SmarTrack Overview
The SmarTrack Protector+ is a
covertly installed device and does not require any involvement from
the owner. You would use the vehicle as normal.
SmarTrack utilises the satellite
based GPS system for vehicle location. This enables the 24hr Secure
Operating Centre to pinpoint your vehicles exact location within
seconds. GSM technology is employed to communicate with the SmarTrack
system.
The Protector+ incorporates a
movement sensor, which detects unauthorised movement of your Vehicle.
If the Vehicle is illegally moved, a signal is sent to the SmarTrack
Secure Operating Centre who will in turn call the owner to confirm a
possible theft. If the theft is confirmed, SmarTrack can begin to
track the vehicle live.
If your vehicle is stolen, you will
need to obtain an incident/crime number from your local Police and
pass this to the 24hr SmarTrack Secure Operating Centre. SmarTrack
will then establish the exact location of the stolen vehicle using GPS
technology and highly detailed mapping screens and liaise with the
Police, Security and Recovery services providing regular location
updates as necessary until your vehicle is located and recovered.
Once your vehicle has been located,
SmarTrack will arrange for a Security Guard to wait with it until
recovery can be arranged.
Unlike other tracking devices,
SmarTrack can be transferred from one vehicle to another by any
SmarTrack approved engineer.

Alarms and immobilisers are installed
to vehicles to deter thieves, unfortunately this cannot always be
guaranteed, if the thief is left undisturbed for long enough they can
be overridden. Tracking devices on the other hand are installed
to track the vehicle following a theft, these devices are far more
likely to succeed as there are no tell tale lights or sirens to
attack. We are all well aware of the vehicle crime problem in
the UK. Not only are vehicles stolen by joyriders but many are also
stolen to order. Professional gangs could be targeting your pride and
joy today. Key theft is a serious problem today. Even
though many vehicles are now equipped with sophisticated alarms and
immobilisers, they are rendered useless if the thief has your keys!
