Even with insurance, victims of vehicle crime face an increase in insurance premiums and it has been estimated that the average direct cost of having your vehicle stolen is £4,700, even with fully comprehensive insurance, not to mention hassle and disruption to daily life, travel rearrangements and finding a replacement vehicle.

Should the unthinkable happen to you, you'll be glad you chose TRACKER, the UK's number one stolen vehicle recovery company offering an extensive and competitively priced range of products that brings peace of mind to vehicle and plant equipment owners.

TRACKER stolen vehicle recovery systems have a Thatcham Category Q listing. This means they meet the highest standards set out by Thatcham, the industry's official body for approving security products. Many insurance companies recognise the many benefits of TRACKER and most policies carry a discount where a TRACKER system is fitted.

TRACKER stolen vehicle recovery systems work like an electronic homing device. A covert transmitter is hidden discretely in one of several dozen places around your vehicle. There is no visible aerial or other identifying feature so the thief can't see it and won't know it's there.

Even if your vehicle is taken to France or Spain, or actually stolen whilst you are in either of these countries, TRACKER can still locate your vehicle.

Stage 1:
Vehicle owner contacts TRACKER HQ and the police to inform that their vehicle has been stolen.

Stage 2:
TRACKER HQ activates the unit hidden in the stolen vehicle. The vehicle is now emitting a silent land based radio signal.

Stage 3:
The silent signal can now be picked up by any of the UK's 52 police forces that are within the vicinity of the stolen vehicle. The signal will direct the police to the exact location of the stolen vehicle.

Stage 4:
On customer request, a uniformed guard waits with your vehicle until it is recovered to a destination of your choice - anywhere in mainland Britain. This service applies only to stolen vehicles located within mainland Great Britain.

Stage 1:
If a TRACKER Monitor equipped vehicle is illegally moved, a movement sensor hidden in the vehicle sends a signal to TRACKER HQ.

Stage 3:
The silent signal can now be picked up by any of the UK's 52 police forces that are within the vicinity of the stolen vehicle. The signal will direct the police to the exact location of the stolen vehicle.

The vehicle is now emitting a silent land based radio signal and its position is being logged via GPS satellites.

Stage 3:

TRACKER Echo utilises GPS* and GSM** technologies to pinpoint your stolen vehicle. TRACKER also provides you with an extra level of protection by fitting a separate unit using our existing proven VHF land based radio technology, that will lead the Police to the exact location of your stolen vehicle.

This system also comes complete with a driver validation tag which is registered to your vehicle and must be carried with the driver on every journey. This tag ensures that even if the car is stolen using your keys, TRACKER HQ will be alerted of the potential theft immediately.

Stage 1:
If a TRACKER Echo equipped vehicle is illegally moved, a movement sensor hidden in the vehicle sends a signal to TRACKER HQ.

Or if the unique driver validation tag registered to your vehicle cannot be detected by the TRACKER unit, indicating that your car could have been taken with the keys, again a silent alert is sent to TRACKER HQ.

Stage 2:
TRACKER HQ contacts the vehicle owner to confirm whether the vehicle has been stolen. When confirmed as stolen to TRACKER HQ and the police, tracking can commence. The vehicle emits geographical positioning data via GPS and GSM technologies and a silent land based radio signal.

Stage 3:
The geographical positioning data is being picked up by the TRACKER 24 hour Control Centre. The vehicle's precise position is determined and the appropriate police force is notified. Meanwhile, the silent signal can also be picked up by any of the UK's 52 police forces that are within the vicinity of the stolen vehicle.

If the European coverage subscription has been paid, then the same degree of tracking can be provided in Europe in partnership with a new, multi-country 24-hour service called EUROWATCH. On TRACKER's behalf, EUROWATCH communicates with the appropriate European police force to ensure the fast recovery of your vehicle.

Stage 4:
On customer request, a uniformed guard waits with your vehicle until the AA recover it to a destination of your choice - anywhere in mainland Britain. This service applies only to stolen vehicles located anywhere within mainland Great Britain.
