Thatcham Trackers S5/S7
Ultimate Vehicle Tracking Solutions for Enhanced Security
With the rise in vehicle theft across the UK, installing a reliable tracking system is more important than ever. Vehicle Solution Systems, a leading provider of advanced vehicle security solutions, proudly offers Thatcham-approved Trackers – particularly the S5 and S7categories, which are recognised as the best in class for securing your vehicle against theft.
What are Thatcham Trackers S5 and S7?
Thatcham Trackers are vehicle tracking devices that meet strict industry standards set by Thatcham Research, the independent body responsible for approving automotive security devices in the UK. These trackers are designed to monitor your vehicle’s location in real-time and provide immediate alerts in the event of theft.
Both S5 and S7 trackers are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, offering real-time tracking, 24/7 monitoring, and instant recovery support. While S5 trackers offer the highest level of protection, the S7 trackers still provide a solid security solution at a lower cost.
The Difference Between Thatcham S5 and S7 Trackers
- Thatcham S5 Trackers
S5 trackers offer the highest level of vehicle tracking and recovery technology. These devices come equipped with features like driver identification (through a tag or mobile app), geofencing, and proactive alerts if your vehicle is moved without authorisation. They are also specifically designed to prevent keyless theft, making them ideal for vehicles with keyless entry and start systems. The S5 trackers are typically installed in luxury and high-performance cars that are at greater risk of theft. - Thatcham S7 Trackers
The S7 trackers, while offering fewer features than the S5, still provide excellent real-time tracking and theft recovery solutions. These trackers are suited to a wide range of vehicles, from everyday cars to commercial fleets, and are ideal for those seeking a cost-effective yet reliable tracking system. They offer 24/7 monitoring and allow you to track your vehicle via an app.
Benefits of Installing Thatcham Trackers with Vehicle Solution Systems
- Immediate Theft Alerts
Both S5 and S7 trackers provide instant alerts if your vehicle is moved without permission. In the case of an S5 tracker, unauthorised movement without the key fob will trigger a silent alarm, notifying the monitoring centre and allowing them to track the vehicle’s location in real-time. - Driver Recognition (S5 Trackers)
S5 trackers are equipped with advanced driver recognition technology. This means the system can identify if the person driving the vehicle is authorised to do so. If the key fob isn’t detected, the system sends an alert, even if the vehicle is started. - 24/7 Monitoring and Support
Vehicle Solution Systems ensures that all our Thatcham-approved tracking systems are backed by round-the-clock monitoring. In the event of theft, our control centres will immediately track the vehicle and liaise with law enforcement to ensure swift recovery. - Geofencing for Extra Security
Geofencing technology allows you to set up predefined geographical areas for your vehicle. If the vehicle leaves or enters this zone without authorisation, an alert is triggered. This is especially useful for fleet managers or high-value car owners looking for extra security. - Insurance Discounts
Thatcham-approved trackers like the S5 and S7 are recognised by most insurance companies. Installing one of these trackers can significantly reduce your vehicle insurance premiums, as it lowers the risk of theft and improves recovery chances. - Mobile App for Real-Time Tracking
With the mobile app, you can access real-time location updates and monitor the status of your vehicle from anywhere. The app provides instant notifications of any unusual activity, giving you complete control and peace of mind.
