Thatcham lineup, often referred to as the Thatcham VTS tracker, the S5 includes all the features of the S7 with the added benefit of ADR / Driver ID tags. These tags, typically supplied in pairs, ensure the vehicle is only operated by an authorised driver. If the tag is not present, the tracking center will immediately contact the owner to confirm if a theft is in progress.
Thatcham S5 with Immobilisation: This is the updated version of the original Cat 5 system, offering enhanced protection for high-value vehicles and those with stringent insurance requirements. In addition to the features of a standard S5, this system includes starter immobilisation, allowing the police to remotely disable the vehicle during a theft. Advanced options, such as the Eco Trak S5Immo, provide additional protection against key cloning by requiring the ADR / Driver ID tag to disarm the immobiliser. The system also alerts the owner if the ignition is activated without a tag present, ensuring rapid response to potential theft attempts.
With recognised products from leading brands like Meta, Vodafone, and Eco Trak, In Car Advancements delivers unparalleled security solutions to safeguard your vehicle. Trust us to provide expert installation, reliable products, and comprehensive support to give you peace of mind.
Vehicle owners invest in stolen vehicle trackers to provide unparalleled security and peace of mind in an era where car theft is increasingly sophisticated. These advanced systems utilise cutting-edge GPS and GSM technology with anti jamming to ensure vehicles can be quickly located and recovered in the event of theft. For many, a tracker is not only a proactive measure to protect their investment but also a way to meet insurance requirements for high-value or high-risk vehicles. Modern trackers offer features such as Driver ID tag alerts, tamper alerts, motion sensors, and immobilisation capabilities, significantly reducing the likelihood of permanent loss. By choosing a professionally installed tracker, vehicle owners gain confidence in knowing their asset is protected 24/7 by a secure monitoring center that works in tandem with police enforcement to recover stolen vehicles swiftly and efficiently.
